SUTTON ADMITS HOPPE is
GREAT BILLIARD PLAYER
Champion Expects Youngster to Put
Up Hard Contest When They Meet
for Title-Extreme Confidence
Shown BY Sutton.

Confidence. In that one word YOU
can explain the phenomenal success
of George sutton, champion 1871 balk
line billiard player of the world, the
originator of system and the creator OF
shots, some seemingly impossible. on
the billiard table. Confidence has been
the greatest asset of the present hold
err of the 49, title and the former hold
er of the 1872 balk line title.
For twenty years George Sutton
has been prominent figure i'm the
billiard world, not only I'm the United
States. but in France, where the acme
of billiarddom has been reached. So
pronounced has been his success with
the cue that he is one of the few who
has reached the goal Of all billiard
players-that of holding the worlds
record at both styles of the balk line
game. the 1871 and the 1872 simutan-
eously.
So thoroughly imbued with his abil-
ity is Sutton that the confidence has
become his most predominating trait.
Undeniably 1t is a greater asset than
is his skill with the ball and the cue.
Sutton admits he is the greatest bill
lard player that ever lived He also
admits that he is the greatest student
of the game. He does not forget Jake
Schaefer, Frank Ives, Maurice Vignaux
nor Willie Hoppe. He gives due credit
to all of them for what they have
done I'm the game. But on them all
he has little something. That little
something, he says, is enough to give
an edge, which has resulted in worlds
championships.
He relies on the coming match with
Hoppe to show him where he stands.
But, If nerve counts for anything.
Sutton will be a factor for years to
come. Nothing save physical weak
ness will ever be able to lower the
colors of one of the greatest billiard
players that ever picked up a cue.
''Who is the greatest billiard player
in the world, barring yourself?" he
was asked.
Hoppe" was his quick reply. "That
boy has everything that successful
DilhdIu pldytT HeeuS-yOutn, unuueS-
tionable nerve, a magnificent physique.
good habits and skill with the cue
that is little short of marvellous. What
more should anyone need?
Hoppe is the logical man to hold
the championships and he is the one
who will hold them. There are none
in the world who have anything on
that boy. In few years there will be
none in his class. At present the play
ers of first rank are few. In this
country Hoppe and myself constitute
the first fight In time, Demarest, the
holder of the 1872 title. may reach the
goal, but he has much hard work be-
fore him. He is an unfinished play
er. and it will take years to perfect his
game"
Sutton says billiards have improv-
ed 100 per cent in the last twenty
years not so much in the development
of the game as i'm the interest shown.
The best evidence that billiards is be-
coming the popular indoor pastime. he
thinks, is the activity shown in it by
women, among whom there are today
many experts.

is no doubt that he earned IL and that

The first "a men who drew on the
gloves against the little fellow from
California went to sleep or quit, and
among them was Eddie Hanlon. who
afterward became famous as the
toughest lightweight i'm America.
He Met Dixon.
Eight years ago he met George
Dixon, and fought him 15-round draw
and then came Buddy Ryan, who, af-
ter the bout, grew so big he attempt
ed to take the welterweight crown. At
tell met Harry Forbes. then a Boston
boss, and after Is rounds he secured
an even break.
Terry McGovern could no longer
make the featherweight limit and he
turned the title over to Danny Dough-
erty his pal, who lost it to Forbes and
Attell promptly knocked out Forbes
and won the title. This was in 1904

Attell demonstrated what wonder |

Once i'm all his ring career he has
been Knocked out, then by Brooklyn

Two years later Sullivan, realizing
what he had lost by not following up
his knockout of Attell by a claim for
the featherweight title. met Attell in

took another chance with the man

His ring career consists of over a
hundred battles. Abe cannot tell
himself for he admits he had a few
bouts which are not on the books. IT

MRS. D. J. sULLY IN COURT.

Cotton Broker

Mrs. Emma F, Sully. wife of Daniel J
Sully, the former Cotton King was the
defendant in the Supreme Court yesterday
in an action brought by Tiffany & Co to
recover about IS 600 for goods bought.
Sully. who a witness. testified that
he informed Tiffany & Co. that he did not
want two accounts with the company in his

adversaries in the cotton market we're try
ing to force him to the wall he arranged
to put up $4,000 worth of securities with
Tiffany & Co. a pledge for his indebted
ness to them He stipulate ted that he might
withdraw the securities within two years

BAD FOR THE CITY
Continued from frst page.

Continued from first page
1t; the present Controller might, II he
wished to, continue to do the same. But
just so long as 1t is played with 1t will
be necessary to issue revenue bonds each
year against uncolectible taxes and use
money obtained from the sale of cor
porate stock for permanent improve
ments to keep the temporary debt float
ing. AS long as this condition continues
It will be impossible by any system to
arrive at a correct balance of the city's
accounts.
There never has been a better time
at which to take this question up and
deal with it effectually. The adoption
of the constitutional amendment by the
Legislature exempting subway bonds
from being considered in arriving at the
borrowing margin will give the present
administration a credit of about $40
100000 more than it now has The en-
forcement of the collection ,f arrears of
special franchise taxes should bring in
about SoO,OOO.OOO more. In addition. the
natural increase in assessed valuations
this year will contribute further credit
CONDITION HOPEFUL
THE situation, so far from being hope
less. is really hopeful. if the present Con-
troller rises to his opportunity and is
brave enough to squarely face the issue
which his predecessor lodged. The prac-
ttce of little economy in the expendi-
ture of money upon permanent improve
ments might be necessary for a year or
two, but it would not be necessary to
delay or abandon the carrying out of
any absolutely necessary public works
The result would be an increased con-
fidence in city securities which would
enable the administration to dispose Of
its corporate stock bonds upon a 4 per
cent basis at a comfortable premium
over par. With that much accomplished.

ent Controller in the conduct of the

Can Hare No Sentiments.

II submit that 1t is impossible for an ar
ttficial body corporate to have any
opinion sentiment or other feeling de-
pendent upon the functions of a heart and
a brain; for If a corporation has no soul it
cannot have heart
This was the knotty problem put UP to
Judge O'Sullivan yesterday in the Court
of General Sessions by Marshall B. Clarke.
a former Assistant District Attorney. Judge
O'Sullivan adjourned court without decid-
ing Mr.. Clarkes motion to dismiss the in
dictment against Edward ". Stewart. on
trial for forgery in the third degree.
Stewart charged with having
written a letter of recommendation for
himself, signing the name of F. Mohr &
Co, furniture dealers. of No. A. West
34th street on the strength of which he
succeeded in opening an account with the
34th street branch of the Nineteenth Ward
Bank.
This indictment is based on the section
of the new penal laws which refers to

purporting to bear the signature of any
other person. misrepresenting the senti
ments or opinions the second person.
Nothing is said about misrepresenting the
opinions or sentiments of a corporation.
You cannot commit the crime of
ssut or manslaughter murder upon A
corporation. and I submit that You cannot
nlisrepresent the opinions or sentiments of

ton might have sentiments or opinions,
then it would be necessary for the prose
cution to summon all the officers directors
and others making up the corpora ton 10
testify concerning their sentiments and
opinions regarding the defendant before
jury could decide if such sentiments or
opinions had been misrepresented
II hardly think the court can entertain
your motion as presented said Judge
O Sullivan in ordering adjournment untiI
this morning but there may be other
cogent reasons for considering dismissing
the Indictment
