Followers of sporting dope when
asked to name the greatest living ath-
lete probably have some trouble in
settling in their own minds just who
is entitled to the crown.
On past performances, Jim Thorpe
would generally be accorded the laurel
wreath, because the Indian has shone
In football, baseball and on the
track. Baseball fans might nominate
Babe" Ruth as champion athlete, and
lovers of boxing doubtless would Sc
lect Jack Dempsey. But closer stu
dents of all sorts of sport, if they stop
and think, will give the tOpmOst rung
of the ladder of perfection to Willie
Hoppe.
Some Will Object.
There will be some who will say
that Hoppe isn't an athlete at all be-
cause billiards isn't an athletic game.
True, it is far cry from the delicate
stroke of the cueist to the mighty
swing of Ruth or the crushing
punch of a Dempsey, yet the same
qualities enter into the making of
each; perfect mental and physical CO.
ordination, a sense of time and rhythm.
When Ruth clOuts home run he
times his swing so that he will have
he absolute maximum of weight and
he ball. He makes a perfect stroke

with full power. When Hoppe hits
his cue ball, he doesn't try to see how
hard he can drive it, but in all other
particulars, such as timing and fol
low through" he does very much the
same thing as the mighty Babe"
One offers the objection, possibly,
that Hoppe is hitting stationary OBJ
ject, while Babe" is forced to meet
a faSt-mOving ball and one whose
trajectory is erratic. This is Offset by
the fact that Ruth must simply meet
the ball fairly and with force, while
Hoppe must cue the ivory in such a
manner that it will take english of the
desired sort and with just the proper
amount of force to bring it to a stop
in good position for the succeeding
shot.
Hoppe Makes Many.
Ruth creates a furOre in the sport
ing world by hitting half hundred
home runs in the course of q season.
Hoppe makes several times that many
shots calling for the maximum of per-
fectiOn In a single evening. And IL
Ruth does not "get hold of the balr'
exactly right, he may get a base hit
through the infield, or a foul ball that
will give him another chance. But
Hoppe, if he doesn't make his shot ex-
actly right every time, gets nothing at
all.

Monday morning
On Tuesday Mr.. Harding will forget
all about golf and fishing, except per-
haps for an occasional round on the st.
Augustine links for relaxation. and de-
vote himself entirely to consideration Of
official matters The first of the con-
ferences he has scheduled here is for
Tuesday morning. From then on he will
be busy until the time comes for the re-
turn trip TO Marion. But before that
he hopes TO have his Cabinet selections
complete and to have given considera-
tion TO some other important appoint
1nents he has to make These include
nomination TO the Shipping Board, the
Federal Trade Commission. the Inter-
sta<- Commerce Commission and the
more important QlplOmatlC posts.
1t will be no great surprise to those
who have followed Mr.. Harding's meth
DDS since his nomination for the Presi-
dency IL no should disregard precedent
in respect to some Of his Cabinet APP
pointments. II may be a shock to the
politicians but developments have made
It entirely probable that Mr.. Harding
may disregard the unwrltten rule OF only

places to two men from Pennsylvania.

way, because both men happen to have
their homes in Pittsburg. Likewise II
Mr.. Mellon should not prove available
the fact is not calculated to prevent Mr..
Harding from considering New York
or Illinois man, although other Cabinet
places have gone TO those states.
Among those whose names are on
Mr.. Hardings engagement book for
next week are Senators Lawrence g.
Phipps OF Colorado and James w.
Wadsworth. Jr.. Of New York. who will
be here on Tuesday. Senator Wads-
