HAGENLACHER LEADS
HOPPE BY g. POINTS

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 6.-Willie
Hoppe and his famous cue have
come back under the magic strokes
of a master hand to threaten the
brief supremacy of the young Ger
man star, Eric Hagenlacher.
For four hours and a half Hagen
lacher and the veteran New Yorker
played last night in the first 500
point block of a 1900 point match
for the worlds 1872 balkline title.
And only by sensational finish did
Hagenlacher. the defending cham
pion, nose out the former title
holder by a slim margin of Ga points,
500 to 436. p"
Spectacular runs of 100 and III
saved Hagenlacher from defeat
which gave early indications of be-
coming a rout. Hoppe. playing mas
terly open table billiards. raced
away to commanding lead by piling
up magnificent run of 14S In the
opening frame after the titleholder
had stopped at 10. This generous
advantage he held virtually intact
until the eighth frame. when Hagen
lacher emerged from an uncertain
start TO reel off the two long clusters
which put him out in front.
Handicapped by bad position,
Hoppe was forced to spend most of
the late hours Of the match in his
chair while the champion was click
ing off the winning points, but his
clever manipulation of the worries
early in the game indicated to OBJ
servers that a stirring battle is In
prospect before they reach the end
of the final block tomorrow night.
Hagenlacher's strong finish was
concluded with an unfinished run of
%. which will give him the first turn
at the table tonight. He required
IL frames to complete his string,
posting an average of 10 5-ll TO
40 Clio for Hoppe.

For 10 successive years Rose has
