BY r. d. THOMAS.

After challenging the world for 20
years to show him shot he couldn't
make, Charlie Peterson at last has
found billiard genius who. if he can't
stump him, at least can do about every
thing with cue and ivory within range
of his own wizardry.
Next Friday and Saturday Washing
ton will be privileged to see part of
probably the strangest struggle ever
staged on the green baize.
A Spaniard named Isidros Ribas has
risen to dispute Petersen's right to the
title of world champion trick shot
maker and the pair are at it now. The
competition opened with a series of
matches in st. Louis, was continued in
end and will finish the business in
Cuba, aggregate scores to determine the
winner and occupant of an official
throne set up by the National Billiard
Association.
Petersons Reign Threatened.
PeterSon'S supremacy as specialist,
unquestioned for two decades, is seri-
ously threatened, and make no mistake
about it, you cue pushers to whom
Charlie Peterson's name is a byword,
and Ribas', until lately, was unknown.
The fellow made shot in Chicago
recently that none other than the great
est of modern billiard competitors. Jake
Schaefer. declared was impossible.
He made another that Peterson pro-
nounced marvel, a draw shot that
caromed off eight cushions. 1t required
lightning thrust, plus well neigh in
credible control to do that. Schaefer's
arrangements of the balls, too, required
remarkable draw. the cue ball COM
ing from freeze with one sphere jam
med in a corner to touch the other
snugly tucked in the far triangle. His
eight-cushion billiard, we learn from
George T. Cox, who is managing the
o and the
corner trick, it is said. rather embar-
raSSed the cOckSure Schaefer. RlbaS
pulled it on the first try.
Had it been in the competition with
Peterson the shot probably would have
gained several points for the Spaniard,
not improbably the full five possible,
under the system of scoring devised
specially for the unique contest. Only
four attempts are permitted to make
a given shot and if these fail five
strokes are added to the players score.
Least number of shots, of course, will
determine the winner.
Pete son and Ribas each has tricks
in wfAh he is particularly adept and
the contest is centered largely in the
maxim, of each others pet shots. About
all tt..-: fancy ones known to the game
are Excluded in the repertoire of the
pair But for a match they name about
II piece of their most difficult. Then
they take turns, first one then the
other calling the shot.
According to all accounts it's a fas-
cinating show, thoroughly spiced with
variety and contrasting the ordinary
billiard match between experts which
is thing so monotonous that world
championship tournaments barely make
expenses.
A summary of one of the skirmishes
