'DraIp Shot the Most
Important, Says Hoppe

One OF the most moot questions In
billiards IL What is the most Inn
portant shot in bllliards?" How
many times a year this question Is
promulgated cannot be figured, but
II is n question the answer to which
IL of great interest to everyone who
has ever had a cue in his hand. For
this reason the question was to Willie
Hoppe, undoubtedly the greatest
balkline player tho game has known.
without the least nesitancy Hoppe
replied; 1.-THE draw shot. No matter
how well a player may execute all
OF tho other shots on n table II he
cannot control his draw stroke his
game Is not sound and he cannot
hope TO progress very far in per-
fecting his game. A good billiardist
uses the draw about rs per cent OF
the time. 1t is the very foundation
Of billiards"
II you doubt what Hoppe says
about the draw shot he'll prove It ID
you at the Tulsa Hotel Billiard acad-
emy on Thur, day and Friday of this
week when he will engage IN 400
point exhibition with Charley Peter
son. the fancy shot expert. Each
session will be followed by an eXhi-
bition OF fancy shot making by

The free legion boxing bout to lie

day evening will form the first s,ep
in the organization of the long com
templated American Legion Ath-
letic association. hackers Of the
movement expect. Interest In the
manly sport has long burned high
among local ieglonnaires. most Of
whom put on the gloves In camp
sparring contests both on this side
and In France during the war. and
some OF the best attended legion
meetings in this 'city, both OF Joe
Carson post and during the state
convention, were when boxing
match was the main attraction.
II Is proposed that the athletic as
sociation be instituted as soon as tho
circus is over and legionnaires have
breathing time, that the association
foster sports of all kinds and ANA
teur events among the members and
that effort he made to establish a
well-equipped gymnasium in the
contemplated post clubhouse. 1t ha,t
been further suggested that untif
the legion moves into its own house,
arrangements be made to share tenn
porary athletic quarters with mill

the tremendous floor space, the large

Geographic sketch, in December, 1859
after repeated solicitation by his
closest friend, Jesse W. Fell, of this
city, is still in the possession of Mr..
Fell's descendants. 1t is yellowed by
age. Mr.. Fell played no small part
in bringing about Lincoln's nomina-
ton for the Presidency.
In the fall of 1858, during the Lin
coin and Douglas debate, Mr.. Fell
travelled over the country quietly
sounding the praises of Lincoln and
appointing lieutenants and campaign
managers. Finding that there was
much curiosity concerning Lincoln's
life history, he judged it advisable to
procure a biography to be utilized in
part for campaign purposes. After
repeated requests Lincoln finally plac-
ed in Felps hands the manuscript,
written with a freedom and unre-
serve which one friend would display
in talking to another, and in which
Lincoln's peculiar conversational style
is happily illustrated. This sketch
which was never intended for publ
cation, reads:
