Billiard Stars Are
Scattered OUer the
" OrLd This Summer
BY AL SPHINX


The great billiard players are just
now scattered all over the world.
Young Jake Schaefer and wife are
IN a wei equipped auto journeying
from Chicago 70 the Pacific coast
by easy stages.
Young Schaefer's mother IS a resi-
dent OF Alameda. across the bay
from san Francisco in California
and Jake and his wife will summer
there providing they get over the
Sierra Nevada mountains in safety.
Welker Cochrane and his wife are
guests Of a millionaire who has =
magnificent home on the outskirts
OF Los Angeles.
The challenger will remain there
for half the summer and then go on
80 his home in San Francisco where
il may happen he and Scheefer may
hook up together in some sort OF "a
match.
They have shaken hands. are now
good friends and are able TO talk
sound sense to one another.
Willie Hoppe, the ex-champion. is
in New York preparing for the
opening Of his new room there.
1t will be opened in the early fall
and there and. then viii be big do
ings in the metropolitan billiard
world
The eX-champion, wonderful play
er that he IS and Charley Peterson
OF ST. Louis, fancy shot champion.
VIII probably open the new Hoppe
room. Peterson and other we'll
known billiard men being partners
Of the ex-champion in his New York
enterprise.
Roger Cont, who finished fourth
in the last international 1872 balk-
line billiard tournament. is summer
ing in the south Of France. He does
his practicing IN the Olympic acad-
envy in Paris.
Cont has made great progress in
the game since his visit 10 America
and he has high hopes Of defeating
Champion Schaefer when they meet
in the next challenge game 10 be
played in November ar some point
yet to be named
ORC Mcrningstar. who finished
next To Cont in the international,
will put in the summer at San Diego,
Cal, and when not practicing bill
iards he Will devote some time 10
painting the scenery out there. This
Is not said jokingly for the balkliner
is a very handy man with the brush
When in Chicago at the last tourna-
ment he put in much Of his spare
time in the Art institute. Like the
late Frank Ives who could do almost
anything in the sport line from base
ball 10 billiards, Morningstar is al
so something of an all-rounder, be-
ing a fine skater as we'll as a won
derful billiardist and excellent
painter.
Edouard Horesman. the Belgian
champion at 1872 balkline billiards.
IS getting gay. AIoresman is now in
Canada and the other day while in
Toronto he declared that he would
play Schaefer, Cochran. Hoppe,
Cont, Morningstar or Sutton match
es at ISL for $500 a side.
There Is no doubt that Horesman
has improved IN his play recently
and he was a wonderful player az
that even three years ago when he
first arrived in this country.
Today Horesman is not only will
ing TO play any Of the Americans
at 1872 balkline but he IS willing 20
meet any man living at the 1871
game with the exception OF the Ger
man champion, Erich Hagenlacher.
George Sutton, still another OF the
competitors in the last international.
has a farm in Michigan where he Is
putting in some time these days and
when not farming ne does some
playing in his Chicago room just 20
keep his hand in.
