HOPPE RUNS OUT GAME FROM SPOT- j
250 POINTS IN ONE INNING—
APPONET DOESN’T PLAY A SHOT
_ — — lirtiiTM——
Willie Hoppe, champion of the
world, appeared before Han Francisco
billiard followers for the first time in
nearly a year recently. The local
lovers of the cue sport turned out in
goodly numbers and came away more
strongly convinced than ever that
Hoppe is the greatest billiard player
that ever lived.
Hoppe, in his first effort before a
San Francisco crowd, set a new
world's record and showed in his best
form. The world’s champion played
grand billiards and he made the re
iiuired 250 points in his 18.2 halklinc
match in a single inning. Hoppe's
remarkable run sets new world's
Agues in a halklinc game from the
•spot.
Young Jake Schaefer of Chicago the
son of the late star of the cue, was
Hoppe's opponent. Willie might as
welt been playing John the Junkman,
or Professor Hlooey, or Ad Kantell,
who saw the nfatch. Schaefer was
the champion's opponent in name only
for he assumed the role of a spec
tator and was not even called Upon to
chalk up.
It is a pleasure to watch Hoppe
operate and unlike many other stars
hts work does not drag with lost
time studying shots. The champion
knows just where the balls are going
to rest for his next shot and the
speed with which he executes each
effort is a pleasing feature of his play.
Only once was Hoppe In a tight
position that made it look like his
remarkable run was over. The dif
flcult situation arose when he had
clicked off 247 points and needed three
more to cinch the ' world’s record.
Hoppe completed the shot that total
ed 247 and sent the balls across the
table, holding the cue ball in the cor
ner. He put a little too much speed
on tile stroke and instead of coming
back into position for an easy shot
the three halls lined up on the long
rail with the cue ball Jammed directly
in the corner and the other two in
close proximity.
Iloppe shook his head when he real
ized that it looked bad for the record
but he was not long in deciding on
what to do. He worked his way out
of the tight place with a shot that is
known to billiard experts as a “forced
masse.” The cue ball curved from the
corner ami made the difficult carom,
drawing round after round of applause
The other two points were easy and
the first trace of a smile showed on
Hoppe’s face as he made his 250.
Charles C. Peterson of St. Louis,
and Harry A. "Chick” Wright, the
San Francisco expert, followed Hoppe’s
remarkable run with a three-cushion
match that held t He interest of the
spectators. The match was a fifteen
point affair and Peterson went out
while Wright tallied eight points. The
Eastern crack was off to a poor start
and Wright established a lead of five
to one. Petorsoon’s game became
more accurate as the match went
along while Wright slackened in the
pace he had set in the early Innings.
Peterson finally took the lead at 9 to

NEW YORK, N. Y.—Most people
foolishly seem to think they are go
ing to get renewed heulth and
strength from some stimulating medi
cine secret nostrum or naracotic drug,
Bald Dr. Sauer, a Specialist who has
studied widely both in this country
and Europe when, as a matter of fact,
real and true strength can only come
from the food you eat. But people
often fail to get the strength nut of
their food because they haven't
enough iron in their blood to enable
it to change food into living matter.
From their weakened, nervous condi
tion they know something is wrong
but they can’t tell what, so they gen
erally commence doctoring for stom
ach, liver or kidney trouble or sym
ptoms of some other ailment caused
by the lack of Iron in the blood. ThlB
thing may go on for years, while the
patient suffers untold agony. If you
are not strong or well, you owe it to
yourself to make the following test:
See how long you can work or how
far you can walk without becoming
tired. Next take two five-grain
tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three
times per day after meals for two
weeks. Then test your strength again
and see for yourself how much you
have gained. I have seen dozens of
nervous, run-down people who were
ailing all the while, double their
strength and endurance and entirely
get rid of all Bymptoms of dyspepsia,
liver and other troubles In from ten
.o fourteen days' time simply by tak
ing iron In the proper form. And this

after they had in some cases been
doctoring for months without obtain
ing any benefit. Hut don't take the
old forms or reduced iron. Iron acetate
or tincture of iron simply to save a
few cents. You must take iron in a
form that can be eusily absorbed and
assimilated like nuxated iron if you
want it to do you any good, other
wise it may prove worse than useless.
Many .an athlete or prize-fighter has
won the day simply because he knew
the secret of great strengtti and en
durance and tilled his blood with iron
before lie went into the affray, while
many another has gone down to In
glorious defeat simply for the lack
of iron.
Note.—Nuxated Iron recommended
above by Dr. Sauer is not a patent
medicine nor secret remedy, but one
which is well known to druggists and
whose iron constituents is widely pre
scribed by eminent physicians every
where. Unlike the older inorganic
iron products, it is easily assimilated,
does not Injure the teeth, make them
black, nor upset the stomach; on the
contrary, it is a most potent remedy,
in nearly all forms of indigestion, us
well as for nervous, run-down condi
tions. The Manufacturers have such
great confidence In Nuxated Iron that
they offer to forfeit $100.00 to any
charitable institution if they cannot
take any inan or women under 60
who lacks iron nnd increase their
strength 200 per cent or over in four
weeks' time provided they have no
serious organic trouble. They also
offer to refund your money if it does
not at least double your strength and
endurance in ten days' time. It is
dispensed in this city by Uonten Bros.,
(successors to Hutler, Mauro & Co.),
and all other druggists.
8 anil when Wright missed on the next
shot the St. Louis man gave a fine
exhibition and made the necessary
six points without a miss. Peterson's
trick shots astonished the crowd. In
this line he has no equal. Peterson
makes shots that no other bllllardist
has ever attempted.
"Chick" Wright in his lecture, lets ;
the "novices," as he calls them, in on
many a shot the experts use.
Hoppe continued his brilliant bil
liards in the evening and defeated ]
Wright at 18.2 balkline. Although |
he took three innings to gather his' 1
250 points, Hoppe's playing was \
aupermas'erly. He scored 4 points
in the first inning, 72 in the second :
and completed the match with an
unfinished run of 175.
Wright made 5 points in each of
the two innings he played.
I’eterson scored his second three
cushion victory when he won from
Schaefer, 15 to 13.
