FINAL STANDING IN
BILLIARD TOURNEY

NEW YORK, November 21.-Wfllie
Hoppe defeated Ora Morningstar by a
score of 500 to 276 in the final match Of
the big billiard tournament in the Hotel
Astor last night. and captured the
worlds championship at 1872. big
crowd enjoyed the brilliant show of skill.
There was some delay in beginning the
match. and Hoppe and Morningstar sat
and fdgeted, while the crowd applauded.
Tom Gallagher acting as master Of cere-
monies, finally introduced Charles A..
Towne. who lauded billiards as a game
allowing of infinite development. He
spoke of 1t as a national enjoyment and
alluded to the fact that Gen. Grant, when
President, had introduced table into
the White House. and that Woodrow Will
son, the President-elect, was an ardent
admirer Of the ancient art of caroms.
Hoppe won the bank for lead. and
opened with the regulation shot. Then
he put four other caroms together along
the size cushion, to fall down on a short
draw shot. Beginning from an attractive
set-up, Morningstar started his string
with 10. The third count of this cOmpila-
ton was a daring draw, and he followed
1t by leading the globes to the foot of the
table. The thirteenth count was freeze,
and Morningstar, although solving 1t by
a cleverly cued bank, in which he used
plenty of English, lost position, and he
eventually closed the cluster by poorly
calculated ccushion carom.
Hoppe Gets Going.
Hoppe began to display his mastery on
his third visit to the green-topped pla-
teau He had the balls in almost perfect
nursing position at the beginning. After
vain attempts to coax them along the
line Hoppe gave it up. Free-handed
caroms followed, with an occasionl
brilliantly worked masse shot. The sixty
ninth count was of this order.
Hoppe had to delicately twirl the cue
ball around the corner and avoid q kiss.
but he accomplished the trick like a Jug
gler He had the ivories rolling beauti-
fully on cross-table maneuvering In the
end, when at II he nipped shot too
fast off the rail and gave way to his op-
ponent.
Morningstar, however, was as volatile
and tickle as an April day. He blew hot
and cold, bringing off the most amazing
cushion caroms and overcoming per-
picking situations by splendid use of
English on the cushions. He did all this,
only to trip up on what seemingly ap-
peared to be the most slovenly playing
of the simplest of shots.
BY backing his initial effort at double
figures with 81, 36, Ii and 10 in rotation.
Hoppe advanced to the commanding lead
of 211 to o. with an average shade
in excess of 80 for his seven turns at
the table.
