OT since the time that Dorando, N the running baker of Naples, came ver to this country and Mara: thoned his way co fame have the Ita! fans in this city been so interested in sporting performer as they are in James Maturo, who'll meet Alfred De Oro, the Cuban, in the opening night's play for the world’s pool title at Doyle’a to- night. When the awarthy little son of Italy bbidly chatlenged the veteran well the barbers simply declared @ holiday and began to do some tall fig- uring. And they think so well of Ma- turo that they have sent large sums of money to wager on him against De Oro, notwithteanding the Cuban rules a sigh: favorite decause of his wider experience. James Maturo didn’t recently arrive He's lived in Uncle Gam's land the greater part of his Hfe, coming here when a youth.

MATURO USED TO SLEEP ON THE POOL TABLES. The proprietor of the shop where Maturo worked ran @ small poolroom annex, and the sight of the ivories jumping around the table had a strange fascination for the young Italian, Every spare minute he had Maturo would spend at the tables. His love for the game steadily increased, and so fond waa he of shooting the balls into the pockets that it was known around the neighborhood that he made a bed of one of the tables at night in order to aneak in @ little practice before the boss got around in the morning.

Later Maturo turned Professional, and in 193 won the city championship. Maturo was compelled to sell his pool- foom in Jersey City because of his wife's illness, and in 1904 he moved to Denver. Western critics were loud in thelr praise of the young Italian's playing, and he was soon appointed “professional” of the Denver Athletic | Club, whioh boasts of many crack ama- teurs. Maturo’s ability with the cw came @o marked that the topnotchers were forced to take notice. Maturo played ‘his first big match two years ago in Denver with De Oro. ‘fhe Cuban, then at the top of his game, good naturedly Maturo a handicap of 9 balls out of 600, But what @ mistake!

No champlonshMfp was at stake, but the Denver sporting cleaned up by backing their man. } turo again defeated De Oro last spring fn the world's championship ‘tourna- ment in Philadelphia. There is almost twenty years difference in the of Maturo and De Oro. Matuno has fust crossed thirty-three and probably because of his lighter years plays a more spectacular game than the veteran champion, who is a crafty per- former, very deliberate and forseeing in every move.
