New York, Dec. 12.-Cable advices from Paris
today say that the billiard contest between Maui
rice Vignaux and Willie Hoppe at 1S-fnch balk-
line, shot in balk, viii lbe played in Paris
Jan. Is. The last contest for the emblem was
between VignauX and George Sutton in Paris
last winter, the former winning after a close
and exciting contest
Great interest is shown by players this
side in the result of the game and the success
Of Hoppe would have very peculiar signif-
canoe in billiards. Not only would an American
have the only claim worlds championship
emblem (the 1872 balkline trophy having become
the personal property of Vignaux), but he would
be the youngest of players to hold a trophy under
similar conditions.
Hoppe would also be the only player who has
ever won a worlds championship without first
having shown form in tournaments among cham
pions. His standing would also be more mar
velous than that of Frank Napoleon Ives.
Jacob Schaefer, who has made Hoppe his pro.
tege, and who has played with all the leading
professionals says that In his games Hoppe has
shown championship form and will bring home
the trophy.
