HOPPE DEFEATS VIGNACX.
Young American Billiardlst Averages 40
in ISL Balk Line Contest.

Sp,tll Cloc D',pLc1 10 TIE Sun.
PARIS, Jan, l5,-Willie Hoppe. the youth
iu billiard expert from New York, tonight
defeated the veteran French player, Maui
rice Vignaux, at ls-inch balk line, one shot
in. The score was 500 to s23 in favor Of
Hoppe, whose victory gave him the cham
pionshp at this style of game. Vignaux
led at the half way point, but by a narrow
margin, and Hopes steady and brilliant
work was too much for the older player.
Hoppe went out in the twenty-fifth inning,
making an average Of 20.
The record average at 1871 balk line is
so'25, made by Frank lvcs in the tourna-
ment in this city in 1897, which was won
by George Slosson. The best single aver
age except Ives's in that tournament was
l5,45, made by Schaefer, and the best single
average in the 1874 tourney Of 1901 was
1919, made by Sutton. Therefore, it will
be seen that Hoppe's average last night
was an exceptionally big one.
