IS AFTER CUE CHAMPIONSHIP

George Sutton, Chicago Billlardlst, 'Want* to Play Willie Hoppe for the World’* Title. George Sutton, the Chicago billiard* Ist, has challenged Willie Hoppe for the championship, and these two cue experts are expected to meet before long and fight for mastery. Sutton had not been in good health for some

time and has not cut much figure in billiard circles for a year or more. Now he Is back in former shape and Is ready to give the young champion a hard battle for the 18.1 or 18.2 title. Sutton, when at his best, Is one of the greatest performers with the cue ta

the world. He is noted for the long brilliant runs which he executes on the greencloth table. He has defeated Hoppe, Slosson, Cutler and all of the other cue stars in matches and has held the title of world’s champion. He is Hoppe’s strongest rival in the game today. Billiard lovers will await his match with Hoppe with keen interest.
