WIN IN CUE EVENT
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 10. - Ralph
Greenleaf of New York, world pocket
billiard champion, and Johnny Layton
of Sedalia, Mo-, the titian-haired king
of the three-cushion artists, have turned
back the first of four attacks to dis
lodge them from their thrones.
Playing masterful billiards, the two
champions came through their first
matches in the two round robin tourna-
mentS at Orchestra Hall last night with
victories. Greenleaf triumphed over
Pasquale Natalie of Baltimore, 125 to
ia, in SO innings, while Layton edged
out the veteran Gus Copulos of Detroit
SO to 48, in At innings of spectacular
| shot-making.
| The two men who were recognized as
| their greatest threats came through
however. They were Frank Taberski OF
| Schenectady, N. Y, who defeated Edwin
Rudolph of Chicago, 125 to ia, in the
pocket billiard match, and the always
spectacular Willie Hoppe of New York
who beat the former champion, Otto
Reiselt, of Philadelphia, so to 35
Hoppe, who is after the three-cushion
title, the only billiard crown he has
never won, appeared to be the master
of old, and those who watched the
ulhUCIlCS odIu 1lC WdS GIIC OI1C 4JdytOtl
must defeat if he successfully defends
his championship.
Yesterdays matches were replete with
good shots, even though several of the
players, especially Reiselt were both
cred by the lively cushions.
Taberski appeared greatly superior tc
any of the contenders for the pocket
billiard title while defeating Rudolph
| He discarded his usual Superdeliberate
style of play and shot rapidly, with
deadly precision.
| Layton appeared to be in good form
but not as good as Hoppe. Hoppe seem
ed the acme of confidence and clicked
off several punches of fours and fiveS
His defensive game was excellent.
| Today's pocket billiard matches bring
| together Greenleaf and Rudolph anC
Taberski and Natalie, while Layton
meets Reiselt and Hoppe meets Copulos
| in the three-cushion matches. The
tournament, which carries cash prizes
of $4,000 for the winners, ends tomor-
row night.
