CRACKS TO PLAY
BILLIARD MATCH
HOPPE AND M0RNINGSTAR TC
COME NEXT WEEK
MEET IN BALK LINE SERIES AT
800 POINTS
The World Champion and Forme
Title Holder Engaged by J. r.
Morley to Play in Los AM
gees for Two Nights

one week from tonight Willie Hoppe
and ora Morningstar will begin their
two nights play at 1S1 balk line at
Jim Morley's billiard parlors on South
Spring street, and the announcement
that these world experts will play mere
has stirred up an unusual interest
among local balk line billiardlstS. Nor
ley has gone to big expense in getting
this pair to play here, but believes he
is safe i'm making the investment, o"-
ing 10 the popularity of the match, as
expressed by the many billiard fans
who have heard the news.
They will play 500 points. half of this
number each night, and as balk line
is the most popular style of billiard
play of the day and the game is just
becoming popular here, these classy
experts are assured of a capacity house
each night. Hoppe defeated George
Sutton last week for the 1871 world
championship, doing it so easily that
he clearly proved his superiority at
this style Of game. Since then his
manager, Charles Tennes. has issued a
challenge to the world for any player
who wants to play a match game or
series for any side bet ranging from
$1,000 to $4,000.
Both players formerly were balk line
champions of the world Hoppe won
the title from Morningstar, and both
remained out of the tournament, at
which Calvin Demarest won the hon
ors. Hoppe defauted his title by stay
ing out Of the tournament and re-
fused to enter because of the condi-
tions of the affair. With such classy
pair playing here the balk line game
win become even more popular than
it is now. and billiards never was jim
such favor as al this time.

Gleason and Rickard Afraid They Are
Going to Make Too Much Money
and Have Decided to Be
Generous

SAN FRANCISCO. March 20.-Tex
Rickard tonight made an official state
ment about seat prices for the Jeffries-
johnson fght, which will range from
s. 10 $50, instead of from SO to 500.
The promoters have figured there will
be 10000 seats, ana striking an aver
age Of 500 a seat, if the card plays to
capacity, there will be over S65O, 900 in
the box Office. Had higher prices pre-
vailed it would have meant a million
and a half, and that was enough to
staggcr even Gleason.
There viii be no bleachcr seats.
Every scat viii be reserved, even the
s. ones There probably viii be 5000 Of
the lowest priced seats. although that
question is not fully determined. The
arena viii be constructed like a thea
ter, with each tier of seats three inches
above the lower one.
