HOPPE, BILLIARD CHAMPION OF WORLD.

14.2 balkline. Thus when he beat
Vgnaux it was natural to say, II told
you So"
Compared to Ives.
Hoppe has often been compared to
Frank Ives. Ives was n meteor in the
billiard zenith that flashed into view
20 years ago, but he had nothing In
common with Hoppe. Before he be-
came a great cueist Ives had tried his
hands at many things, while Hoppe
has been at the green cloth game his
entire life. Previous to becoming a
bi%lliardist Ives had been a Jockey, BIZ
cycle rider. racetrack bo0kmaker, roll
er skater, in fact a jack-of-all-trades.
Ives was a wonderful SHOEMAKER, me
of the most spectacular in the history
Of the game, but he reached the
proficiency of Hoppe in handling the
cue.
Hopes billiards are the same to
him as religion. Although he prob
ably knew Sutton could not give him
a hard battle in the st. Louis match,
Hoppe trained faithfully for the con-
test, starting the middle Of August.
First he played alone on a set sched-
ule of each day and in the last two
weeks Of his training took on "Chick".
Wright, a well-known San Francisco
cueist, to polish off his preparatory
work. While he loves to golf, Hoppe
refuses to play the game for fear it
would spoil his touch with the cue, as
|. Is more rigorous exercise.

Six names of GUESTS r pointed to
in the billiard hall of fame, Willie
Hoppe. George Sutton. George Slos-
son, Jake Schaeffer, Maurice vignaux
and Frank Ives. OF the six but three
are living. Ives, vignaux and Schaefer
having passed on. Slosson. an old
man, is no longer in the running. Re-
Gently Hoppe put Sutton in the same
class and today the worlds balkline
champion at all distances stands in a
class by himself, without a single
balkline player being able to give him
a good battle. Sutton has been a great
player and is the only n who ever
defeated Hoppe for the 1871 crown.
Sutton is still a skillful billiardist, but
Hoppe has improved SO steadily that
the veteran looked like a novice In
their recent meet.
Holds Worlds Titles.
Hoppe holds both the 1871 and 1872
worlds titles. The 1871 game is en-
tirely too difficult for even the cham
pion, and has been discarded. Hoppe
took the 1871 crown from vignaux In
Paris when the Frenchman was So and
Hoppe 40 years his Junior. Sutton
wrested this title from Hoppe, but
the latter regained 1t at the expense
of Ora Morningstar.
From almost infancy Willie's life
has been devoted to billiards. He was
able to beat his father at pocket bill
lizards before he was, six years old.
When he was ten he averaged 10 at

enough money left In the players
pool to give each player on the second
place clubs $500.
"Graded down we could give each
third place player $500 each, each
fourth place player $500, fifth place
player $3.50, sixth place 5000, seventh
place player $50 and eighth place
800. This schedule might be subject
to revision, but l believe the various
sums would approximate about these
amounts.
by distributing this annual reward
we would create an incentive for all
the players to try to finish as high as
possible.
"All the club owners in both leagues
now share In the worlds series, so why
shouldn't all the players7 Twenty
five per cent Of the money earned on
the series by each club is turned over
to its league and this reduces each
clubs assessment.
II also believe by extending the Sc
ries to nine games We could reduce the
prices of admission"

RAILROAD TRACK PULLED UP
Use Of Tractor Makes It Unnecessary
to Remove Rails From Ties
Work Done Speedily.

A steam tractor was employed re-
Gently to pull up a stretch Of aban-
doned railroad track in a street, In
Redlands, Cal, which was about to be
paved, says Popular Mechanics Maya.
zine. The city, having decided to i'm
prove this thoroughfare, which was
once a railroad right of way, desired
to remove the rails and ties in the
quickest possible manner, with not too
great expense.
The plan Of employing a. tractor
made it unnecessary to remove the
rails from the ties, or to laboriously
pry the structure loose by hand. Be-
fore the engine was hitched to the
track, some of the dirt between the
ties was removed, and the tractor was
then able to pull out sections about
70 feet long with considerable rapid
fty. In two days over a mile Of track
was torn up.

BECOME BIG SPORT
TRAPsAooTlNo HAS 10000 FOL.
LOWERS THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTRY.
More People Today Have Gun Fever
Than Ever Before In History Of
sport-Many Clubs Formed
In Pennsylvania. i.

No sport In the country can be just
~ said to have developed to II greater
degree than trapshooting. 1t is a fact
that more people today have gun fe-
yer than ever before in the history Of
the game. There Is something about
1t which "mysteriously draws you In
to the sport" is the explanation of an
enthusiast. 1t is different from others
in that the interested ones participate
instead of just look on. OF course,
there are galleries for spectators,
which sometimes consist Of large
crowds. Those that have the real gun
fever say you can't remain a member
Of the gallery long, there's something
draws you into the game. Figures
cen to indicate that this must be
true, for the sport now has 100000
hackers. Five years ago 1t didn't have
a quarter of that number. In Pennsyl-
vania alone there are 500 trapshoot-
Ing clubs and an average club con-
sists of 30 members, so that makes
$4,000 gun bugs.
Extensiveness Of Sport.
An idea of the 'extensiveness of
trapshOoting can be had from the fol.
lowing figures gathered from the re-
cent grand American handicap held in
st. Louis: In it 63S crack trapshoot-
ers made entry. 1t cost each n from
IS to $13 to enter, and the Interstate
association. under whose auspices it
was given, donated $500. This made
a purse of $6.194. Cap. Jack Wulf,
the winner, received 1919. The sec
ond man received $557.45. and the
three men that tied for third place
won $443.6O each. Other winners re-
ceived various amounts down to $42.25.
During the five days 227,250 clay
birds were used, which, at an average
cost Of Z cents for each bird and shell,
would equal $15,907.5 so spent for the
,necessaries. This was not all. The
participants came from every state in
the Union and. v e Canada, and this
travelling expense, plus practically q
weeks hotel bill, would average 500
q shooter. Besides, there were more
than 1900 spectators, as is always
the case at such special occasions and
all of them didn't reside in st. Louis,
SO they. also spent neat sums, thus in
creasing the banks clearings. It Is
estimated that 100000 was spent in
this manner.

