A., charged the A. A.

PSA LONER OSH | Pirate Backstop id the BILLIARD TITLE Chief Pushacue Tomahawks Veteran Willie Hoppe to Win Crown Fourth Time Chicago, April 16.—(#)—Titian- haired Johnny Layton of St. Louis was chief of two worlds today— chief of a tribe of Northern Minne- sota Indians and chief of America’s three cushion billiard stars. His appellation, Chief Pushacue, was given to him by the Indians with whom he fishes every sum- mer; he won the billiard crown Sat- urday night by tomahawking the veteran Willie Hoppe of New York 50 to 37, in 46 innings in the final match of the two weeks National three cushion tournament. As calm and philosophical as an aged Indian chieftain smoking a Pipe of peace, the rotund mound city man met and defeated Hoppe at his own safety game. It was the fourth time Layton took the title. With it this time, he took $1,200 in cash, custody of the diamond medal emblematic of three cushion billiard supremacy in America, 24 per cent of the gate re- ceipts and a salary of $250 a month as long as he clings to the crown.
