HOPPE RETAINS
 BILLIARD TITLE
Champion Runs 239 in Fifth Inning, Taking Last Game
 From Jake Schaefer

NEW YORK. Dec. S.-Willie Hoppe, professional billiard champion, retain ed the 1S,2 balkline title by defeating Jack Schaefer of San Francisco 400 to 54 in the fifth game of the cham pionship tournament here today Hoppe ran 2S9 in his fifth inning ana ended the game in the tenth.
 Although Hoppe was scheduled to play Walker Cochran of San Francis co tonight in the final game of the series. defeat could not affect his title as he has three victories and has lost no games while Cochran had lost two and Sohaefer three.
 The champion gave the best exhibi tion of the series thus far. His run of 239 was marked by perfect open table play and delicate nursing snots along the rails. The run ended when the champion missed difficult double cushion reverse bank. Schaefer had few chances. He was left with open table shots which gave him little op- portunity to gather the balls and get started.
