These were the four plays for which
Dinneen was forced to take a severe roast

NEW YORK, April 12.-Wiiie Hoppe
the 1872 balkline billiard champion, sue.
cessfully defended his title by defeating
Calvin w. Demarest of Chicago last
night 800 to 40 before an enthusiastic
assemblage in the ballroom of the Hotel
Astor
Although the champion won, it was
only after a. hard struggle. and for a
time it appeared as though the title was
about to change hands.
After poor start Demarest took the
lead and later held his formidable rival
even until the thirty-third inning, when
Hoppe came within three points of win
ming out, The rest was easy.
Demarests open style of play pleased
the spectators more than the careful
nursing of the champion.
The westerner made the high run of
the evening with 9S. but lost out on
total average II 1875 to IL 1917.
After the match Demarest said that he
was we'll pleased with his show ing and
that he would have beaten Hoppe had it
not been for the three fouls charged
against him by referee Cutler.
Among the billiard stars who watched
the match were Slosson, DAILY, Kline,
Hoppe started off with a count of >,
while Demarest missed his opening shot.
In the second inning the champion got
the ivOrieS together and ram up a tOIal
of "a. which he repeated in the third,
giving him a lead of 62 to 20
The Chicago man warmed up in the
fifth and sixth, when, with a brilliantly
played ~ and 40, he went ahead of Hoppe,
116 to 93. Unlike the champion, the west
erner played the more open game and
took greater chances Low scores were

bringing him to within points of the
score
1t was Hopes turn to take the lead fol-
lowing his advantage with IA, 81 and
81, while Demarest was evidently in
trouble.
With the total 321 to 219 against him,
Demarest in the twenty-second inning
showed a clever series of plays up and
down the table, making 9S before missing
a performance which landed him within
4 of Hopes figures.
In the twenty-seventh session of the
series the two aspirants for championship
honors were tied with 3S4 points each,
thanks to another nigh run of 81 by DEM
Arrest.
The strain of the even contest apparent
ly affected both players, as each fell
down on comparatively easy shots until
the claimant for the title ran up AZ in
the thirty-first inning only to be followed
by Hopes Al Immediately afterward,
making the contest 44o to 436 in the

State Loses Value of

manner Yet when the entire body of

Its views in the only practical manner,
through the ballot. the state fails to
realize the value Of one of its strongest
assets -
The fact that where women have had
a certain amount Of suffrage there is an
evident desire to increase her power is
given as one Of the strongest arguments
In favor of full suffrage. In Kansas
where women have had municipal suf-
frage for nearly twenty-five years, the
mayors of the cities are practically unan-
imous in their expressions Of appreciation
OF the service rendered by the women
One of the great arguments put up
against women voting is that the polls
are such rough places that it is not
proper for any woman to go there. One
kansas mayor says:
Woman suffrage has much to do with
purifying our politics. The clerks upon
our election boards are almost always
women, which may account for the quiet
ness at the polls. I wish that my mother
and sister in Illinois had the same priyi-
lege of expressing their wishes at the
polls" Another mayor said recently:
''If we put up good, clean men the wom-
Ell in our town seem to take little in

bad men they take an active part and
generally elect their own candidate

done by using their strongest efforts ito
secure their political enfranchisement. In
the states where the suffrage matter has
been. or is now, leading issue the lead

favorably Of it from their pulpits and to
urge the men to vote in favor Of giving

Among the clergy who are working for
woman suffrage are Bishop McVicker of
Rhode Island. who 'noped and prayed
that the womens right to vote might
come soon, Dr. Rainsford. DIR. Peters.
Bishop Williams, Bishop Hall and many
others. Despite the fact that Cardinal
Gibbons is still numbered among the anti
suffra gists, there are many Catholic
clergymen who favor the enfranchisement
of women. In New York, the mother su-
