Chicago Interesting literature as a

makes the assertion that his scheme

seasickness and adds that, while his
travelling companions are in the throes

reading, unmindful of the rise and
fall of the vessel.

Willie Hoppe, billiard champion of
the world, and his bride Of a few
weeks were much excited the other
day over a report that he had an
nounced his retirement from the game
because of the objections of his wife
and father-in-laW.
The story was that Thomas w.
Walsh, a wealth Baltimore dry goods
manufacturer, with whose daughter
Alice young Hoppe e1oped in. Deem
Der, insisted on his son-in-laW's with
drawal from professional billiards to
go into the dry goods business and
that the champion Of the cue intended
giving up the game.
Its all nonsense said Hoppe.
Neither my wife nor my father-in-
law objects to billiards. Why, I
couldn't make living any other way.
Dry goods? Why, I don't know a bale
Of cloth from an aefoplane.

was when I told my manager that I

month since our marriage, and natur-

Hoppe was born Oct II, 1887, IN
Cornwall on the Hudson. His father
conducted hotel there and the
usual billiard room was a prominent
adjunct in the hostelry. When a mere
child, Willie and his brother Frank
delighted in spending their play time

Much Gambling Carried on BY
Poorest of Children.
Boys Deprive Themselves of Neces-
stiles Of Life TO Place Wagers on
Horse Races Youngsters
Pass coppers to Tout.

London.-T. Fl. Manners Howe con-
tributes an article to the Graphic
which he heads "Demoralized Boy
Workers" and which contains pain
full account of the gambling that goes
on among the poorest of the children
Of this city. 1t is subject that pre-
viously has been little investigated,
and Mr.. Howe's article has created
an unpleasant sensation.
Mr.. Howe describes how friend of
his, the manager Of a large London
warehouse, found one of the boys en-
ployed In it in dead faint. He made
an investigation, and found that the
boy was earning less than two dollars
a week. He lived with his parents,
who took the greater part of his earn
ings, and allowed him 36 cents week
for his car fare and midday meals.
. Instead of spending the SO cents for
these purposes, however, the boy
walked to and from the office, ate
nothing away from home, and spent
every penny he obtained in backing
horses and in repaying the gutter
usurer" to whom he had been driven
when he got into debt
This boy, says Mr.. Howe, was only
type Of numerous others self
starved, worried young weaklings,
with lives necessarily exposed to the
persistent attacks Of those evil
geniuses Of the street, the penny
bookie and petty Insurer of the gut
ter Mr.. Howe goes on to say: II
have studied this question of juvenile
betting for some years, and have seen
the evil Of it working among the lads.
It has become such profitable busi-
ness that there are bookies who de-
vote themselves to Il exclusively. The
transactions are entirely IN coppers

tended to them from all parts Of the
country.
frank developed a left handed
stroke, while Willie worked right
handed. Their father and mother al
so accompanied the youngsters on all
their trips and gave exhibitions Of
billiard playing.
At the age of 6 years, Willie was
allowed to play with the billiard
worries and he developed SO rapidly
that to those who witnessed his play
ing it was only question of time
when he would be the worlds master.
His rise in the billiard world was not
only rapid, but almost phenomenal.
No man, not even the renowned Ives,
showed such skill in the manipula-
tons of the balls, the accuracy Of his
drive shots, and such perfect knoWl-
edge of the angles.
His playing was watched closely by
ID -
all the old time champions Schaefer,
who was known as the wizard was
practically the first to see the great
future in Willie and obtaiIed the con-
sent Of his parents to allow the young
ster to accompany him on his tours
Hoppe attributes his success to
close application to practice, regular
living, going to sleep and rising as
early as possible. He is fond of long
walks, which he takes every day IN
all sorts Of weather, after which he
will spend several hours in practice.
His advice to all players who desire
to improve their game, is to take a
few lessons from some good instruc-
tor. The fundamental principles must
be learned in order to develop; the
rest will then take care Of itself with
practice.

CERTAIN OF LARGE STADIUM
Chicago University Students Expect
TWO Athletic Buildings as Re-
suit of Gift.

