However, at this time, instead of two of the leading players of the billiard world, there is to be the leading player himself, when World's Champion Jake Schaefer plays 400 points of 18.2 balkiine with another man almost on a par, the French champion Roger Conti. Again in the evening these two men will perform for the local enthusiasts. Men like Welker Cochran and E~d- ouard Horemans who gave an exhibi- tion here sereval weeks ago showed billiards never before beaten in Ann Arbor,but here are menwho rank still higher than this pair, and one who has attained the pinnacle in billiardom. It is a rare treat to see a world's cham- pion in any sport, but the Union of- fers a world's champion and the cham- pion of France playing a match against each other. Sebaefer's Play Original The stroke used by most of the leading players is. different from Schaefer's for instead of keeping his arm close to the body he uses a side arm stroke which enables him to get better results when nursing the balls. He -also is individual in that he changes his style of bridging to suit the kind of a shot he is making. For shots of some distance he uses the ordinary spread finger type, but for close shots where it is necessary to get an accurate draw without using much force he forms .a bridge by doubling up his fingers under his palm. He is always striving to improve his game and always carefully watches his opponent's play to gain anything that he can from him. He is more serious than the majority of profes- sional players and the expression on his face when he misses a shot shows how keenly he feels it. His original- ity in difficult shots is a decided factor in his play and this has many times pulled him out of holes that would have been too much for another. Conti is Feared Conti is a billiardist of no mean abil- ity and is feared by the best men of both continents. Although only 20 years of age he is already champion of France and is contesting Horeman's claim to the championship of Europe on the grounds that the Belgian has been unwilling to meet him in Europe. The Frenchman has undoubtedly a bright future, for he is one of the most promising of the younger play- ers. In a year or two he will cause even more fear among the ranks of cue artists, for the billiards he plays now, combined with a year or two more of experience should be a winningi combination. The tournament at Chi- cago last November was his first, and he showed such billiards that he fin-; ished fourth there against one of the best fields ever seen. To ]feet Hioppe Schaefer will defend his title against the former holder, Hoppe, in April, the result of a challenge issued right after the Chic_!go tournament where he gained his victory. It was agreed at that time that the winner was notl fto be forced to risk his title until six: months after the affair, and HoppeI who had insised on this rule, because he was sure of winning, had to stickl by it when Schaefer unexpectedly wrested the title from him after he had it for many years. It is inter- esting to learn that this is net the first of the family to be world's champion for "Old Jake" Schaefer, the father, was once the title holder as was the father of Hoppe.