new WORLDS SERIES PLANS
Garry Hermann Suggests That All
Players Share In Money-Reduee
Prices Of Admission.

Garry Hermann, chairman of, the
National Baseball commission and
president Of the Reds, made a state
meht in which he said he favors a new
deal In, connection with the worlds Sc
ries, and his plans are different from
any so far proposed. He said:
II first would increase the series
from seven to nine games and allow
the players to share in the receipts Of
the first five games. Next I would
guarantee the players on the winning
club about $500 each with $1,000
each going to the members Of the los
ing team. That, l believe, is sufficient
reward for the few games they play.
II believe that we then would have

ROAD
BUILDING
ROADS DURING WINTER
Bad Condition In Majority Of Cases
Due to improper Drainage
Description Of Log Drag.

The almost impossible condition q
dirt roads during the winter and spring
months is in q majority Of cases due
to improper drainage. II the surface
Of the road were once leveled by grad
ing and the bitches properly opened mp,
then the roads dragged often enough
to keep the ruts and horse tracks
filled and the surface level, the water
would drain. off and the road would ~
much better, writes r. II. Milligan OF
Lawrence county, ILL.,. in Farmers Re
view. The water which accumulates
upon the surface Of a road that is not
level and is improperly drained must
stand until it %evapOrates or soaks into
the soil. The part which s0aks into
the soil causes it to become soft and
miry. H
1t is a very good plan to drag dirt,
roads at least once each week during
the winter months and oftener IL need
ed. l think it would be well for farm
ers living on dirt roads to enter into
an agreement by which each man ID to
drag the roads along. land farmed by.
him once each week, or better still
pass laws compelling farmers to drag
the roads adjoining their farms. Dur
ing the spring months the drag is the
best as well as the cheapest tool to be
had for assisting dirt roads to become
dry and solid.
There are many different types Of
road drags on the market, but most OF
these are rather expensive for the
farmer to keep for his own use. A
drag that will do the work practically
as well as any Of these may be made
by a small amount Of labor and slight
cost as follows: Take a log Of any
hard wood (white oak preferred), 8
to s feet in length and measuring g.
or z inches at the top. Using and or,
binary maui and wedge, split it into.
two equal parts. Through each piece
bore a hole ~ or 2 inches in dame
ter, 1 foot from each end. Then bore
another half way between these two
holes. Cut three round sticks, each
3 feet long, and taper them at the
ends so that they will At the holes In
the logs. Using these pieces, join the
two parts Of the logs together, placing
the round sides of the logs one way
and the fiat sides the other. Boards
may then be placed on the logs for
the driver to stand on or to place
weights upon, If needed. The round
Sides NJ tho 1npQ should ho mood In
front and the fiat sides behind. It
should be pulled by a chain fastened
to each end Of the drag and the dou-
bletrees fastened In the middle Of the
chain. Better results are obtained II
the chain is made longer ut one end
SO the drag will run d~iagonally on the
road, allowing mud and water to run
to one side.
The road should be dragged once
on each side with the driver standing
on the outside Of the drag. Z.

In these days Of elimination Of the non.

Of gift giving and present appropriate
and pleasing gifts to our friends. This
can be done, but 1t takes thought, not
indiscrlmlnate buying.
There are SO many good things that
we never think of. that would be so
much more pleasing to our friends than
the gifts we usually give. Do you
make nice doughnuts? A box of two
dozen nutty brown doughnuts would
never 60 begging in many homes. Such
a box may be arranged with as much
Of the festive air of Christmas as the
taste Of the giver desires.
1t is always a good plan to have
a shelf or drawer in the attic where
all boxes may be kept through the
year. They are then ready for gifts
of any size and in leisure moments one
may cover them with pretty wallpaper,
making quite elegant boxes, which, If
bought, would cost quite a sum.
If you have a girl or boy friend at,
boarding school, too far away to get
home, don't forget the box Of goodies.
No one knows. unless he has felt 1t.
how such q gift warns the cookies Of
the heart.
A plum pudding wrapped in lace pa
per and tied with red ribbons, with a
bunch of holly or wintergreen makes
a happy gift. Fruit cakes may be
baked weeks before, packed in soft
brown sugar to keep moist. Any at
tractive kind Of cookies, rocks, her
mits, are good. The macaronl letters
may be used to spell the children's
names on little cakes, which gives
them keen delight. Jellies, canned
fruit, pickles or orange marmalade
wrapped tastefully and well marked,
are all most acceptable Christmas gifts.
For the ice cream, and what party
would be complete without that, small
new flower pots lined with waxed pa
per, may be filled with the cream and
the top sprinkled with chocolate graf
ed over 1t with a small daisy for the
flower.

Farmers living on sand-clay and dirt
