first efforts Of the boys was at pocket
billiards. Hoppe toured the country
with the youngster, While then being

years Of age could play 100 or no
count.
It sometimes has been stated that
Willie stood on a box to play some
shots, but his father denies this. The
boy climbed on the table when he had
a long reach to make.
Willie Hoppe won the shortstOp
championship Of the world at Paris
in January, 1904, and then returned
home and toured with the late Jake
Schaefer, winning most Of his games.
His next goal was the 1871 champion

lard world BY Wrestling the title from
Maurice Yignaux, the great French
master, on Jan. Is, 1906. Hoppe won,
500 to 1923, averaging 20.
In fourteen years OF championship
play Hoppe has been beaten only
twice in challenge matches. once By
Sutton and once by Schaefer.
Father Student Of Game.
There is no greater student Of tie
game than Mr.. Hoppe the elder. For
forty years he watched the leading
players Of the world and from this
study evolved a system which is diff
ferent from that Of any other player.
It is this system which has given
Willie his supremacy as a balkline
player. It is based largely on the
method in which the object ball is hit.
Time or timing" says Mr.. Hoppe, is
the greatest item In billiards" and
his ability in this line has been a big
factor in the work Of Willie Hoppe.

Willie Hoppe has again won a bill
Hard championship over the best ex-
pOnents of the game In the world.
There may be fellows who can play
q more brilliant game than Hoppe in
practice. There Is no man, nor any
set Of men, who can beat him in a
tournament.
What is true Of every other game
Is true Of billiards. There are times
when some men can play brilliantly
when there is nothing at stake, but
Il is the fellow who can always play
brilliantly who gets money and makes
the championships. Hoppe Is one Of
these. He always plays in champion
ship form.
Has Lived Right
The reason he does that is that he
has always lived in a way to guaran-
tee constant topnotch play. He has
sacrificed more, probably, than any
other living billiardist, and it shows In
the result.
There is no man on earth who, In
the long run, eau DeaI hoppe at the
billiard game, and he has earned the
right to be the supreme billiardist Of
his time; he has worked for it.
Whatever success Champion Hoppe
has attained at billiards-and by
many he is conceded to be the greatest
balkline player Of all time-is due
largely to the influence Of his father,
now a billiard instructor.
John Henry Frank Hoppe was born
In 1862 at Goshen, N. 7. His sons are
Frank. the pocket billiard player, now
living at Rockford; Willie, the balk-
line champion, and Albert, who IS In
business in st. Louis.

Lightning was responsible for
more fires, than any other agency in
Vermont last year, according to a
tabulation just issued by Joseph G.
Brown, state fire marshal. or 1649
fires 400 were charged to lightning
and the resulting loss was over a
million dollars. For some reason
that has not been explained to the
satisfaction of the general run of hui.
man beings, lightning seems to have
an affinity for barns filed with hay
and many OF these structures are de-
stroyed through this agency during
the summer, Eight fires were due
to friction sparks created by run
ming machinery but the total loss
was greater than the combined de-
struction wrought in the 400 fires
caused by lightning. Matches and
smoking are also given bad record
by the fire marshal who credits these
two agencies with 1876 fires and a loss
of more than a million. According to
the report, damage to the amount of
| 500, 609.77 was caused by fire in Ben
nington last year and there was a
total damage of SS6,SO5 20 in Benning-
ton county. Four towns in the cour-
lty, Glastonbury, andgroye. Sandgate
and Winhall reported no fires and no
losses.

mitted for the once common
offense of intoxication No one will
have the effEonteny to attempt to re-
flute the assertion that the present
apparent uselessness of the county
Jail is due TO one. cause and one
cause only, the enactment OF nation
al prohibition. Aided by the war,
the cause of prohibition was adj
vanced in two years further than it
ordinarily wopldghsyep progressed in
a decade. Theresis bound to be some
reaction, but the people of this coun

serve the beneficial results OF the
rigid restriction and any one who
imagines that they will either yolun
tart return to or be driven to again

before the United States clashed with
the German menace is basing his be-

conclusion derived from observation.
