H0REMANS AGREEABLE
Belgian Billiardist is Willing to Talk Terms With Willie Hoppe-Wants 1S-1 and 1S-2 Matches.

New York, Jan. 20.-Edouard Horemans, champion billiardist of Europe, announced last night that he would meet, the terms demanded by Willie Hopes manager that a, match between the two might be consul mated. The difference between the two has been the division of the gate
 Hoppe having insisted upon the win ner taking all while Horemans was held out for a percentage to the loser
 but, so anxious is he to bring about the match that he has waived that condition. He said: "I will play Hoppe two matches, one of 2,0oO points at 1S-1 balkline and one of 5000 points at 1S-2 balkline billiards, and will agree to Hopes managers terms that the winner take all the gate. I want long games that will afford a real test

BELGIAN PLAYS BRILLIANTLY
HoremanS Amazes OnIookers at
 Daly's Academy by His Cue Skill

New York, Jan: 2e.-Edouard Horemans, the Belgian cue expert, played two more remarkable games of 1S-1 balklbine billiards yesterday esnal rect magewmd arlapy kreoaly's at Maurice Daly's academy In the afternoon game he far eclipsed the new high-run mark of 145 which he made on Tuesday and which was three points better than Frank Ives made in 1897. In the opening inning of the afternoon game he clicked off total of 207 points, to the amaze ment of the large and enthusiastic gallery, made up of the greater part of clever biTliardists
 During that run, which is a new American record at 1S-1 balkline in a match, tournament, or an exhibi- ton, the Belgian tallied no less than 40 points by means of masse shots while his draw shots were to numer- ous to count. At the conclusion of the game he expressed disappointment at not having run out the entire 300 points of the block.

PROMOTERS QUIT
w. A. Brady and Charles B. Cochran Withdraw From Proposed Dcmp- Scy-Carpcntier Bout. =.


 New York, Jan. 2O--WfthdrawaI of two of the promoters of the s5oo,- 900 championship heapyweight box ing bout between Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier will not deter the third promoter, Tex Rickard from staging the contest, he said today. He indicated he would immediately pro- cure other promoters to take the places of Wm. A. Brady and Charles B. Cochran and attempt to hold the light in Canada.
 After day of denials that the bout had been called off, Brady an nounced last night that so far as he was concerned he was through be- cause the contracts have not been mutually observed"
 He also said he was fully author ized to announce the formal with drawal of Cochran who is in Eng land.
 Brady's statement threw a bomb shell into the boxing world. FolloO- CTS of the sport generally agreed that the breaking up of the triumvirate of promoters presaged virtual aban- donment of the plan to hold the con- test in the United States. Rickard was reported to be in favor of stag ing the fight in Montreal on July ?. Cochran's reported offer to hold the fight in London was given serious consideration by many enthusiasts.
 Rickard expressed surprise at the action of Brady and Cochran. He regarded their claim that the for feits had not been posted in accord a0ce with the strict letter of the com tract as purely technical objection.
