NJEW YORK, Dec. 14.-The
IN firm stand taken by Willie
~ Hoppe and his manager, r.
B. Benjamin, in refusing to de-
fend the 1872 balk line billiard
championship of the world in any
city except New York, bore fruit
today in an announcement by C.
p. Miller, vice president of the
Brunswick Bake -Collender Com
pany, that the challenge match
for the title would be held in this
city "in all probability" A
suitable place for holding the
match is now being sought, Miller
added.
This is a change from the original
plans. which called for the match in
Boston, Chicago or Philadelphia.
Hoppe stood out for his home city
because he was convinced his draw
ing power at the gate would be much
greater here than anywhere else.
Miller also announced that it had
been definitely decided that the
match to decide Hopes opponent
between Roger Cont and Jake
Schaefer-wOuld be played in Chi
cago January 8, and 10. This
match will be at 500 points, in
blocks of 500 points each night. and
the same conditions will govern the
title match, in which the winner
meets Hoppe.
Although the rules provide that
the title match shall take place
within thirty days after the COM
petition to select an opponent for the
champion. it is not probable the
championship play will begin until
Bbout the middle of March. as a suit
able place is said not to be avail
able until then.
Mr.. Miller balked at proposal by
Hopes manager to have the match
in Madison Square Garden. He said
the Garden could not be heated
sufficiently for the ivory balls to
work right" 1t is probable that
the big ballroom at either the Penn
sylvania or AstOr hotel will be en-
gagged

HURING the late fall Of 1910
efforts were made to bring
about q meeting Of repre-

and teams for the purpose Of or
ganizing an association to con-
duct annual championship tourna-
ments in singles, doubles, and
five-mep events in duckpins semi
lar to those held BY the Washing
ton City Tenpin Association.
For some unknown reason the
bowlers were not responsive and
nothing vas accomplished toward
perfecting an organization by those
who were in back Of the proposed
association ct that time. However,
along about the tenth of. February
there appeared notices in ths local
press that . meeting was to be
