Healy Rolls
High Score

DETROIT, Mich, March 17.-Tom
Healey of Detroit was the sensation of
the closing day of the tenth annual
tournament of the American Bowling
congress, when he rolled the remark
able score of 705 in the individual
event, winning that event and setting
a new tournament record. He also
won the prize for the best total for
nine games with 1862, which is an
other new American bowling congress
record.
Healey's great series came in the
afternoon after practically every one
had become reconciled to the almost
certain victory of William Richter of
Chicago with 692. He opened with 236
and the crowd went wild when he
hung up 26S for his second-a total of
504 for two games. He needed 1S9
to win, and made assurance doubly
sure with 201, giving him lead of
13 pins over Richter.
The former American Bowling con-
gress record in the singles was 500,
which was made by Archie Wengler
of Chicago at Cincinnati in 1908. The
former high mark for nine games was
1924, made by R. Cradle of East Liv
erpool, Ohio, in 1908.

Hoppe had Easy Victory
Over Sutton Last Night

CHICAGO March 17.-Willie Hoppe
last night easily won the 1871
ba k line billiard championship of the
world by defeating George Sutton of
Chicago, the final score being Hoppe
500, Sutton 22S.
Hopes average was 16 2O-30 and
Sutton's 1926.
According to the terms of the match,
which were named by Hoppe as chal-
lenger, the victor carried off the dia-
mond emblem, the stake money
amounting to $500 and the entire box
Office receipts.
Sutton regained the title from GeOr Sc
Slosson at New York June 2, 1909, af-
ter losing it to Slosson January IS,
1909.
Edward H. Sample of Minneapolis
referred the contest.
Hoppe won the bank and missed the
opening shot. He left 'set up and
Sutton collected 20 at his first trial
For the next six innings Sutton
aged a strong, consistent game, keep
ing his average close to Is, while
Hoppe was unable to bring the balls
under control. He was compelled to
make the majority of his billiards at
long range. In the seventh, Hoppe
brought together 20 by a succession
of difficult masse and round the ia
ble,' shots.
Sutton made a couple of goose
eggs in the ninth and tenth, while
Hoppe ran up 81 in his ninth at
tempt. In his 18th, Hoppe took the
lead with a run of 80. Score at the
end of the 18th: Hoppe LA; Sutton
135. From the 18th inning on Hoppe
gradually increased his lead and when
the 22nd was ended he was 131 points
ahead, the total being: Hoppe 1926;
Sutton 1876
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1910-03-17

Sutton apparently lost both his
stroke and judgment of distance, miss
ing several easy draw shots and one
cushion caromS. Hopes game, on
the other hand, improved as the game
went on.
After the 18th inning the game was
a one sided contest, Sutton being un
able to score in double figures with
exception Of his 10Th, 29th and 23rd
innings.
Hoppe Gains Confidence
Hoppe appeared to gain confidence
after he passed his rival and played
a strong game at all times, rolling
UP runs of 81 and 81.
In the first six innings the young
player could not get his stroke and
his opponent left the bal s in diff
cult positions. In the seventh inning
he collected 29 and after that he never
failed to score, while Sutton made
numerous blanks.
When Hoppe came up for his 9th
inning he NEEDED sc to go out. He made
Al and left all three balls lined up
against the end rail-, apparently an
impossible shot. He banked the length
of the table making the shot in fine
style and leaving an easy draw which
he missed. He made one in his 2Sth,
leaving 20 to go. After making Is in
the 10Th he missed an easy one cush-
ion caron1. Sutton scored three and
then Hoppe went out.

Bat Nelson, Fighter,
PugiIistic Corpse
Nelson Was Popular.

Nelson appealed to popular magma
ton. He couldn't box, he had no foot
work, he had not learned to 60 start
ling press agent stunts-he was a
tough, honest little fighter, who never
backed away from his work. With the
first of the big money Bat earned he
paid off the mortgage on the little
home in Hegewisch, and notified his
dad that it was time for him to retire.
Many a man of better education and
more opportunities in youth hasn't as
sayed as much pure gold as Nelson,
and when money came his way he did
not toss it away on the sports and
the good fellows and the bright light
sycophants. The who Nelson family
was declared in on Bats prosperity.
In 1905 he removed Jimmy Britt from
the championship way. The rest of h's
record is ring history. T.r, de~eat at
Goldfield, the beefsteak fight with Britt
and the determined uphill fight which
wound up with Nelson the lightweight
champion of the world-these things
are known to every sporting man in
the country.

it was all over with him when he

amazed the talent by putting away
the Old Master and making clear his
title to the lightweight championship.
The wagon was ready for him when
he fought Cans the third time. Cans

One thing is sure. Nelson was al

sometimes cleanly.
