BOY EXPERT WINS
BILLIARD PRIZE
HOPPE FINISHES WITH
OUT DEFEAT
Sutton and schaefer End Tournament
With Sensational Game in Which
Former Won After Opponent
Had Secured Big Lead
BY Associated Press.


CHICAGO. May 12.-willie Hoppe,
the boy billiard expert, won the first
prize in the professional billiard tourna-
ment which was finished tonight in
Orchestra hall. Hoppe went through
his four games without a single defeat
George Sutton, the Canadian cham
pion, captured second place. having
three victories to his credit and one de-
feat. The other three players, George
Slosson, who won the championship in
the recent tournament in New York:
Louis Cure. the French champion, and
Jake Schaefer, finished with a triple
tie. each player having won one game
and lost three. The three players will
get an equal division of the third and
fourth money.
Although finishing in second place,
Sutton scored the highest total average
for the tournament, 30 1913 Hoppe,
who broke the worlds record for high
run at 1S-inch billiards two-inch balk
in his game with Schaefer last night,
had the second best grand average,
27 66-72.
After rather listless game this
afternoon between Hoppe and Slosson,
which the youngster won, the tourna-
ment wound up tonight with one of the
most sensational matches of the entire
series The contestants were Sutton
and Schaefer, and Sutton won within
seven innings by the score of 800 to 49,
In the fifth inning Schaefer just
lacked three points of being fifty ahead
of his opponent. He had completed the
period with a run of 104 and looked
at that time to be the winner of the
match.
Sutton scored ten in his fifth trial
and Schaefer followed with a cipher.
The Canadian then ran 236 points of as
pretty billiards as were ever seen. His
237th shot was a difficult masse which
he missed by a fraction of an inch.
This big run put him nearly 200 points
ahead of Schaefer who got four and
missed. and that. was his last chance
as Sutton came back with a run of 172
and finished the game. Sutton's aver
age was II 81; Schaefers 20 3d.

Saints Score First

Occidental was first to bat and re-
tired in one, two three order
Snodgrass started things going for the
Saints during the first inning and con-
nected with the two bags. The drive
smashed the top of the centerfeld fence
and bounded back into the field, as the
crowd was looking for a home run
Louie Lamar was the next man up and
after taking two strikes drove liner
to right which scored Snodgrass. Shaef-
fer forced Lamar at second. The former
stole but the run-getting was over
when Cunningham struck out and Tally
went to the bench, along the Merrill
route.
The Highlands were unable to do any
thing in the second and watched the
Saints add another run during their
time at bat.
GrindelI slammed a three-bagger over
Spaulding's head in center. Spaulding
outer gardens. McCann dropped one in
front of the rubber. Grindell beat
Thacker's choice to the plate
The prettiest bit of fielding to occur
during the game happened in the fourth
when Shaeffer stabbed a hot one that
had bounded off Phillips mot, mailing
the Highland runner first.
The last run secured by the Saints
was also tailed in the fourth. Tally
reached first and went second on a wild
pitch of Thacker's.. Campbell sacrificed
and Grindell scored on a fielder's choice
as B. Merrill whirled McCann's ground
er to the plate a second late.
In the fifth AL Merrill walked and
went second on b. Berill's sacrifice.
With Irwin at the plate and Merrill
playing wide on the keystone sack
Snodgrass shot swift one to Mccain
that destroyed hopes of an Occidental
score, Merrill being caught off the bag.
The Highlanders secured their tally
in the sixth on a walk, two errors and a
fielder's choice. Burd trotted away on
four wild ones. Ross dropped a bunt
in front of Phillips that the latterifum
bled sufficiently long for Burd to reach
second and Ross first.
Again did the Occidentals attempt the
hit and run game with disastrous re-
suits to the Vincentions. Phillips was
unable to handle the ball and the bases
were filled. Thatcher sent a swift one
TO Campbell at first which the latter
stabbed with one hand, covering first
and allowing Bird to score. The next
men were easy outs.
Bird in left field for the IIighlande ers
distinguished himself I'm the seventh by
bulling down Shaeffers long fly close
TO the bleachers.
The run getting was ended and for the
remainder Of the game the teams ca :

hibition of sharp fielding.

overawing the fomenters of trouble.
A number OF members of the lower
house have drafted interpretations
calling attention to the Bialystok af-
fair, expressing the fear that 1t is the
beginning of a widespread attack on
the Jews and demanding to know who
is responsible for the stirring up of
race and religious strife and in general
what measures are being taken to pre-
vent the destruction of lives and prop
erty of Jews throughout the empire.
