CLUMSY BILLIARD
PLAYER ADVANCED
Remarkable Rise of Calvin
DemareSt.
CLASS HIM WITH HOPPE
Chicago Critics Expect Him to Prove
a Second Boy WondeT-Began
Two Years Ago.

CHICAGO, Jan. 15,-Since the death Of
Frank Ives there has never been an
American billiard player who could take
equal rank with Wizard Jake Schaef-
er when II came 10 real champions alp
billiards. The rapid development OF
Willie Hoppe indicates that he viii sue
coed 10 the crown still worn by schaef-
er. but, aside from Hoppe. there has
been no youth of championship caliber
developed in the last decade.
a rival To Hoppe has now appeared in
this city. In Calvin Demarest, a youth
ful expert. experienced cue wielders be.
lieve they are bringing TO the front a
hoy who will soon be able to- class with
Schaefer and Hoppe. He is a youngster
not yet out OF his teens. but he has de.
feated the best amateurs OF Chicago
and is still improving.
Began Two Years Ago.
Demarest was unaware of his ability
until he went through a course of in,
struction. Less than two years ago he
could not handle a cue. He first at
tracted attention by his awkwardness
at the table. lie began 10 haunt a Chi
cagO billiard room, and was taken in
hand by Lanson w Perkins. a billiard
instructor.
He gave the most awful exhibition
ever saw" said Perkins In telling
of the inc,4ent. He had not the slight
est idea of how 10 hold a cue, but he
was so earnest I gave him lessons at
his own terms. He soon began 10 i'm
prove at a great rate.
Then Mussey arranged straight
rail tournament for nine OF my best
pupils and Demarest went into it. He
won all OF the prizes. His average was
six and his grand average AZ He made
a high run Of "a. He never lost game.
That was seven months ago. Then for
a time / had to stop him from playing
for he was learning the game too rap.
idly and was developing some bad
points. One of these-too much driving
he still shows traces OF.
Defeated Conklin.
1.-THE most remarkable thing about
the boy Is the fact that from that tour
nament he Immediately jumped into
class A, with the champion Of America.
Conklin, as an opponent The straight
rail tournament was decided about
seven months ago. and two months ago
he had two matches with Conklin as a
tryOut and lost both OF them. Conklin
played him 100 10 loo. and the boy
averaged around 8, Then he got into the
handicap that was decided a short time
ago and was scratch at 800 points with
COnklin. In this tournament he did not
lose a game, beating COnklin in a hard
game and closing with an average OF
one inning worse than 10 This is truly
remarkable and VIII entitle the boy 10
consideration with the best of them
In seven innings Of a recent balk line
practice match ne scored 335 points
The innings We're not consecutive but

match This shows an average of close

game with an average a trife short

capable OF.

Much interest IS manifest in Paris over
the international billiard match, set for
Monday, between Vlgnaux. the veteran
French expert with the cue, who was
worlds champion before his opponent
the young American, Willie Hoppe. was
born. II Hoppe can hold his nerve and
play the game In the match as he has
been playing IL IN the academies he
stands at least an even chance of taking
the worlds championship back TO the
United States. He has been playing a
better game than Vignaux. If he should
be beaten there will be time for econ
omizing among the Americans in the
French capital, for they are backing
their cOmpatriot almost TO man, and
generally at evens.
