Denver, Colo., March 9. Jake Schaefer, "wizard of the cue," died here yesterday after a lingering illness. His fight against tuberculosis has been a gallant one and several times during the past few weeks he has been given tip only to rally again. His wife, daughter and brother Charles of Chicago were at his bedside when he died. - His body will be taken to Chicago for burial. Schaefer came here nearly two years ago in the hopes of making a stand against the disease, but has been slowly falling ever since. It was his hope that he would be able to re

enter the billiard game, which he had

ornamented for a score of years and

more, but his hope never was realized

Jacob Schaefer has been before the publlo as a billiard champion longer than , any man in the history of the game. Since he won his first emblem In 1879 he has been the champion at various times in his thirty-five years before the public at every style of game, with the exception of three-cushion billiards. He was successively master at straight rail. 14.2, 18.1 and 18.2, and his pioneering methods In displaying the possibilities of the rail nurse at caroms, at which he ran 3,000 points without a miss In a match at San Francisco twenty years ago, and his discovery of the "anchor nurse" , made necessary radical changes In the game. j For players of championship caliber caroms was abandoned altogether. -Then the eight-Inch balk line game was Introduced and solved by Schaefer so quickly that the lines were moved out to ten, then to twelve and finally, to foureen inches. Then Schaefer. discovered he "anchor nurse" and exploited Its possibilities under a master touch by defeating Frank Ives In a match game of 600 points in New Tork

In 1892. Apparently hopelessly beaten, Schaefer got the balls straddle the balk line froaen to the cushion and ended the match with an unprecedented run at the fourteen-lnch balk line game of 656. Thousands of dollars changed hands.

Then "anchor nurse" was barred.

Was WlUpe Hoppe of His Time.

Schaefer earned the sobriquet of "wizard of the cue." All modern students of billiards from the scientific standpoint agree that he was the most

versatile player who ever lived, not ex- o ceptlng Frank Ives, the "Napoleon of

Billiards." Ives was more brilliant at times, but had frequent attacks of nervousness which affected his play. Schae

fer on the other hand, was a steady,

consistent performer and always could be depended upon to give a good ac

count of himself. A' third of a century ago he was to that generation and day what Willie Hoppe, the "Boy Wonder," , is to the present age. I When Jake Schaefer entered the socalled three-ball French carom game

for the world's championship In 1879 he was little known, and naturally, encountered some opposition to his entry. He met the best players of his time, among them being Slosson, Daly, Sex

ton, Garnier, Dion. Canter and Rudolph. Schaefer beat each one of them in turn, and Cooper's ball was too small to hold the mass of. people who desired to witness the last night's play between Schaefer and Slosson. Great Uphill Fight by "AVixard." ' Slosson started off like- a house afire and before he was done the score stood 559 to 19 In his favor. To make a long story short, Schaefer ran out the game with a run of 296. Some people holding Slosson tickets went out of the hall

when the score was 559 to 19 in their

favor, but were greatly surprised when they went to get them cashed the next

morning to find that they had lost. 'Slosson was the only man who challenged Schaefer for the emblem won on this night. The game was played In McCormick's hall for 1,000 points. In this contest Jake established a new record, running the game out in three innings with 5, 690, 305. Slosson's score was 44. This ended the threeball straight rail, and Schaefer never from that time engaged In a game of that kind until me played McCleary In 1890, when he ran 3,000 points without a miss, which Is the greatest performance ever known.

SCRAP If GARY

Laporte, Ind., March 9. Charley Parnell, the 15-year-old prize fighter, extends through the Argus-Bulletin a challenge to the world. Charley offers to exchange courtesies with anyone at 98 pounds, age, height and other features being immaterial.

It Is quite natural that Charley

should put his challenge In the ArgusBulletin' He has a very high opinion

of the circulation of this newspaper,

which opinion we ehall aim to Justify, "'It'll be copied in the Gary paper,

won't It ?" asked Charley, "and that's where I 'want to fight. I can get a curse of $50. If it wasn't for Con

stable Walker, we could pull a fight

off In this burg."

TIGER JOB WORTH $7,000 TO TRAINER Ann Arbor. Mich.. March 9. The story of how Keene Fltzpatrlck happened to accept Princeton's offer as trainer has Just leaked out." "It's this way," said Fltzpatrlck. "They wrote me and asked me what salary rd come there for. Other years they had made their own price, and I thought I stop

ped all negotiations by putting the figure up to $7,000 a year. I've had a let

ter from Princeton and they have accepted my terms, so I guess that's what

I'll get."

Sacramento, Cal., March 9. Battered scarred, marred and general Incapacitated as they were, what remained of those stalwart athletes comprising' the White Sox administered a good spanking to the native sons' baseball players here yesterday, landing on the "upper side of the heavy score of 8 to 2. As compared with the last contests yesterday's lineup of " Comiskey's warriors looked like the other side of an election ballot, but the boys traveled a good gait, nevertheless, and form players were slightly .disgruntled at the outcome. - - . ... The lineup was, in the common varnacular, patched up, but the new patches covered the old ones in such a bewildering manner that today's appearance left little semblance of the jaunty crowd .that sallied forth from Chicago nearly two weeks ago with light hearts and heavy clothing. Messenger was too sick with a cold to do ny work and Bill Lange was ordered to protect the left field outpost from possible attacks by the en

New Orleans, March 9. More of the old-time bunting, base running, pitching and high low calisthenics enlivened the bill yesterday for those overweighted Cubs, and for three tropical hours Pelican park contained thirty

mighty energetic athletes. At 1:30, when Chance called a halt, the job hunters fairly steamed In perspiration. Then he turned them scot free to study the points of interest until yanked out again today for a renewal of hostilities with the local Southern Leaguers. Continued perfect weather was on the decks today, and if the elements don't rise up and smite the community the city champions should round into grand condition during the remainder of the stay here. The temperature hovered between 80 and 85 degrees throughout the service, but a little thing like sunshine 'sn't going to bother the maker of pennant winners. Once when a half dozen groggy players fled to the bench for a brief respite the keen-eyed "Husk" found language such as flows only from the managerial lips. That line of chatter had barely started before the rest seekers were back on the diamond toiling with might and main.

FIGURE FIEND'S QUEER WORK Detroit, March 9, It has been figured that approximately 337.000 balls will be rolled down the Wayne Garden alleys during the nineteen days of the tenth annual tournament of the American Bowling Congress, and that something like 3,500,000 pins will be knocked down. If each bowler puts fifty pounds of push behind each ball there will be 16,850,000 pounds of pressure exert

ed in knocking the pins over for

glory. As the pin boys are forced to stoop each time a ball Is rolled, they will be required to bend more than 300,000 times. If the 337,000 bowling balls shot In the tournament were piled on above the other the pile would be about forty-seven miles high. Practically 2,000 bowlers will atten the tournament and more than $150,000 will be spent by them.
