ty OF the Willie Hoppe-George Sutton
ISL championship match falling
through, as Hoppe contemplates a trip
to Amsterdam, where it is said he has
been engaged to play in a billiard acad-
envy run on the same lines as those in
Paris.
sutton, who makes Chicago his home
when not hOpscotching around the
country playing matches or giving ex-
hibitions. received a letter from Hoppe,
stating he would much prefer to decide
the ISL championship match at Ans
terdam. and that if he (sutton) would
not play him in that country he would
forfeit the championship title.
He also stated he had secured a
good financial offer to, play in an acad-
envy in that far-eff country and in
ferred that it was money and not glory
that he was after. ss5
Sutton, when seen vest erday, said he
would insist on Hoppe deciding the
question Of the 1S1 superiority in this
country, and that he hoped to induce
Willie to remain in America long
enough to play the match.
