Ex. Billiard Champion Of the World

Yesterday put the finishing toucl
to my match with Erik Hagenlacher
champion Of Germany. and won tn,
match 2143 to 1856.
As I said in my article yesterday
Hagenlacher did not admit defeat be.
cause he was trailing me. There ism
an ounce OF quit in his body, and h,
proved that particularly yesterda,
afternoon.
In the fifth inning he made a rur
OF 14?. 1t was not merely the rur
that impressed everyone who saw th,
match. but the manner in which Hagen.
lacher made his points. All but nine.
teen were made on the short rail
which is a testimonial to his magnifccn,
nursing.
1t gave him a big lead in that sec
tion Of the match. and warned me tha
| would have to keep on edge II cx-
pccted TO assure my victory. MANAGED
| TO make Il fair sized run Of 112
backed by two others of seventy two
and seventy three. which brought ne
up within sixty.tivc points of Hagen
lacher.
had to make an extraordinary num-
Der of masse shots on that run. and
the masse is always difficult and re-
quires perfect nerve control. Had
Willie Hoppe been forced to make many
masses in the recent championship
| tournament he would not have won, for
was Willie's ability to play the rail
that enabled him to regain the laurels
that l had taken from him the year
before.
Let me say here. and not at all In n
u boastful vein, that | fully expect to
win back that championship when play
Mr.. Hoppe again. l respect his
prowess, and state. without reservation,
that he is one of the greatest cham.
pions that ever welded a cue, but am
in the best of condition now--as / think
my match with tIasenlacher has
proved.
In the evening made my high run
Of the three day match. 19S, and. ms
on Tuesday night J set record for
| Philadelnh.n Of an so average. l think
I may say without boastiny that am
il form again.
Cont to BE Feared
Next Tuesday, December :. n match
will b. staged at the Hudson Recreation
| Rooms between young Cont. the cham.
pion of France. and the veteran Edou.
ard Horemuns, champion OF Belgium.
There il an intense rivalry between
them and, IA they will play for IS per
cent of $1,000 purse. some very keen
billiards will be shown.
The winner of that match will play
me to decide who will meet Willie
Hoppe for the championship Of the
world.
Cont. who is only nineteen, is Just
hclf Horemans' age. but he has shown
| extreme briliance Of play, Cont de.
feated me once in Chicago, and Hore.
! returned the compliment, so I look on
! fidently. but with high respect for the
ability Of each man.
Horcmans Is king of the masse shot
ard holds the worlds record run Of
$50. hut Cont has shown in several
matches with the Belgian that he is not
awed by the veterans ability.
The scores Of yesterdays match be.
