Hoppe Getting
Ready to Meet
Rivals With Cue
Champion Nearing End OF
His Exhibition Trip
Chance for Cochran
By Louis Lee Arms

4 letter 90 the writer from Charles
G.. Peterson, worlds champion fancy
buhardist now on tour with Willie
Hoppe. declares that with the conciu-
sion Of the exhibition trip in Cali
fornia Hoppe will be ready to meet all
comers. As an indication that Hoppe
is still banging away at tremendous
clip it is interesting to note that his
grand aver, G during TIE week Of De-
cember 9-l5 was AZ.
As this average was made on strange
tables in five different cities, with
night "iumps" between each town, 1t IS
the more remarkable.
New York balkine enthusiasts be-
Ecve that Welker Cochran, the young
Westemer. has shown by his recent
play at Howison's and Days that he Is
emerging from embryo INTO sure
cnouph disputant for Hopes Isl,
fS.2 and 142 honors. Cochran was
beaten ingloriously by Hoppe in tourna-
pent play here three years ago, but
Since that time practice has done much
for him.
Lacks Poise and Finish
But what we have seen of the young
Celts play he still lacks poise and nm
ish-not 10 mention studious care-to
make him even an interesting rival for
the incomparable Hoppe. II Is true
that Cochran five times IN eight days
turned i'm runs Of better than l9O at
1S.2. but, while this is impressive, 1t
must be remembered that Cochran was
playing "sct-up' matches, where ne
was doing most Of the shooting and
consequently was warm Further
there was little at stake.
Cochran's greatest faults sre his I'M
patience and carelessness. The last
time we watched him he lost the balls
several times, after cleverly worklng
them into position, by negligence tha'
was inexcuSable. II there is one thln6
that any one may learn from an ana'y-
sis of Hopes balkline play 1t is tnet
an excruciating pains is necessary toT
every billiard shot that ever was made
in q competitive match.
II is in that quality, which requires
unfailing self-control and almost phleg-
matte methodicalness, that Hoppe ex-
cells. and it would be interesting TO
know how much of his sustained sue
cess NAV be attributed alone TO this
important equation.
Cochran seems 10 be the "naturai
horn" billiardist-if there is such an
animal-but even that does not excuse
carelessness. 1t makes it, in fact, a
greater sin.
The Logical Opponent
At the present time there is no douot
but taat Cochran ultimately will be the
logical man to take the balkline crown
away from Hoppe, if any one can 10
that. He assmiiates easily and has
shown steady progress. His game IS
less mechanical and has more OF grace
10 it than the second string chaileng-
ers who have been ca aping unsuccess-
fully on the champions trail for years
But with all these points in his favor
game between him and Hoppe at TINS
time will be no more than practice Tor
the champion barring the iuke. II mas
been observed i'm the past that Hoppe
+ is not addicted 20 fukes.
II is said Hoppe is playing. three
cushions with view 10 challenging
for that title That should be welcome
news 70 Cochran. Three cushions
never helped any mans balkline play.
