HOPPE WINS MATCH,
BUT PLAYS POORLY

NEW YORK, October So.-While
William +. Hoppe, the defending
champion. stepped out In front by his
last nights victory over Erich Hagen
lacher of Germany in the first match
of the world 1872 balkline billiard
championship tournament. his victory
was not impressive and his followers
will watch his next appearance with
nervousness.
Hoppe won from Hagenlacher, 500
to 424, but it took him twenty-siX in
nings to do it. the match requiring
three hours and forty five minutes to
play and taking q place as one OF the
slowest championship games on
record.
Two close matches are expected to-
day when welker Cochran. United
States. meets Roger Cont. the French
star, in the afternoon. and Jake
Schaefer, former titleholder, and
Edouard Horemans of Belgium come
together in the night match.
A clean-cut victory for Schaefer
probably would make him a favorite
over Hoppe in view of the latter 9
play last night. Hoppe lost the title
to Schaefer two years ago, regained
it last November and successfully de-
Tended IL against him last March.
Hoppe did not play in his usual form
last night He had high runs Of 1e6
and 10I. Hagenlacher was brilliant
in spots. but failed on several occa-
sions when victory was within reach.
His high runs were 121 and 81.

Club oarsmen caused by the late spring
here, officials of the D. b. c. hope to

next summer. the d. B. C. oarsmen
have been in training for several
weeks and now are about ready to
leave the chilly course and take up
work on the indoor machines
The crews ordinarily are never able
TO get out on the water here until
May, and sometimes later. With the

feel that the national amateur rowing
champions would be facing a big
handicap against the eastern crews,
which will train on the water from

quirer from H. d. (Curley) Brown. at
Chicago, that the proposed race meet
ing at Oriental Park, Havana, has
been declared off, and that Cuba will
be without horse racing this winter.
The Cuban-American Jockey Club
got into financial difficulties last year
and the bondholders foreclosed on the
property. All summer Charles Stone
ham, Manager Frank Bruen and
others have been trying to form a
company to lease the track from the
bondholders for a term of ten years.
it was supposed the company had
been formed and all difficulties sur
mounted until Brown wired from Chi
cago that "a few Cubans have got the
track tied up and demand such un-
reasonable terms that it is impossible
to give racing there this winter, so
the meeting is off"
Brown. who had just returned from
Cuba, said he was leaving Chicago for.
