H0PPE VS. SCHAEFER
Billiard Champion Resting A ,cr Hard Tournament. With Welker Cochran of New York.

New York, Feb. 14 P>-Willie Hoppe, who successfully defended his 1S.2 balkline billiard champion. I. ship against Welker Cochran in Bos- ton last week, rested today for his special 5000 point lS.1 match with Jake Schaefer which opens here to- morrow. Although Schaefer defeat cd Hoppe for the 1S.l title last year, both players have agreed with a.le Brunswick Bake -Collender Con- pany thaa the 1S.1 crown will not be at stake.
 The billiard company contended that Hoppe had forfeited his title by failure to defend it for ten years prior to meeting Schaefer. The men had signed for q championship match but changed the articles and substituted $1,000 side bet at the the insistence of the company. The match will be played in ten blocks of 300 points.
 Outcome of the title, conceded to be for the Supremacy at 1S.1 balk- line," may again restore Hoppe to a position at the head of the billiard world. Hoppe brought his title de- fense against Cochran to a close Saturday night with a decisive llar- gin of 150O to 1915, despite stubborn rallies by the Los Angeles star.

DELANEY ID MEET
 MALONEY FRIDAY
Principals in Bout in Last Week
 of Training

New York. Feb. 14 R1A turbu- lent week lay ahead of Jimmy Ma lcpey and Jack Delaney today in training quarters where the two col orful stars of Tex Richards heavy- weight elimination series are fitting :t.ems elves for the ten round classic of the indoor season at Madison Square Garden Friday night.
 The New York boxing commission has decided to acquaint the light heavyweight titleholder with the regulations of the commission gov e1rins champions boxing out of their divisions. An edict that De- laney must weigh 175 pounds, the linn, of his class on the afternoon os the match "or there will be no fight" was on the person of Daniel H. skilling. deputy of the commits sion, bound for the Delaney camp a: Bridgeport, Conn.,, today. Skilling will report Delaney's present weight to the commission.
 While both battlers rested over Sunday in preparation for strenu- ous week with sparring partners, the weight advantage of Maloney figured prominently in discussions Of the coming fray. Supporters of the Boston Battler. who already have thrown close to s500,000 into the wagering marts at quoted odds # to 6, are frank in the belief that Maloney's 25 pound advantage will turn the tide In his favor.
 Maloney, a bruising slugger with both hands has worked at his Long Branch. N. J.. camp for the past week to perfect his short hooks to the body, they point out, thus fore casting a forceful style of milling that will keep Delaney constantly on the defensive with litle chance to employ his crafty devastating at tack.
 Delaney's speed as a puncher, the accuracy of his crushing right hand attack. and the general improvement in the light heavyweight champions health, and strength in the past few months will offset Maloney's weight advantage, Delaney's packers be- lieye. The skillful French Canadian has spent most of his time since conquering Paul Berlenbach in tramping through the New Hamp- shire hills and along the shores of Lake Winnepesaukee.
 The new Boston strong boy has very definite ideas on the weight and punching power of himself and Delaney. They tell me Delaney can hit. Well. can hit hard too. and with 25 more pounds behind my blows, doesn't it stand to reason am the harder hitter" he said at his training camp.
