Don't Be Careless THAT is Willie Hopes Law oftaws
In Billiard Code--Keen Eye and Muscle Control Aid
Champion Says Draw
Shot Is Worth Most
of All

NEW YORK. Dec. THE per
sen who wants TO succeed in bil
lizards must have perfect control OF
the muscles in the wrist, he mus;
have a perfect eve for measuring
distance and speed. and. aboye~all
else, be never must get careless.
SO says Willie Hoppe. the cham.
pion OF all champions in the cue
Vorld-the most wonderful billiard
player In the game today Hoppe
has been playing the game since
be was a lad in kuickerbockers
Five years ago he seemed 10 have
reached absolute perfection. But
every year since then he has gone
beyond-has performed so brilliant.
Iy. so wonderfully. that II seeEs
that he is a miracle worker
"Carelessness has kept out OF the
championship class many men whs
had wonderful. natural skill with
the cue. said Hoppe. The great.
est trouble with the average bill
HARDEST is that he grows careless
with an easy shot before him-snd
frequently he falls down Early in
my career saw the MISTAKE ti1at
others made and resolved that /
always would exercise as much care
in playing an easy shot as a hard

Perfect control OF all the wrist
muscles, in my mind. is the main

acquired fully-one cannot become
real billiardist because. in critical
moments In a game, the lack OF

Judgment Of speed and distance
really depend upon the muscular
control. II a man has his muscles
under control he can send a ball
just as far and as fast as he wants
II he hasn't his speed and distance
calculations often go awry.'
Hoppe changes his stance after
every shot. He never deyiates from
that rule. even though his succeed

make II with his eyes closed. Hop
pes theory IS that by changing dis

ton so that when he calls upon
them for the next shot they will
answer readily and normally.
I'm my opinion" said Hoppe. the
draw shot Is the most valuable In
a game OF billiards. when player
has reached the point where he has
control and a good draw shot he is
on his way toward the championship
class. A draw shot is the basis for
all the variations OF English"
Hoppe declared that playing for
position is merely matter OF prac-
tice.
The rule OF Billiards IS simple"
he said. Keep the balls as close
" together as possible so that II

Acquiring position consistently needs

tasks, one was taken to the reef about
a half-mile from Lahaina and kept

as regards the appearance of the case.
