New York last night won the 1871 balk line
billiard championship OF the world by de-
feating George sutton Of Chicago, the final

the stake money amounting to $500, and the
entire box office receipts. Edward II. Sem
pie Of Minneapolis refereed the contest.
Hoppe won the bank and missed the
opening shot. He left a ''setup" and SUIT
ton collected 20 at the first trial.
For the next six innings Sutton played a
strong, consistent game, keeping his aver
age close TO rs, while Hoppe was unable to
bring the balls under control. He was COM
PEELED to make the majority of his billiards
at long range. In the seventh, however,
Hoppe brought together % in a succession
OF difficult masse and 'rUund-the-table
shots.
sutton made a couple of goose eggs" in
the ninth and tenth, while Hoppe ran up
81 In his ninth attempt.
In his twelfth, Hoppe took the lead, with
a run OF 80, the score at the end of the
twelfth standing; Hoppe, l4i sutton. 1886.

Sutton apparently lost both his stroke
ana judgment Of distance, missing several
easy draw shots and one-cushion caroms.
Hopes game, on the other hand, improved
and he drove the ball around the table, ex-
eoOted hard masss shots and played bank
shots with precision.
