MORNINGSTAR AFTER SUTtON'S 18.1 BILLIARD
 CHAMPIONSHIP

George Sutton, who recently took the |1S.1 balkline billiard championship or
 the world from Willie Hoppe, will have
 to defend his title day after to-mor-
 row against Ora Mornlngstar, ana 1T the veteran holds his own he will have
 his work cut out for him. During
 the past few years the 1S.1 worlds
 title has changed hands several times.
 Early in 1909 George Sutton, who had
 held the championship some time. lost
 it to George F. Slosson. In June of
 the same year Sutton came back and
 defeated Slosson. Early in 1910 Will
 lie Hoppe challenged Sutton and the
 contest was played in Chicago, the
 'sboy wizard" winning by a, wide mar
 gin. George F. Slosson then challeng-
 ed Hoppe, who set New York as the
 place and Dec. 1 and 2. 1910 as the time for the encounter. The result or the two-night match was: Hoppe. l.
 GOO: Slosson, 471. In this game Hoppe
 made the highest championship match run-110-and average-22.22. In 1910
 Hoppe also captured the 18.2 title from H. P. Cline of Philadelphia. Hoppe retained the 18.1 title until this year, when he was defeated by Sutton, whom he had. beaten for the 182 champion ship last November by the overwhelm- ing score of 800 to 266. Ora Morn ingstar, the challenger, who is to meet Sutton on Saturday, is a native of Rochester, Ind., but now resides Tn Pittsburgh. In executing difficult shots he has had few equals in the game. He is one of the most re- sourceful players that ever handled a | cue, and his failure in the past to take and hold front rank is apparently not l to be accounted for by any lack of
 skill. Morningstar won the 18.2 title in the big worlds championship tour | nament held in Madison Square Gar | den, N. Y., March % to April 2, 1909
 when he competed against Sutton
 Slosson, Cutler, Cure, Cline and Dem arrest. In the following July Morning star resigned the title and for time abandoned the game, owing to ner-
 vousness. Morningstar declares he | has entirely recovered from the at- l tack of nerves" and that he is now able to strike his Old-time gait. The winner will have to defend the title against Willie Hoppe, who is deter mined to recover the lost honor. Not long after his defeat by Sutton in the l 18.1 match Hoppe successfully defend ed his .18.2 title against Calvin Dem arrest. Billiard bugs who have watch ed Hopes play recently believe that he lost to Sutton on f1uke, wTle Temporarily out of condition, and that he will be able to come out of the slump and again cHnch the right ts
 call himself the worlds greatest bil. liare crack.

Nichols Fined
 $I0 And Given
 } Day Suspension

Capt. Arthur Nichols. the red faced warrior of the Holyoke club, has been suspended for five days and fined $10 for his fight with Catcher Flaherty of Springfield during the game in Hol- yoke last week. The announcement was made by President O'Rourke of the Connecticut league today.
 Before passing judgment the presi- dent obtained statements from F4ah- erty, Nichols and Umpire Wagner. All agreed that Nichols was the az gressor. Nichols admitted he lost his head and declared he would be more careful in the future.
 The fight started when Holyoke was at bat. A ball was batted into the bleachers and Capt. Nichols rushed from the bench to demand that new ball be introduced. His request was granted and when Pitcher Finn of Springfield soiled the new sphere, Nichols demanded another ball. Ac- counts differ regarding the next move. Nichols says Flaherty tried to grab the ball. Anyway the Holyoke cap tain took a punch at F1aherty and there was wild time until the play CTS were separated. Nichols suspen- sion goes into effect today.

 Although Hank ODay's Reds took the entire series from Brooklyn they were forced to extend themselves each game, and the opinion prevails that the Cincinnati club is beginning to feel the strain of the fast pace 1t has set. While big Jeff Tesreau has pitch ed real good ball each time he has started this season, he has been in- clined to be wild at times, and fur- ther the club does not give him the best of support at critical moments. Speaking of the grooves of we'll known batters Christy Mathewson says Hans Wagner's groove is a base on balls.

Pitcher Dixie Walker has been sent to Winston-S Salem of the Carolina as sociation by Manager McCann. He goes under an optional agreement ana may return later if he shows a dis position to do the right thing. The management declares Walker would not report for morning practice and the club was going out of town. Such a player will break up discipline on a club and for that reason it was thought better to get rid of him. Walker is a good pitcher but he is his own worst enemy. No club will let a winning twirler get away unless there is something wrong with the mans conduct. The local club is now negotiating with a first class tw1rler and it is expected that the new man will report before the week is over.
