Hoppe gave his exhibition at Kinder's pool and bil- Hard parlors in Broad street, his op- ponent being William Ricketts of this city. Ricketts is easily the best thing hereabouts in the art of billiards, but he is far from Hopes class. With due regards to Ricketts let it be said that he made a splendid showing.
 Skill and experience told in the work of Hoppe. He was constantly "nurs- ing" the balls. seemingly getting out Of almost impossible places.
 In the afternoons contest Hoppe ran off 800 balls to Ricketts, 133. Hopes biggest run was S7, while he also made another of 30. Ricketts, highest was F. In the evening Ricketts did much better, rolling off 235 to Hopes 800. Hoppe excelled his afternoons high Ricketts, best was A.
 Both contests brought out big gall lery, especially the evenings, when many prominent billiard players among the social clubs of the city were pres ent

The fans can not forget the season, a few years back. when George Cunningham and Diclkie Pierce brought the champion ship to Bridgeport. Simmons was the owner of that club. Again the following year, when Simmons saw he could not land another pennant with his team, he went west and stole . whole club from the Western league. bringing that bunch to this oity. Those were the happy days at the armory and the Rosedale rink when the Teddy Bears were cleaning up everything. Then the game died out. the players going into Massachu- sets. New Haven, Hartford and

 Since then polo has had it's revival in both New Haven and Hartford, league having clubs in those two
 cities, both of them making good and drawing the crowds. It stands to reason that there would be the same effects in Bridgeport. Bridgeport un- der proper conditions is a fine polo city and would make a strong mem Der of any league. With Hartford and New Haven as rivals, there ought to be some hot times. Its a cinch that a team here would boom the game much better in those two cities. There is nothing like neighboring

rivals to bring out the crowds.
 At the present time there is no opening in the National league, but there are rumors of some of the clubs going to the wall. Especially is this true of the Worcester club, which is now holding down the last position in the league. The owners of that fran chise are just pulling through. There is no doubt that if the franchise was shifted to this city there would be money in it for the managers, as Bridgeport at the present time is just ripe for the game.
 But going back to Sam Simmons. Simmons took a little jaunt out to the Park City rink in State street and it is understood that he can have that surface for polo if he can get the team. With polo at the Park City rink the game in this city ought to boom more so than it ever did. make the best surface in the state, and would hold a large if not larger crowds than the armory. and much larger crowds than the Rosedale rink
