YOU So"
Compared to Ives.
Hoppe has often been compared to
Frank Ives. Ives was Il meteor In the
billiard zenith that flashed into view
20 years ago, but he had nothing In
common with Hoppe. Before he be-
came great cueist Ives had tried his
hands mt many things, while Hoppe
has been ut the green cloth game his
entire life. Previous to becoming u
billiardist Ives had been Il jockey, BIZ
cycle rider. racetrack bOOkmaker, roll
or skater, In fact Observation-Disclosures.
Ives was wonderful SHOEMAKER, one
of the most spectacular In the history
Of the game, but he never 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
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, well-knOwn San Francisco
cueist, to polish Off his preparatory
work. While he loves to golf, Hoppe
refuses to play the game for fear 1t
would spoil his touch with the cue, us

fourth place player $500, fifth place

to revision, but l believe the various

amounts.

we would create IN incentive for all

possible.

BIG EVENTS OF 1916
Incidents of Baseball Season
That Appear Noteworthy.
Several Pitchers Performed Unusual
Stunts - Alexander Establishes
New Whitewash Record
Speaker SuppIants Cobb.

A compiler of the dope has counted
things of the baseball season that has
just come to its close:
Four no-hit, no-run games in the big
leagues-three in the American and
one In the National. The pitchers who
performed these feats were: Leonard
of the Red Sox, against st. Louis;
Foster of the Red Sox. against WASH
ington; Bush of the Athletics, against
Cleveland, and Hughes of the Braves,
against Pittsburgh.
Grover Cleveland Alexander. the
great pitcher of the Pblles, set up
new whitewash record by pitching 10
shutout games. The old mark was 10,
held by Mathewson.
Zach Wheat of the Brooklyn Robins
made one or more safe hits I'm 30 con-
secutive games. In the 30 games he
polled n total of As safeties.
The New York Giants won 90 con-
secutive games, and, in doing so, shat
tered the long-standlng major league
record Of 90 straight made by Prov.
dence I'm 1884.
In losing 20 straight games the Ath-
letics tied the American league record
for consecutive defeats. The Mack
men also hung up new mark for de-
feats In one season with III games In
the lost column, against 113 registered
by Washington In 1904, the worst
previous record.
The "Iron man" stunt, or pitching
and winning two games in one after
noon, was performed by four big
league twirlers. They were: Daven-
port Of the Browns, pitching against
the Yankees: Perr,t of the Giants,
against the Phillies; Alexander of the
