tators. His playing was the more spec
tacular. as he divided his work between
nursing and round-the- table shots. Al
each of these he excelled and his position
playing was marvellous. In the last two
innings he was the least bit careless and
on two occasions missed rather easy
shots.
Sutton was out of form. During the
early part of the match he seemed UNI
able to make apparently easy shots ana
toward the end displayed his first signs
of nervousness. When he missed an easy
shot in the seventeenth inning he lost con-
troll of his temper for an instant ana
started his cue toward the floor with
bang. but before the butt struck the car
pet he had deadened its force and 1t made
little noise. From then until the end he
was visibly nervous.
Sutton Displeased With Himself.
While the local youth was clicking off
points and rapidly forging toward the
800 mark Sutton became restless and
fidgety and his foot swung like trip
hammer. Several times when he missed
apparently easy shots he became dis
gusted and frowned and muttered to him
self.
Sutton won the bank. and after choos-
ing the white ball missed the opening
shot by wide margin. Hoppe did little
better and scored a single carom. Both
men were keyed up to a high pitch and
showed signs of slight nervousness. The
table was very fast and the balls ran
truly but neither seemed able to play
up to the form he had displayed in recent
practice.
After the Chicagoan had scored one
carom in the second inning Hoppe
steadied himself and counted 30. Sutton
made his first double figure in the sew
enth inning. when he clicked off -. He
followed this up in the ninth inning with
a run of 2s. decreasing his opponents
lead to three: but when the Gothamite
took his half of the inning he remained on
his feet until he had rolled up the high
run of 90 From then on the result was
never in doubt.
Three innings later Hoppe scored 36
points more, and followed this In the next
with run of SO. In seven of the next
eleven innings he made double figures.

fourth inning with an unfinished run of ,.

BIG OFFER FOR CANS.
Jim Jeffries Makes It to Get Him to
Fight Boer Unholz.

PHILADELPHIA. March 2S-That
Champion James j. Jeffries wants Joe
Cans and wants him badly for the open
ing of his new club is evidenced by the
following telegram received here last
night:
los ANGELES. Cal. darch 81.
"Offer Joe Cans 60 per cent for twenty
round fight with Unholz before my new
club in fleet week, April %.
JAMES J. JEFFRIES."
1t is not clear now how Cans can afford
to turn down such a sweet proposition as
this. On the terms offered-60 per cent
of the gross. according to the wording of
the telegram-he should gather in the
neighborhood of $4,000 at least as his
share of the loot, which is pretty soft
money. even for the old master.
Unholz, who became suddenly famous
on very slight performance, has all to
gain and little to lose by meeting Cans,
and will doubtless be satisfied to take a
very small percentage of the receipts just
for the purpose of getting on with the
champion.
