there aren't many like that. Concen-
tration Is a vital factor in billiards."
One reason for Hoppe's success is
his gift for the game naturally and his
uncanny billiard eye. He never takes
time to study out how q shot should
be made.
If he hesitates at all between strokes
1t is simply to figure out the best and
simplest way to make II. His first
hunch II generally, the one he, picks.
The fans found this play Of the cham
pion's a good line on the relative skill
Of Hoppe and Eduoard Horemans, the
champion of Europe, who appeared here
some weeks ago, and the only player
who Is given real chance to beat
Hoppe.
Even the experts have failed when 1t
came to finding flaws in Hopes game,
draw, follow, masse, open shots, nurs-
ing. no matter how difficult the shots,
they all seem to look alike to Hoppe
and his play is forever with the next
shot in mind. He gets himself in few
"hoes' and thereby differs greatly
from Horemans.
The Belgian Is q wonder at massc
shots and uses them frequently, mostly,
however, tits pointed out, because he
leaves himself such hard ''lies." He's
not 80 good at "open table work.

Hoppe comes right back with longer

against Hoppe, according to Referee
Carolan. Not good. but not bad.
A draft waited through the ex.suit
and cloak rooms, which served as the
billiard salon, in the first part Of the
game, which affected the scoring.

FEW CHANGES IN
AS 1921 LINEUP
Connie Wants to Develop Fast
lnfieIder and Outfielder-Men
Have Ability

Lake Charles. la, Feb. S.-When
the 1921 Athletics take the field in the
opening game Of the season at Shibe
Park, fans will witness the same team
N action as finished last season with
several exceptions. Manager Mack
Is confident that he has the players that
will be able to combat any team in the
league. provided he can develop one fast
infielder and an outfielder.
OF course. Connie also adds that TO
keep in the running his athletes must
remain in condition, but as far as their
ability ms ball players is concerned he
has not the slightest doubt that they can
hold their own with the best.
Under the most favorable weather
conditions, the batterymen opened the
training season here yesterday. The
Catchcrs have all reported and but three
OF the twirlers are missing.
The men participated in stiff morning
and afternoon practices. From 10 TO
noon and from 2 to 4 80 p. m. were
the hours spent in the baseball in
closure.
The players showed pep that was no
ticeable TO Mack. who said ne is salts
fed the men are in the best of physical
condition and have kept themselves ft
during the winter months.
Myatt and G. Walker have reported
and the only absent battcrymen now
are Perry, Moore and Wilbur Wray.

That was nll that kept Peterson from

Ian is authority for the statement that

There are two basic principles where

they went out lost, and they happened

Patterson is not in class with
Brookcs, and Brookes Is determined to
come back. He is training and will be Il
more difficult PLAYER to beat next year
than he was this time"
There was the incident also In which
Brookes was quoted as saying that he
considered Johnston a greater player
than Tilden. Asked about that, Bill
said that after the match referred to. in
which he beat Brookes. the Australian
veteran came to him and said, "Why
don't you play like that all the time?"
Tilden's reply was that he did not
believe in burning himself out by play
ing his top form continually. and
Brookes shook his head and said, "Well,
never want to meet you again when
you're playing like that"
The Austra!asian team which will
invade this country next year in an eff
fort to win bnck the Dayic Cup will
include BrOokes, O'IIara Wood. J. B.

cordins to Tilden.

hrings back from Australia after having
pecaptured the Davis Cup with the help
Of w. NJ. Johnston. Tilden reached
nome yesterday. Tilden's decision re-
rarding the Junior players Is not new
one, In fact. he has long been an ad-
yocate Of developing juniors, but now
more than ever he thinks that the
Youngsters should be given every op-
nortunity to develop and all the as
sistance that the rating players can give
them.
continued Tilden." their So called
Young players are rarely less than
twenty two or twenty three years old.
Here we have lot Of boys who are be-
coming expert ut fifteen and less. That
Il the correct method Of developing the
rnmo nationally. Teach the boys when
they are very young and develop in
them the lawn tennis instinct.
Few have done more already than
Tilden to help the junior players. He
not only gives them instructions, but
hour after hour he viii stay out on the
courts driving with these youths and
teaching them the technique Of the
game. This teaching has done much to
bring Tilden to his present place at the
head Of the worlds lawn tennis play
prs.
Fears Brookes
Tidcn served a note Of warning that
there is one dark cloud threatening
American supremacy in the immediate
future. That is Norman Brookes, the
greatest tennis player in Australia af-
ter fifteen years Of first fight rcnown,
the veteran. who gained his greatest
fame with the late Anthony Wilding
and who the world thought was done
six years ago.
It was Brookes who alone stood in
the path Of Tildcn and Johnston in
the recent contests and it was he, who.
according to Tilden, ceme within an
ace of conquering the American Won
lers and holding the cup.
"Brookes is coming back, despite
his forty three years. Tilden said.
He Is a better tennis player today
rhan he ever was according toy Billy
Johnston and found out myself that
ne ia a wonder"
Then Tilden answered the question
hat many American followers of ten
MS have wondered at for long time.

morning he was taken suddenly and
seriously ILL., All that medical skill
and loving care could do were of no
