from the m~ountainside and dropping
at a sharp angle down the line, sped
suspended between heaven and earth.
At a distance on the desert, the
Shay engine Of the Neighbor mipe was
toiliEg slowly along when the engineer
saw the figure OF a woman clinging to
the aerial carriage of the Superstition
mine as it shot through the air down
to the valley. Breathless, he watched
the wild flight, expecting every instant
to see the slender creature let go, to
fall, crushed, to the rock below her.
But Helen did not let go. Hanging
on with a desperation born Of the re-
alization that she must save the i'm
prisoned men, She shot across the dan
gerons decliyity from top to bottom
and without mishap. jumped in safety
to the foot of the aerial and dashed
away for help. She ran toward the
little railroad, tagged the engine, got
INTO the cab, and struggling for breath,
apprised the crew of the accident. The
engineer h%urriedly started the engine
back to their own mine. Forcing all
the speed that he could get, and with
Halen urging him to spare no effort,
he made the engine bump along over
the joints as il never had done before.
A dozen times, before they reached
their destination, it seemed as il the
sturdy little machine must turn tur-
tie.
Jumping from the cab the moment
the Shay stopped, Helen told OF the
disaster. Men ran in from all quar-
tiers, and their foreman-an active
fellow-gave directions about getting
the stuff they should need to work
with at the cave-in. With the least
possible loss Of time. these neces-
saries were assembled and the train
loaded with men started back.

Hoppe changes his stance after ev.

rule, even though his succeeding shot
is SO simple that he could make it with
his eyes closed. Hopes theory is
that by changing stance it gives the
muscles a chance to slip back into
their original position so that when he
calls upon them for the next shot they
will answer readily and normally.

draw shot is the most valuable in a
game of Billiards. When player has
reached the point where he has con-
troll and a good draw shot he is on
his way toward the championship
class. A draw shot is the basis for

Hoppe leaped into international
fame ten or eleven years ago when he
went to France and surprised the en-
tire billiard world by beating Vignaux,
the wonderful Frenchman. Hoppe
was a mere boy at the time-still in
his teens-and the wise ones de
clared that his victory was fluke.
But events since then have shown
that it wasn't a f1uke victory: they
have shown that Hoppe is the greatest
billiard player of this age and in the
opinion of many, the greatest in the
long history of the cue game.

THE person who wants to succeed
in billiards must have perfect control
of the muscles in the wrist, he must
have perfect eye for measuring dis.
lance, and speed and, above all else,
he never must get careless.
So says Willie Hoppe, the cham
pion of all champions in the cue
world-the most wonderful billiard
player in the game today. Hoppe has
been playing the game since he was
a lad in knickerbockers. Five years
ago he seemed to have reached abso-
Lutte perfection. But every year since
then he has gone beyond-has per.
formed so brilliantly, so wonderfully
that it seems that he is miracle
worker.

championship class many men who

he grows careless with an easy shot
before him-and frequently he falls
down. Early in my career I saw the
mistake that others made and | re-

as much care in playing an easy shot
as lard one.
Perfect control Of all the wrist
muscles, in my mind, is the main es-
sential to billiard success. Unless this

game, the lack of control of even the

really depends upon the muscular con-
troll. If man has his muscles under
control he can send ball just as far
