HOPPE BREAKS
WORLD s RECORD
BOY WONDER MAKES HIGH RUN
OF 307
Defeats Jake" Sehaefer In Eiuht
Innings and Practically clnches
the Title to Champion
ship
BY Associated Press.


CHICAGO. May 1.-THE worlds high
run, 1S-inch balk. 2 inches, was broken
tonight by Willie Hoppe, who set the
new mark at 307. The former record
was held by Louis Cure, 255.
Hoppe made the record in his game
with Jacob Schaefer, whom he defeated
in eight innings.
Schaefer won the bank and made 12.
Hoppe retired with a cipher, ran A in
his next trial, then picked up 55. In
the fourth inning he got the balls to-
gether and his long run, which re-
suited in the breaking of the worlds
record for this style of billiards, was
begun.
Exhibited Great Confidence
He played especially fast and with
the utmost confidence. When he had
reached within a few points of Cures
record, Hoppe executed several diff
cult Shots which were unnecessary,
except that he could gain better po-
sition.
In one instance he had a compar-
atively easy carom, but instead of
choosing the easier billiard he went
to the cushion twice to count the shot.
The result was that he was left in
perfect position for his next shot.
During the record breaking run he
carried the balls around the table
three times. and after passing Cures
record succeeded in gathering in SO
more points, when he missed a rather
hard two-cushion shot by the smallest
fraction of an inch and sat down while
the audience applauded with vigor. AT
this point Schaefer had scored but 81
points.
First Place Looks Easy
Hoppe has won the three games he
has played, and the only way he can
lose first prize will be for him to lose
to Slosson tomorrow afternoon and for
Sutton to defeat Schaefer tomorrow
night, which would leave the Canadian
and the youngster tied for first, and
would necessitate an extra game be-
tween the two to decide the winner
of the tournament.
Sosson and Schaefer are tied for
third place, both having suffered two
defeats and winning one game each.
Cure has completed his play in the
tournament and finished in fifth place.
Hopes average tonight was 62 AS,
Schaefer's, "a Is.

The New Velvets.

Velvet will play a prominent part this
winter. 1t will be very serious rival to
cloth, whose success it will counterbalance.
Greatly will This material beloved above
all others, triumph, and it will be seen
everywhere. 1t must be said that velvet
presents itself this year under such a null
tiplfcity of new aspects, and all very charm
ing, that this alone suffices to explain its
vogue. Striped and figured velvets. which
we already know appear in new and very
attractive tints. such as snake gray" and
"'malvoisie." while China velvets come also
in new colors. squirrel fawn. duck blue and
titmouse blue Directoire green and wil6.
thyme green. AS for the "frisson' velvets
which date from last year, they have so
multiplied their colors that today one can
count 143 shades all different! Thus there
will be plenty to choose from.
So much for the velvets already in ex-
'pekin-velours." with very small stripes,
tone on tone. 1t is preferred in shades of
plum, paste gray, bronze and vieux rose.
We have also the '.velours moscovite :"
which is also known by the less poetic
name Of pied de poule." This is DUE
doubtless, to the fact that 1t reproduces the
irregular design which characterizes the
skin of hens legs. It is made in white
