A Leal CisHtsge to Ecddy GtHjgher-C-cieril Eport irg Km cf the D:y. "Sew Yoke, Dec 1. Jacob Schacfer and Georse I". Slosson played a billiard match at Cbickering Hall to-night for the cham pionship of the world, a cup emblematic of the same and 1,000 a side. The hall was crowded. The men played ou a standard table. 5x10. The came was a 14-inch balk line, 800 points up. Maurice Daly acted as referee. The game bej;an at 8:30 r. 51. Both men were in the pink ot condition. There was a strong spirit of rivalry between them, and everyone in the house felt they were going to witness the best rjame of billiards of their lives. Schaefer won the string, and, choosing the spot ball, essayed a long shot. He missed and the Student started in. He found only 2. The Wizard missed an easy shot and gave his opponent another chance. Slosson nursed them care fully and made 20 before he had to step aside. Schaefer made 2 and Slosson 1 in the next inning. In the fourth neither counted and in the fifth Schaefer made none and Slosson 1, while in the sixth Schaefer made 2, Slosson, 0. Schaefer had evidently BECOYERED HIS XXRVS when he opened th; seventh inning. Swift ly, almost noiselessly, he counted every time, and his brilliaut plays lrequently evoked rounds of applause. "When he passed the 25-point mark the crowd yelled with joy. Forty-seven. 4S, 49, counted aloud by Bud ScliorJeld, the official marker, and then 50. Acain the Wizard was round ly cheered. After making 87 points Schaef er made what Beferee Dalyaecided was a balk on the line, and Slosson took his place to plav his half of the seventh inning. Schaefer's good showing had evidently nerved him, and there was a look of grim determination on his thin white face. He raissed an easy one on the forty-second shot, however, and retired with something like a smothered curse ou nis lips. Again Jake took the cue, and there was a smile of tri umph. In his first four shots he had two difficult masse plays to make and the manner in which he made them evoked thunders of applause. There were many ladies in the house and they were jut as much excited and enthusiastic about the great came as the men. Schaeler appejred to be silently the favorite, but the belting ou the result of the jrarae was even tanner and the choice. It looked as if Schaefer was going to make a record more in the eighth inning, but he lost it on the lower left hand corner of the table after counting 39 times. THH STUDEST WAS rUSIIED. Slosson, looking just a littie flushed, be gan to play amid a death-like silence. He counted up to the twenty-ninth shot, when he made a brilliant cross-table shot, and again in the forty-eighth shot. His ball was at the foot of the table and the two x others at the upper end, one in each corner. He counted on them, though, and received the greatest applause so far in the evening. This seemed to rattle him, though, and he went out on the forty-ninth shot. The score at the end of the eichth inning was: Schaefer, 10; Slosson, 114. The men were ttied for tnc next lew innings. In the ninth Schaefer made 2. Slosson 0; in the tinth Schaefer made 10. Slosson G; in the eleventh Schaefer 3, Slosson 7; twelfth, Schaefer 3, Slosson 7; thirteemh, Schiefer 7, S'.oss.m 3; lourtecntb, Schaefer 1, Slosson 0. Then the Little Wizard went to tne table again and played brilliantly until he missed a difficult bank shot, alter making 17 points. Slosson made a point, and missed au easy cross-the-table shot. The average thus far wvs very ordinary. Sixteenth inning, Schaefer 0, Sloson lo; seventeenth, Sshaefer 3, Slosson 9. In the eighteenth inning Jake nursed them on the lire and kept them there until he lud scored 73 points, when he re tired amid the plaudits of the ciowd. The score, when Slosson went in to plav, was .Schaefer 247, S.osson 1C2. F THE WIZAED'S 'WONDERFUL 'VVOKK. ' In his half of the 18th Slosson counted 34 and in the 19th Schaefer played billiards. Getting the ivories ou the line a;ain he played them so that it seemed as if he had ir.em on a wire. Back and forth he sent 'hem together across the table from one i-onier to the other, and his cue hall flitting , by and all around them. He drove them -lowly down through the center of the green lablclike a team of thoroushbredk. He 'never played in better form than during this inning. He reached and passed the hun dred liiark safely and still he kept on gent ly clickingathe ivories. Where was he go ing to stop? He still had them well in hand and with every shot he seemed to gain more confidence in himself. His playing alone in this innincredcemed the game irom any mediocrity. It was, in deed, txpert playing. Schaefer made 128 points when he stopped. Slosson looked Jcvcrish when he went to play. His hands trembled ju-,t a little, and he missed an easy shot alter making ten points. Schaefer, a little over-confident, made only one in his half of the twentieth inning. Slosson seemed glad as he took his cue to play his half of the same, but he only made eight, and Schaefer opeued the twenty-first in ning with a brilliant round-the-lable shot. A niiscue ruined him a tcr he had made 13 points. Slosson could only make nr.e. Twenty-second innisc, "Schaefer 11; SIoson, 8. Score, Schaefer, 403; Slos son, 223. Betting three and four to one against Slosson. The little Wizard's excel lent playing seemed to have rattled him badly. Twenty-third inning, Schaefer, 1; Slosson, 0. Twenty-fourth, Jake began to cet 'em again, and fondled the ivories in his peculiarly graceful and all-arouiid-lhc-table-way until he had scored 73. Slosson made 4. Twcnty-fi;th inning, Schaefer, 9; Slosson, 8. Twenty-sixth, Schae er, 0; Slos son, 1. Twenty-seventh, Schaefer, 27; Slosson, 42. Twenty-eighth, Schaefer. 30: Slosson, 14. The score at the end of the twenty-ninth inning was: Schaefer, 513; Slosson, 324. LOST ALL HOPE. Thirtieth inning Schaefer, 44; Slosson, 0. The latter seemed to have lost hope. Thirty-first Schaefer, 0; Slosson, 0. In the thirty-second Schacfer again gave a wonderful exhibition of nursing the balls around the table. Bapidly he rolled the points up to 80, and it is hard to tell where he would have stopped when he was kissed ofl, and Slosson s.gain went to the table. He played the game for ail he knew how, but something seemed to be wrong with him, especially during the earlv part of the came. He had said that he never felt fitter to play billiards in his life and yet some of his errors would have shamed an amateur. Twenty five was the most he could score in his half of the thirty-second inning. From this on, Slosson made more billiards than the lean little man from Chicago, but itwas too late. There were two runs of 60 and one of 59, but Schacfer had too many already to the good and in the forty-first inning ran out the 800, leaving Slossorj at C09 noints. Averages Schafer, ' 19 21-41; Slosson. 14 2G-41. Time of game, three hours and thirty-fire minutes. Among those present were T. H. White, of Chicago, the former hacker of Slosson; John Dono van, of St. Louis. The players appeared in dress suits. Slosson carried his old 18 ounce cue, while Schaeler handled that with which he played Vignaux. How tho Experts Stand. In view of last night's contest between Schaefer and Slosson the following record rela tive to the times they have played against each other, previous o last night, will be of Interest: In tho 31 contests at various styles of games of billiards and in which these men have played together, Schaefer has won eight bait line games to Slossou's.flve; threegames of straight rail .to blusson's four; two games ot cushion champion's game (diagonal corner lines) tof Slosson's tour.

