See what kind of grip Willie Hoppe and Jake Schaefer had on the world of billiards in the 1920s. Unusual pair of photos features them lining up shots in a championship -- the legendary Hoppe in the light suit on the left and the upstart Schaefer on the right. Crop marks are drawn on both 6x8"images with verso Fotograms stamp. Straight-shot photo has detailed typewritten captions attached. Pool aficionados should not get left behind the eight ball on this one. Each photo has a small tear, otherwise VG.
