SUIT AGAINST P. U. C.
Santa Fe Brings an Action in Shaw
nee Co. District Court

The Bristow public utilities commits
sion landed in another lawsuit today.
Suit was filed in the Shawnee county
district court by the Santa Fe railway
company to vacate an order OF the
commission which would compel the
railroad to build side tracks and a sta
ton at a point half way between VAL
ley Falls and Rock Creek on the Atch-
ison branch.
The order was issued by the COM
mission September %. The petition
cites that the distance between Valley
Falls and Rock Creek is 8.S miles and
that either station is accessible to all
farmers and residents of the territory
between. The company alleges the
order would force the road to build
the side track and station on a steep
grade. The petition also alleges that
the territory does not furnish enough
business to justify the break in the
line.

Louis Kreuter, Boy BiliardiSt,
Like World Champion Hoppe
Protege of East Side Develops Into Luminary on the
Green Table, and Takes On Washington's
Champion This Week.
By KIRK c. MILLER.

Washington Is this week entertaining
a sporting celebrity. or wise versa. who
is a rare example of the familiar 9dage,
viz: History shall repeat itself.
Louis Kreuter, the seventeen-year-o old
pocket billiardist. who is meeting man
three times his years over the green
cushioned table in a series of games
which shall total COO points and cover
q period of three nights. Is as near a.
replica Of the champion. Willie Hoppe.
as the most exacting student of human
nature could demand. Hoppe. than
whom there is admittedly no more ex-
pert now in professional billiards, be-
gan welding the cue and ivory balls
at the age OF eIght-Louis Kreuter, who
Is appearing at the Grand Central Pal
ace this week, first took up the game
at the tender age of eleven. He is as
proficient today in the game OF pocket
billiards as Hoppe was at seventeen,
and. like Hoppe. he is first mastering
the pocket game before he is trying to
make himself efficient in three-cushion
billiards.
A mild-mannered youth. this Kreuter
has all of the earmarks of a champion
because of his exemplary habits, and
this very element in Hoppe is the fact
on which so many base the prediction
that he Will not be uncrOwned as the
billiard king for many, many years to
come. In fact, his possible successor
has not infrequently been referred to
as the boy Kreuter because of the SINH
lartty in character and habits of the
two. Unlike many champions in the
varied lines of sporting endeavor,
Hoppe has not a single tendency which
could be attacked by the strict laws of
| moral etiquette, in which respect Kreu-
ter IL following in his immediate foot
steps.
Both of these billiard satellites are as
particular in their personal and daily
modes of living as If they were follow
| ing the tenets of some Episcopalian
| college. Many billiard exponents smoke
! cigar sometimes during or after 3
difficult match. Hoppe nor Krcute
use tobacco In no manner whatever

pretentious than coffee. milk tea and

moments arise on the table. and with

matches. Kreuter has learned that the

Is the man who takes care of his body
and preserves nervous energy.

STARS WITH BILLIARD CUE
YOUTH CONQUERS

Walter Wallace, District pocket billiard cham
piOn, lost the first leg Of sOO-pOint match to Louis
Kreuter, the seventsen-year-Old boy wonder Of New
York, at the Grand Central Palace last night Score
200 to 1871. Two hundred points will be run of TO-
night, and tomorrow night will see the finish Of the
series
In the opening nights engagement Kreuter had
high run Of 81 against waIlaces &c. Wallace played
consistently and starred on long shots, while
Kreuters success was due largely to ability to de-
liver on daring shots and leave his cue ball in posi-
ton for the following shots.
The Washington times., 1916-01-27

Hopes father was a star billiard per-
former. as was the paternal parent OF
young Jake Schaefer. and so the pres
ent champion inherits some OF his bill
lizard playing proclivities. Kreuter's mas
terry Of the game is OF his own making
and origin as no member OF his Fam
fly on either side of the house was ever
connected with the game in any way.
Like many present-daY stars. Kreuter
first became identified with the game
In the capacity of a rack boy" and he
gradually picked up" the game in a
billiard parlor on Third street and ave-
nue. B. on the East Side of New York.
He was comparatively unknown until
he finished second in the New York
State tournament at Doyles two. years
ago. after which Burton Mank. former
manager of Willie Hoppe. undertook
the task of developing the boy. The
result is that Kreuter is leaving a wide
trail in the game wherever he goes, and
here in WashinRton he has q large fol-
lowing because of the impression he has
made In his two appearances here
against Walter Wallace. his opponent

Little Louis Kreuter has been in
