T. L. MONIER TURNS IN A REMARKABLE SHOOTING FEAT IN MATCH AT MIDDLEFIELD LAST NIGHT — NEW YORKERS HEAR RUMBLINGS OF A DEAL, WHICH INVOLVES COLLINS, KERR, MAYS AND WARD —WILLIE HOPPE' REGAINS HIS TITLE BY DEFEATING JAKE SCHAEFER 500 TO 283 " HOPPE REGAINS WORLD'S CUE TITLE .P-.._...‘ ScMoIor Is Deleated 500 to 283 in Final Game —_— Now York, Nov. ~Willle Hoppe 1egatned the world's 18,2 protessionil Lalkline billlard championship by de- feating Jake Schaefer, who won the 1itl¢ last year, in the 16th and final game of the international (ournament @t the Hotel Pennsylvania last night. The score was 500 to 283, Never In the annals of billiards has there heen such a” crowd outefor a championship game. More than an ~ hout before time for the match to be- &in It was estimated that upward of 2,000 persons were assembled in the lobby leading to the ballroom stairs and elevators and speculators were ‘ asking as high as $18 for a single $3 it. The seating capacity of the room, ,000, was soon taxed and still the owd gathered outside, clamoring for ldfij"&nce. It required extra plain clothes men to guard the doors, for . meyeral attempts were made to rush them. When it was finally necessary 6 alose the doors there were fully 4 persons outside and at lcast 009 fllling every seat and every inch Just before Hoppe and Schaefer d to the tahle to bank for the epeRing shot ,the first picture that has been made during the tournament was . Ohampion Tekes Load Sehaefer had the luck with him at the start, winning the bank for lead. He /pollected the ivories at the foot of the table and at three was compelled to play a wide two cushion which he missed. Then Willie Hoppe failed on a three cushien shot, the opening in- standing 3 to 0. ppe Was’ th rat really to get w-man. Qn his'sacond turn at the [m he put together a massive cluster mounted with great rapidity into figurés for a total of 111. At Mb‘flnnln; of this run the former pion téok 10 cushion shets by v h to nlembla the globes at the Jewer end'of the table. From that on te 40 Hoppe kept the balls clogely bunched. overwork- ¢4 his draw shet for he was timid . about the masse and avoided it when it was the all to evident streke for tien, The first long drivé did not come in this run until 68 when he sent the £ first object sphere on its first round the table journey. At 79 he played a remarkable drive for a kiss at the end that was espe- eially daring. This was one of ;the shets to avoid the faulty masse. 1t was impossible for Heéppe to de &nything other than a-Half manse in order to negotiate the 87th carom. § At this the jiggling, halting stroke; " made its first appearance but - the erowd patiently waited. At 100 he ‘had the glebes at the foot of the table c#ain always gathering them prettily ‘'when they attempted to stray hefore he misséd on a spread draw of ne | great jength. y Schaefer Displays Nerve ' sixUpgiar OwESauqfehot, ctaoin nnn ‘Schaefer had some Hard shots, prob- lems in the way of muitiple cushions | and “English” that tested his nerve on his third visit to the table. He got some discouraging breaks, due par- tially to his poor judgment, as he went on in an attemptito work out a run. He brought off a great follow shot at 13 but the orbs were rolling badly fer him, a draw down the side failing te connect. On Hoppe's adorn- {ng his string with a goose egg on the next turn Schaefer ml.nlnd to colleet 45, Thén follewed a number of unre- munerative innirgs ' for. 'each man. Schacfer started the ninth turn and got the balls nicely together. He was cueing delicately, so gently in fact that at 20 he failed to get legs on the eue ball and it did not make the dis- tance. Hoppe made ofily 21 in his half of this inning. At 18 he had to execute a masse, the shaft moving a total of 43 times on its piston like movement before he could let go for the stroke. It upset Hoppe and he soon missed on a draw. Just after this a spectator rose and specifically requested the referee call the com- piete score at the end of every inning. At that time Schaefer led 182 to 1686. Schaefer was the first to break the séquence of these uncertainly played innings. He put together a great cluster of 68 as he began the 10th frame. He started at the head of the table, operating freely -and rapidly until he had passed into the last stages of the run. ' His 46th tally was & spiral masse with thé orbs resting on the cushion. Later he rolied the Balls to the foot of the table where he was éngaged in compiling the eounts by alternated short drives to the side rails. [ventually there was a scattering of the ivories, Schacfer retiring bécause of a faulty cushion shot. Hoéppain his half of the inning soon eollected the spheres at the lower end | of the table. He finally rolled thém to a line up at 40 and then bungled the attempt at A kiss carom. Schaefer fed him’' by 250 to 206 on the total score. o) Hoppe made it evident that there was still a stiff backhone to his play whatever might be the trouble with his arm. A masterful cluster of 188 gitested this on his 11th turn at the fable, It was in its chief elements a miasterpiece In the way of deadball " driving. Curiously enough it was a . #hot of this deseription that event- ~ ually brought the run to an end. He had a shot in which the cue ball only had to move three inches, Hoppe Goes Into Fead 8till he failed to make the distance and gave way to Schaefer. The high #pots in this imppsing collection, and it was all built upon his skill at gath- ering shots, was a [great bank half the width of the table Ifgr the 83rd count, Two wonderful sphead draws added Erilliancy to the 67th and 6%th taliles respectively. At 96 Hoppe was rolling the orbs so delicately’ n}u they froze, Manager is Grieved at Siki’s Actums Nov, ¢ (By . Assoclated Press)—M, Hellers, manager of Bat- (ling Siki in an interview published In I’Auto says he accepts the actlon of the I'rench boxing federation in with- drawing the license of the Sencgalese and gsserts: “By my work I made him ‘a world champlon; I should have liked by my advice to mgke him a gentleman,” The newegpaper learns that Siki's Ii- cense was cancelled because of the Loxer's assault on ‘the manager of Maurice Brunier and because of his behavior in public places in Paris and in the provinces, “By this fault Siki makes us lose all the profits of the victory over Car- penti eaid Hellers in an inter- view, “that is to.say at least 4,000,000 franes, which 1s not bad and all the gporting honers, which is better, T understand that the federation is ob- liged te guard the interests of boxing before pergonal interests and that is why I accept the decision.