Of nine games at all styles played In Jue East, Schaefer has won three. Both men stand even in games non and lost in match contests, and of their tournament games Schaefer has won seven to Slosson's eight. BABIJIE AND WAGNEB. They Meet In Philadelphia and Talk Base ball Matters Over Philosophically. Philadelphia. Dec L Manager Barnie, of Baltimore, member of the committee ap poined at the recent Louisville meeting of the American Association to fix up the circuit for IbSL, was m this citv, and wa ciught in the corridor of the Continental Hotel. "Yes. I am on baseball business," said Manaccr Barnie, "aud it Is in connection with the American Association ciicuit. You see there is a new man in the field as applicant for the Philadelphia American Association fran chise, and I came up just to satisfy myself as to his star.dinjr. I und;it very satisfactory, indeed, in fact, he is a man who will make baseball solid." J. Earl Wagner takes a very philosophical view of the baseball situation, baid he: "Tiicre is just one man who can fix matters up, and his name is A. G. Spaldini. Just look at tho committee in whese hands the matter rests. The League men are A. G. Spalding. John B. lay and O. II. Byrne, while Allen W. Thur man, William Barnie and Chris Von der Abe represent the American Association. "That practically means bpaldinc with five votes, aim Von der Alie with one, for Day, Bvrne. Tim nil an and Baruie will all follow Spalding's lead. If Spalding says we Players' League people mil hare to give np ail our players,' give them up we will: while if he says, 'keep jour team- ju-t asthevarem order to make them better draulng attractions next year, ou bet your lite that jrocs, too. "The one thins that is certain is that salaries will come down. It is necessary to make a cut in order to keep baseball from flying a natural death. The ball players besin to recongnize it. Jocko Fields, of the Pittsburg club, got an eye opener over at the New York meeting. Fields cot SJ.500 last season, and he demanded S3.S0O for next car. 'Hanlon lud offered to compromise at 3,000, but Fields would not listen to it. He said he was worth as much as any ball player, and m ouldu't play ball unless he got it. "When the Pittsburc clubs were consoli dated, and J. Palmer O'Neill seemed to be the governing spirit. Fields strutted up and dowu the corridors of the hotel whistling the air. They're After Me, They're After Me." and finally button-holed O'Neill and said: 'Well, how about next season?' " 'Are you ready to signr said O'Neill. " 'Yessaid Fields. " 'Well, what do you want?' said O'Neill. ' 'Hanlon offered me S3.0C0, but 1 want $3,800,' said Fields. 'I will give you 51,200. said O'Neill. "Fields withdrew, much surprised." HOT DISSOLVED YET. The P. L. Stockholders Meet, but Adjourn to Meet Again To-Day. The stockholders of the local P. L. club met at the office of W. D. Potter yesterday after noon to wind up the affairs of the club.

