WONDERFUL BILLIARDS.
Hoppe. American Champion Made
Worlds Record This Week.

OF all brilliant performances Of the
paSt in ls.2 halkinc billiards, il is
doubtful if there is another TO compare
with what Willie Hoppe has accom-
plishcd in Chicago this week. The ISL
and ls.2 champion of the world not
only defeated George Sutton 1900 to
13i in three nights Of play, but he
established 4 worlds record Tuesday
night and probably another Wednesday
night.
Tuesday night his record was in aver
aging 1851 il a 800 point match game;
"Wednesday night he ran the last 800
points of the match in 10 innings, so
that his last 1000 points were scored in
II innings. They really required only
- innings. inasmuch as Hoppe had an
unfinished run Of So in his final inning
Tuesday night and scored 1l9 more in
his first inning Wednesday night. which
actually meant one inning Of 205
points But even on the basis of IA
innings for the last two blocks Of the
l500-pont match, Hoppe : grand aver
ace for l0O0 points was Il ola. For
the entire match his grand average was
- 1927.
All this was done. too. in a Chicago
room. whereas nearly all Of Hoppe :
matches of the last two or three wears
have been in his home city, New York
| The fact that the match was taking
/ place in Chicago YVES considered {
strong asset for Sutton, but Hoppe
proved once more that il makes little
| difference to him where he plays. Tht
hope Of billiard followers in general i
that some means will be found TO
matching Hoppe with Cassignol, TIT
great French PLAYER, and the only on
in the world who is considered to hav,
ar even chance 10 down the American
wizard of the cue.
