TEN Just what that system is he has
not explained yet.
Hoppe and Demarest are still boys.
The former is in his twenty second
year. and Demarest is only a few
months older Hoppe is a veteran in
experience. but he is still developing
his skill. Demarest has been playing
only a few years. and he, too. is max

Of these two young men in a champion
ship match would therefore appeal to
all sport lovers.
Hoppe quit organized" billiards be-
fore Demarest turned professional, and
therefore they never have met in a
tournament or title match. Two years
ago. when Hoppe was preparing for the
1872 tournament in Chicago-which. by
the way. he won, establishing a high
run record-Demarest was regarded as
the best amateur in the country. They
played a handicap match, which lasted
several nights, Hoppe playing 1872

that they have not been in competition.

True, there were many of the folks who had to stay here and attend the ice cream festival at Father Connolly's; nevertheless, those who journeyed to Flagstaff enjoyed themselves to the extreme limit and came home with praise for the hospitality of the "Skylight' town.