Material athletic expansion at the
University of Chicago may be one OF
the early results of John D. Rockefel-
1er's gift of $1O,0O0,000 to the Maroon
institution. Members OF the depart
ment of physical culture admit that
the long-wished-for stadium and a new
gymnasium for the women students
might follow the oil kings generosity.
The matter will be considered by the
university board of trustees.
Under the terms of Mr. Rockefel-
ler's donation the university authori-
ties will be allowed to construct build
ings for the use of any existing depart
ment, while all new departments are
to be made possible by other gifts. Al
though the trustees assert that build
ing expansion is not probable in the
near future owing to the university's
wish to give the first installments of
the s1O,o00,ooO for endowment pur-
poses, the ultimate erection of the
needed buildings is assured. The Off
Gals stated that they would reach no
decision on the building question until
later s
IL the members of the board decide
to take advantage of Mr.. Rockefeller's
permission, the Midway school will
have the costliest and most complete
department OF athletics in the coun-
try The physical culture experts be-
lieve that the additional buildings are
necessities.
President Harry Pratt Judson names
the stadium and the women's gymna-
SUM as two Of the four most needed
features of the uniyersity's material
growth, the other two being building
for the use Of the department Of geol-
ogy and geography and an astronomi-
cal observatory on the campus for the
use of the students.
The location of the prospective sta
dunn has not been fixed. Coach Stage

a single penny. But he has to pay
for the privilege by submitting to a
severe handicap, which, although Of
fering the bait Of a proportionately
large prize, places nearly all the
chances in the hands Of the bookie.
This handicap is embodied in
what is known as the composite sys-
tenn. That is to say, the boy is com
PEELED to spot three placed horses in
three separate races. He is not al
lowed, when betting in coppers, to
win by backing one horse only. His
task is of course, much harder one,
and his chances of losing his money
far greater.
In spite Of this, however, the lads,
with wages averaging from IS to los
a week, most of which goes to their
parents, literally swarm around these
pestilent tempters, who haunt the en-
frances to the big warehouses and
printing establishments. At the
crowded dinner hour, when the streets
are fullest of hustle. the youngsters
pass their coppers and slips of paper
into the ready hands Of the tout, dart
ing away with their heads full of the
prospect of a win or the tip for some
fresh race which he tout has conf
dentially impaired.
Only a little while ago friend OF
mine was standing idly at a street
corner looking about him, when sud
denly a small, dingy-looking lad thrust
something into his hand and instantly
bolted. My friend found he had been
presented with a couple Of coppers
wrapped in a piece Of paper inscribed
with the names Of three horses en-,
tered for as many forthcoming races.
He had evidently been mistaken for

possessed Of two personalities. con-
scious and subconscious. It is held
that when a person is asleep the con-
scious personality is at rest and the
subconscious is predominant, hence
dreams are the natural Interpretation
of the repressed ideas of the subcon-
scious personality
Dream analysis is the chief
method employed in the diagnosis
which affords a guide to the proper
treatment of the disease
In completeness of Its equipment
the ward is without parallel in the
world and it Is believed that it will
bring much light on the treatment OF
nervousness, an affection SO common
In this country that it has come to
be known among physicians as the
American disease
Psycho-analysis will be practiced in
the hospital by DR.. Trigant Burrow,
who has been studying this science
for three years in Europe under Doc
tor Freud and Doctor Jung Of Zurich,
Switzerland, who are authorities.
The treatment aims at the unifica-
ton of the personalities. Knowing
the wishes and wants Of the conscious
personality as derived from the con-
versation Of the patient, there remain
to be ascertained the wishes and
wants of the subconscious personality.
The principle Of the school is that
there turks in every dream, often dis
guised, a depressed wish for fulfill
ment.
Although this phase of the treat
ment of nervous diseases will be In
the hands Of Doctor Burrow, 1t is due
in great part to the efforts Of DR..
Adolf Meyer, head of the department
for the treatment of neurotic disease,
that the ward will be established
Doctor Meyer is a native of Zurich,
Switzerland. He came to Johns Hop
kins last year from the New York
