The Australlans have used a_wise policy in their plans this year. First, they came early, and then refused to play "Hawail in Honolulu in order to ccustom the members of their team 10 the different playing conditions that obtain in this country. That 1hi sound is proved by thelr casy vietory over France a little over week ago. The French team, al- though not the one which had won on the continent, made the mistake of reaching liere 00 late to get accus- tomed to conditions of play and our climat In addition, they have brought along two of thelr young players—McInnes and Schles- the inger—so they may have the benefit | of u season's play in America.

But this year, accidents barred, Amer- iea will "hold it surely. And that is all there is to it.

INTERNATIONAL CUE TOURNEY IS PLANNED NEW YORK, August 25.—Plans for an international professional billiard championship tournament at which Willie Hoppe will defend his crown are rapidly being completed, it way announced tonight, The tournament probably will be held here in No- vember, although Chicago, Philadel. phia and Boston also have entered bids. This year's tournament will be conducted similarly to that held a year ago in New York, when Hoppe regained his title from Jake Schaefer, successfully defending it against his young rival last March. ‘The compe- tition was limited to three American and three foreign cue stars. Early this year it was proposed to alter the playing program to provide for a preliminary qualifying -test prior to a championship round robin, limited to four players, but this was jrejected because it would have per- mitted Hoppe to stand out until the “challenge round.” One-important change will be in- stituted this year, however, in con- nection with chailenges subsequent to the tournament. All of the play- ers who Snish wili have the'right to challenge the winner in the order of their finish, and the champion will be forced to 'defend his laurels.