Hoppe is not retiring in pique or bitterness of spirit. His time has come. Old age is not the .reaper. Hoppe's cue arm has what Dilliard players call the “can't let goes.'™ In other words, his arm has gone back on him and he is not the master he was once. Heé has had the trouble for several years. He is not expected to appear in public again armed with a GETS PERFECT SCORE | “Ted” Moniér Displays- Fine Skill With, Riflo. in. New Britain-Middie- field Match Last Night. T. L.

T. Houk of the Yale Navy, head cheer leader, and lustily uncorking individual vol- leys of -yells for every player, for Captain Jordan and Head Coach James. The Yald*brass band and the college Glee club were on hand to add to the din. The players were taken in automobiles through the streets, fol- lowed by the crowd. The procession dispersed at the campus, but the play- ers procgeded to thée Bowl, where in the gathering dusk they ran through signals for half an hour, Mallory Shows Improvement. Bill Mallory has shown rapid im- provement since Saturday, and was restored to the fullback assignment. It is practically certain that he will start the Harvard game, although both Henry Scott and Eddie Bench replacéd him for a few minutés in that position 'thid afternoon. Scott's play at Princeton,’until he was ih- Jjured, was highly creditable. The coaches are inciined to start Newell Neidlinger at quarterbdack, Ted Wight at left halfback and Captain Jordan at_right halfback. The slight musecle bruise which led to keeping Wight on the side lines at Princeton has disappeared and the eoaches favor installing hm.in the Iineup to bring a punting .game to Harvard at the ' outset. Charley O’Hearn suffered ne injury against Princeton and the coaches are Hold- ing him and George Becket in rescrve for a series of emergency plays against the Crimson.

L Buell Will Play. Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 22,—Neith- er Captain Byell of Harvard nor Suh- stitute Quarterback Dhil Spalding was in playing togs on Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon for Harvard's short but very spirited drill. Buell worked out Monday when the foot- ing was soft; but took no chances yes- terday ‘on ground which had been hardened by the sudden cold. That he will start the Yale game is re- garded as certain. Spalding also will pbe able to play if he is needed. But both the firgt string quarters are con- sidéred “brittie” by the coachés, and they will do no more work than 18 to the Bowl. Buell and Spalding haw been shoewn to be indispénsable yto the team this year. For a loeng time Buell was the enly man who could Spalding has rapidly improved in the past four weeks.
