HOPPE, BILLIARD CHAMPION OF WORLD.

Six names of GUESTS are 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 one who ever
defeated Hoppe for the 1871 crown.
Sutton is still 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-
trely too difficult for even the cham
pIon, and has been discarded Hoppe
took the 1871 crown from Vignaux in
Faris when the Frenchman was 5S and
Hoppe 40 years his junior. Sutton
wrested this title from Hoppe. but
the latter regained it 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 IS at

NEW WORLDS SERIES PLANS
Garry Hermann Suggests That All
Players Share in Money-RedUce
Prices of Admission.

Garry Hermann, chairman Of the
National Baseball commission and
president of the Reds, made a state
ment in which he said he favors new
deal in connection with the worlds Sc
ries, and his plans are different from
any so far proposed. He said:
81 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 l 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

enough money left in the players
pool to give each player on the se-'nd
place clubs $500.
Graded down we could give each
third place player 500 each eacA
fourth place player $500, fifth place
player $3.50, sixth place 5000, seventh
place player $50 and eighth place
500. This schedule might be suolec'
TO revision, but l believe the various
sums would approximate about THESE
amounts.
by distributing this annual re"aIo
we would create an incentive foI al
the players TO try to finish as hish a
possible.
"All the club owners in both leagues
now share In the worlds series. 50 ""t
shouldn't all the players? IWea,!-
five per cent of the money earned Oh
the series by each club is turned o''-
to its league and this reduces eS1"

Il also believe by extending the -
rieS to nine games we could reduce '17

Hopes billiards are the same to
him as religion. Although he prob
ably knew Sutton could not give him
hard battle in the ST. Louis match,
Hoppe trained faithfully for the con-
test, starting the middle of August.
First he played alone on 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
it is more rigorous exercise.

Washington in a concert. Her spe-
cialty is the singing of Indian songs
in mezzO soprano. She was reared in
Oklahoma and was fortunate enough
to attract the attention of a philanthro-

She has justified the confidence of her

practically all the money advanced for

a brilliant career. She designs and