The committee lately appointed to confer with the local N. L. club committee relative to consoli dation reported. Their report was unanimously adopted. A little hitch occurred regardingone or two items, tho details of which were not at hand, and that, it Is stated, caused the adjourn ment. Kezarding the debts of the club, Mr. Hanlon stated that they would be cleared bythe sale of stock. If this is trne. the club's dissolution will be effected with little trouble. There is a general desire to have the consolidation con summated as speedily andsmootbly as possible. If this done, the prospects of the new club will be very encouraging. THE ATHLETICS FEAHCEISE.

Barnie doesn't think that tho Athletic stockholders have much show. President Wagner, ot the Philadelphia (P.L.) club, talks very nopefnlly of his chances. He said: "There is just nne man who cm Ux mat ters no, and his name is A. G. Spalding." Pitcher "Kid'" Gleasnn signed a contract to play with the Philadelphia clnb next season. TO CONFER, WITH YOUNG.

L The Scale Com mittee of the United Hine Workers is still iu session, formulating their annual demands to tho operators. An advance is said'to be wanted for both coke drawing and mining, but the extent of the advance cannot be ascertained. Master Workman Kerfoot said to-day that their demands would be so just and equitable that a strike would not be necessary next IFebruary, the time for making the wage agreement for the ensuing year. He said that he looked for a peaceful adjustment of all wage difficulties, and a strike was only a remote possibility. Con tinuing, he said: "Both sides realize the gravity of the situa tion. A prolonged strike would be detri mental to both employer and employe. We are amply prepared lor a long strike, how ever, as the cokers were never iu such a thoroughly organized condition." The mine workers are once more waging a crusade against non-unionists, and, begin ning with to-day, all unorganized men will be charged an initiation fee of $5.

TELtGBAM TO THE DISFATCII.J West Newton, Dec L An important case, and one which involve!) John BIytbe & Co. and W. L. Scott, is now pending, and at present is in the bauds of six arbitrators. The cause of the trouble was thojattempt of the Bobbins Coal Company, which is operating tho Yough Valley mines at Guffey station, on the Balti more and Ohio, to open an air course across the main tunnel of the Bobbins station mines, ft Inch are operated by John Blythe i Co. Mr. Bobbins owns a right of way throngh the Blythe coal, by a well-defined line, but through tho inaccuracy of soma one. his men were put to work opening a coarse 100 feet from the specified line. On the night of November 1, Robblns' men broke throush into the Blythe mine, where the latter's men were awaiting them, and prepared to resist all attempts to go forward. Both parties numbered about 50, and an underground riot, with consequent bloodshed, was witn diffi culty prevented. The respective positions of the. men were held peaceably for nine days and nine nights, when Bobbins asked the Court to grant, a preliminary injuncti6h. restraining BIytbe & Co. from interfering with the open ins of tho air course. Blythe answered by showing that Bobbins was far off the line of bis right ot way. Tho right of way owned by Bobbins Is 16 feet by 2.032 feet through the coal of Blythe & Co. Messrs. Morebead and Head, and Messrs. Wcstling aud Miller represented Blythe & Co. before the court. Messrs Marchand and Gaither, and Senator E. Bobbins and A. L. Petty represented Bobbins & Co. At tho re quest of the counsel of both sides, and with the expectation of amicable adjustment, tbe Court withheld its decision, and a board of viewers was appointed. V. It Scott is also disputing wiih the West Newton Shaft Company over the lines of division betneen their respective mines here. DOUBT ABOUT THE BODY.
