COFFROTH'S LUCK
BROKEN At
LAST !.

The Ritchie-M Murphy fight, (which
was to have been held in San Fran
cisco the night of December 10. in Jim
Coffroth's open air arena, was called
off on account Of rain, and its post
ponement cost the promoter $4,000 in
actual cash. to say nothing of what
he lost as his share of the receipts.
The advance sale was estimated at
$50, 900. and OF this Richie was to re-
ceive so per cent, while Coffroth and
Murphy split the balance even.
Speaking of the break in Coffroth's
proverbial luck, the San Francisco
Examiner says: = 49,

weather. He has turned deaf ear to
the rainy-day prophets and staked

He has seen fight days dawn drear

with a smile and an offer to bet that
the fight he had planned to take place
en- schedule time, and that the sun
would be streaming down upon his
open air arena or the stars would be

Even yesterday afternoon. when the

mist was thickening he laughingly
stood by his luck and offered to bet
that the Richie Murphy fight would
be held on schedule time. He offered
to bet with men who knew in their
hearts that rain was due any minute,
and he offered to bet them two to one.
And they fingered their money,
thought of Coffroth's luck and turned
away.

HOPPE TRIES
english GAME
[By Latest Mail

NEW YORK. - Willie Hoppe, hold
er Of the 49, and 1872 billiard titles
and master of the worries at almost
any of the American styles of play,
is industriously concerning himself
these days with the English billiard
game. in view of his proposed inter-
national match with Melbourne In
man, the English champion at mixed
styles. The match is to be staged in
New York some time in January.
The details have not been entirely
arranged, but it will probably be for
either 5000 or 10000 points, half of
which will be played at each style.
The contest will start in New York
in Chicago and Philadelphia, the
stakes to be a side bet and a share of
the gate receipts. The total number
of points at both styles of play will
decide the winner.
+ 1t is conceded that Hoppe will lead
his rival at the 1872 game, at which
he is champion and complete master.
But it is also conceded that Inman
will have a big advantage over the
American player at the English game,
and it is a matter of discussion
among followers of the game whether
HOPPE can sufficiently outclass the
Ems ishman at the balkline style to
offs t the disadvantage he will be at
in tic other style of play.
Hoppe will find the English game
radically different from what he is
used to. In the first place it is played
on much larger table than is used
in this country while the balls are
much smaller. and the pockets which
are used in this game are also small.
In counting a carom counts two,
pocketing the white ball counts two
and off the red ball three.
Owing to the high runs that can be
made at this game, if Hoppe should
fall down at 1t he would find his rival
rapidly making up the ground lost at
the American style, and this is the
reason that even those who feel that
Hoppe is the greatest player in the
world are doubtful in this case. Hoppe
expects TO do his best work in the
English game by nursing the balls
along the rail. There are no balk-line
rules TO contend with, and he can run
the balls right along, amaSsing points.
But before he can 60 very high he
will have to carry the balls past his
side pocket and also after making %
CaromS he will have to drive his cue

Roy Hartzell, Chance's clever utility
player, will be retained next season
and Il is not improbable that he will
win a regular place in the outfield
Hartzell could have been sold to the

McAleer said he could find regular
berth for him. but Chance would moi

WORLD'SBEST
LAWN TENNIS
PLAYERS NAMED

Anthony F. WIlding won the world s
covered court lawn tennis champion
ship al Stockholm on November 9,
and strengthened the claims CT his ad-
mirers, who consider him the strong
.stglivlng player. Euring the season
of1913, WIlding won all Of the three
worlds championship titles which
were established early in the year by
the newly organized international fed

In Paris in May he won the hard
court championship OF the world
against the strongest French and Ger
man players, but had considerable
trouble IN his matches against De-
cujis and Colbert. In this tournament
ne played through.
At Wimbledon, England, on July 6.
he defended his title as worlds grass
court champion, and defeated Maurice
Mclaughlin in the challenge match,
after a good contest. Just why he
should have been allowed to stand out
where a newly instituted champion
ship was at stake, has never been
explained.

II was true that the Wimbledon
CHAMPIONSHIPS have been claimed by
the English players for years, as the
leading grass court event, but IN this
case the federation was recognized as
in charge for the first time and would
seem as il the players should all nave
been placed on the same, footing.
At Stockholm, Wrld:ng encountered
an opposition which figured to be
much weaker than he. met at either
Paris or Wimbledon, but won by mar
rover margin. He played through the
tournament and won from H. Klein
schroth Of Germany, who Is ranked as
the third best player of his country
by the close score of S-6, GA, 1l-9.
In the final match Wilding beat n.
,,erbot Of Paris, 81, SO. 81. Wildfng
thus became the holder of the three
worlds championships instituted by
the international federation, but the
nigh sounding titles bestowed fail to
carry quite face value. because the
federation itself lacks complete
membership Of the nations.

Until Wilding has met and defeated
Norman Brookes or until the latter
has shown clear signs Of losing his
grip, he should not be ranked above

Ranking of Players.
In these lists the inclusion Of c. P.

can certainly not be justified by any
of their exploits through the season.
London Tennis and Badminton, the Of
fetal English tennis journal, criticises
the American lawn tennis. first choice.
1t places Wilding as the greatest play
er of the year, and makes no further
ranking; but it remarks that when
Wilding beat Mclaughlin at Wimble-
don in three sets, probably no other
player in the world could have turn
ed the trick.
1t appears that in spite of the fine
performances of J. c. Parke in Aus

that Parke became sure of place on
