HOPPE RETAINS HIS
 BILLIARD LAURELS
Defeats SChaeier in Challenge
 Match for 1S-2 Title

Chicago, Jan. 24.-Willie Hoppe, of New York. by defeating Young Jake Schaefer, Of San Francisco, 1500 to I119G, in a challenge match last night retained his title as worlds 1892 balk line billiard champion. With but one exception, Hoppe has had the cham pionship since 1912.
 The exception was in 1921 when Jake Schaefer won it from Hoppe only to lose it again a year later.
 Hoppe finished the three blocks of 500 points each night with an average of 27 40-54. His high run for the match was lS2. Schaefer made 22 S-54, for an average and had ITO for high run.
 Until the latter part of the match both men played mediocre billiards. Schaefer had six blank innings, one of one point. one of two and one of three.
 Hoppe drew three blanks, three of one each, two of two and one Of three.
 Both men played a tight game and the low innings were due in part to bad leaves. However not until to- ward the end of the game did either man show cham pionship form.
 Hoppe was challenged by Edouard Horemans, Belgian star who finished fourth in the tournament at New York last year, The champion ac- cepted and will play Horemans within 60 days. In the near future Hoppe and Schaefer will leave on an exhi- bition tour of about two months at the conclusion of which Hoppe will meet the Belgian.

YANKEES GIVE UP DEAL FOR CULLOP Sale of Omaha TWirler Is Official
 Iy Cancelled

New York, Jan. 24.-Nebuchadnez- gar Cullop, the right-handed pitcher whom the Yankees purchased" re- gently from Omaha of the Western league, will not come to the world champions after all. Ed Barrow yes- terday declared that Bob Connery, who had been despatched 10 Omaha to clear up misunderstanding with !. F. Burch, president of the West ern club, had tclegraphed that the deal was off.
 The Yankees were to pay s15,00o for Cullop, who is not to be confound- ed with Nick, who used to be with the Yankees years ago and was rent to the Browns in the Derrill Pratt deal. It seems that Burch insisted that if Cullop were sold to New York he would have to stay in New York. He did not want to see Cullop shunt- cd right back to some minor league club. "Cullop is ripe for the big leagues and I want to see him get his deserved promation." insisted Burch.
 Apparently the Yankees were not able to give an iron clad guaranty to Omaha that Cullop would be retain ed. The collapse of the deal, per haps, leaves another opening for J. J. McGraw, the great pitcher hunter, who is stalking the bushes fin search of more singing material.
 The check for sl5.000 which Barrow sent to Judge Landis office for Gull lop now will be returned here. The purchase" of Cullop was part of a scheme to spend the s25,000 which the Yankees got from Cincinnati for Carl Mays. Now Col. Ruppert will have 10 find a new way to dispose of that sum.
