HOPPE HAS CLOSE ESCAPE
DURING BILLIARD MATCH


THE most startling experience Of
my bhliard career was during my 1871
match with Maurice Vignaux, the great
French player, which took place In
Paris i'm 1906" said Willie Hoppe re-

the object OF strengthening his heart

ponent frequently poured water out OF
the pitcher into a glass and drank IL
sparlngly, and so when about the
middle OF the contest my throat be-
came dry | walked up to the stand
on which the pitcher stood and start.

who was sitting close to the table,
arose and, selling my hand, said ex-

one OF the most formidable players in
the world.

Sporting Department
WINTfR SPORTS ARE NOW
POPULAR In METROPOLIS
Skating, and Skiing Occupy the
Attention Of Copper Coun-
try People.
HEAVY is SNOW APPRECIATED

Heavy snow of late has filled the
hearts Of adherents of one form of
winter sport with gee.
Ice brought enjoyment to skaters;
the light fall of snow filled the hearts
of the youngsters with joy and cash
drawers OF merchants with coin; but
the abundance of snowy white the last
week has given another contingent
their day, namely. the skiers.
Skiing is the great national sport
of Norway. In that country it is en-
joyed by people of all ages. The
native of Norway who cannot feel at
home on skis is almost an outcast.
Skiing is said to be like flying on
wings or i'm an airship, except that you
are closer to earth and are liable to
come i'm contact with it more frequent
ly. To the beginner II is a series of
falls and bumps, but to the man who
has mastered the art and in the eyes
of Norsemen II is an art-skiing is the
most graceful and delightful move
ment that man has experienced.
on the long, well built skis the ex-
pert glides over hills and through
wales at great rapidity. Small sheds
or barbed wire fences are no hind
rance. If IL is not convenient to go
around them there always is the pos
sibility of jumping over and nine times
out of ten this is done. In fact, the
successful skier must not only be
able to maintain his equilibrium, but
also have the ability to surmount any
obstacle or building.
One of the essentials to successful
skiing is warmth. Unless the experts
don the warmest clothing they are
likely to find themselves in some for
lorn part OF the country with biting
winds and cold coming on with great
er rapidity than il takes to trace the
course back. For this reason the
clothes which the skiers wear are as
much of q characteristic of the hardy
Norsemen as their ability to master
the narrow pieces of wood. Only that
which gives the greatest worth, re-
CARELESS of appearance. is worn. Both
men and women wear leggings. as
they must be prepared for emergencies
with perchance the shoes cut in too
deep and they do not want to be
spilled" Warm caps, gloves and
coats are essential to brave the cold
and winds which are experienced in
the cross country fights.

BILLY ROCHE. POSED

Just now there is considerable in
terest as to who may referee the JEFF
fries-Johnson match next July. Ad-
ditional interest is manifested because
Of the published statement by Jack
Johnson as to his desire to have Tied
dy' Roosevelt, ex-president, as third
man in the ring.
One of three men now known as ia
nous referees will be chosen. These
three are Eddie Smith, Billy Roche and
Jack WEIGH. Roche has been prom
inently mentioned for the job. He is a
capable man and is trusted by all in
the fight game. In his many, years as
referee Roche had only one "holler'
against him. That was when he de-
clared Ketchel victor over Billy Papke
at San Francisco. Papke says ne de-
served the decision. However. fans at
the ringside declared Roche's decision
was the proper one.

MICHIGAN TRAINER TALKS
ABOUT BASKETBALL GAME
.Keene Fitzpatrick Says Players
Should Begin by Short
Fast Practice.
MUST BE In GOOD HEALTH

Ann Arbor, Mich, Jan. 25.-"The
man hest fitted by nature for basket
hall Is the tall man who possesses en-
durance and quickness of mind and
bodv." said Keene Fitzpatrick. trainer
NJ Michigan athletes, recently.
81 do not say that height Is neces-
sary for there are some crackerjack
basket -ballers who lack inches. But
anyone with a knowledge of the game
can see the tall mans advantage
when IT comes to reaching and throw
ing for baskets. Given the man, he
must be trained. first for his own safe
ty and secondly for the safety of the
game and his teammates.
But he, himself, comes first. No
man with weak lungs or whose breath
ing is faulty, should attempt basket
ball or for that matter, any athletic
exercise. until the ailment is over
come. The same prohibition applies
TO heart trouble even though the affllc-
ton many appear to the person af-
fected nothing more than an irregu-
arity in breathing. There is always
a cause for such irregularity, and, un-
iii that cause is removed to attempt
athletics might prove disastrous.
"The best preparatory work for bas-
ketball is practice of quick starting;
running and regular practice comes
next Much time should be devoted to
dribblng and passing the ball. At first
the players should not spend more than
five minutes in the game. Let them
learn TO play fast and furious for five
minutes, and gradually lengthen the
playing period to the full time. Too
much time cannot be devoted to shoot
ing for baskets. Out-of- door exercise,
such as walking and skating, is SPLEEN
did Anything that brings into play
the muscles of the back, legs and arms
is good.
Dieting takes n foremost part in
the training of athletes. Men in train
ing should not eat anything fried pas
try pork, sausages, etc. They may eat
cereals, bread and butter. beef, chick
en-. lamb or mutton chops. eggs Eek
cept fried. soups, certain buildings,
like tapioca, rice, custard or bread, ice
cream AT least twice q week, milk
and plenty of water. Tea and coffee,
smoking and drinking intoxicating
liquor must be absolutely barred from
an athletes diet. Hours for eating
should be regular through the train
ing period. And the same regularity
should be observed as to sleep. Plenty
Of sleep in well-ventilated rooms is
essential '--'-
Basketball is not recommended as
a parlor pastime, especially IL one
counts upon the element of danger.
1t is somewhat rougher than DOM
inoes.
For this reason every player should
undergo n thorough physical examin-
alton by one competent to give II. be-

many falls must be counted upon in
the furious play that makes the game
