Billiards

Back from Belgium to the U. S. rolled the world's 18.2 balkline billiard championship. Jake Schaefer of Chicago, champion before and son-of-a-champion, beat Welker Cochran of Hollywood in the deciding match, 400 to 328. Both finalists had first to defeat Kinrey Matsuyama, adroit "Japanese Molecule" (TIME, Feb. 18). Several players beat 1928 Champion Edward Horemans.
