By a twhst of fate the new 18.2 title holder is it~ ing by what Hoppe thought he lt would when he made ai ents: for the recent tournament In Chicago. Hoppe’s manager, Mr. Benjamin, 11 serted in the rules of the tournament that the victor would not be compelled to defend his title until March, Benja- min and Hoppe probably figured the title would remain in their possession another fifteen years, and their motive for inserting the new clause was that they might profit by exhibition play- ing until March. Now Young Schaefer gets the exhibition privileges. Schaefer will arrive here Monday and will practise at Maurice Daly's, Broadway and 48th Street,, On Mon- day, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs- day afternoons and evenings of next week the son bf the one time famous wizard will meet Roger Conti, bil- liard champion of France. Charles ‘Tenne, manager of the new 182 cham- pion, also guided the affaira of his famous father. He considers young Jake a much better player than his father ever was. His dad had the fault of not keeping in the best of physical condition, a fault of the billiardists of years ago. In tech- nique Jake jr, is the superior of his famous sire. AS a masse platyer he is even greater than Horemana, the Belgian star. In Chicago he made @ record run of 480; in Philadelphia he clicked off 317; in Cleveland 806, and recently in New York 486. These high runs, says Tenpe, stamp him not only greater than his father, but the greatest billiard player in the world to-day.
