+ The first move will be made as quick
ly as possible. This will be the hold
ing of a championship tourney, with
rules according to the ideas of the
noted billiard stars and not according
to the dictates of a manufacturer. 1t
is proposed to force Willie Hoppe to
play or forfeit his championship. He
will be told the rules and must either
play or relinquish his claim. Maurice
Vignaux, the Frenchman, and % favor

to come over and play for the worlds

will not be brought about without a
serious fight against those who have
held undisputed sway for years over
the green cloth pastime.
The owners of the rooms, who take
all of the chances in the game, believe
they are getting the smallest end of
the profits a%ccruing. In the first place,
the owner of a billiard parlor has to
pay what he terms enormous prices
for his tables and sundries. The out
put has practically been in the hands
Of one concern, inc the owner has to
pay a given price. or face the charges
OF having inferior goods in his place.
Another phase that does not appeal to
the keeper of q room is the fact that
the star billiard pros-Willie Hoppe,
Calvin Demarest, Albert Cutler and
others-WhO play exhibition matches
in the various rooms, hame a habit of
demanding and getting large sums for
their appearance. The public which
likes good billiards wants to see these
men in action and the keepers
have to stand for the exorbitant de-
mands. Between h manufacturer
and the billiard star, claim the keep
ers, they are shorn of much profit.
A brief outline Of the plan proposed
for adoption was obtained recently. II
is planned to organize for the purpose
of bringing down both the manufac-
turer and the exhibition player from,
the present steep prices. to maintain
a blacklist of known sharpers at the
game, who infest the halls looking for
the easy marks who want a little
friendly game; to run the various
championships according to common
sense rules. and last. but not east to
operate a circuit lasting eight months,
in which the stars will be given a reg
ular tour to play at a mutually agree
able price. This circuit will be mapped
out exactly as in vaudeville, and will
take in all the towns in the country
where the billiard game is at all APP
preciated. In this manner the keep
! ers hope not only to set the stars at a
reasonable figure and boon billiards
all over the country. but trey viii
