CHAMPION HOPPE is
IMPROVING IN PLAY
Really Remarkable How He Man
ages to Hold On to BaIk-Line
Billiard Championship.

1t is really remarkable how that
man Hoppe manages to hang on to the
balk-line billiard championship.
He held 1t for years and years. and
then young Jake Schaefer. real chip
Of the old block, took 1t from him,
only TO have it won back again by
Hoppe the year after.
Then Schaefer challenged him some
days ago, and while at first it looked
as II he would wrest the title from
Hoppe again, he wound up $50
points behind him when the whole
thing was over.
1t was match Of three sessions
of 800 points each end 1t really did
look as If there was nothing to It but
Schsefer during the first evening.
Hoppe played wretched game.
Seldom had he shown himself to such
disadvantage.
He was off In his stroke, and what
is particularly strange for him, seemed
very nervous.
When the first nights play was
over, Schaefer had finished his first
block of 500. and Hoppe only made
277. or 223 behind him
To most billiard players that would
have been an almost unsurmountable
barrier TO winning the tourney, but
not SO TO Hoppe.
Whatever happened to him on the
first night is hard to explain. for he
could hardly have been so sure Of
himself, hardly have taken such
chances as to deliberately let his rival
get that far ahead of him.
On the second night however. he
was entirely himself again He kept
nursing the balls against the rail ana
got 80 caroms In a field less than six
inches square.
His high run was 143.
Schaefer during this competition
only managed to secure 494 points.
and Hoppe actually got 723, thereby
filling the two blocks Of 500 each, for
the first and second nights.
Then he started the third and last
night with only six ahead Of Schafer
but by wonderful manipulation Of the
balls, and absolute sang-froid. man
aged to run out at a time when
Schaefer had only a total for the
three evenings of 1871 TO his credit.
Who the next challenger viii be Is
hard to tell, but it may be decided by
an elimination process.

came from the air. I wondered If
the boy could tell US anything else
of value.

NO, sir I did not; but, If I had

Mr. BARLEY. but I can't find him. No

BARLEY accepted his statement with
a shrug Of disappointment. and
turned his attention to the builder.
He was man of about fifty-fve.
tall, with a rather thin face of the IN
emotional kind common to buffers.
Though he refused to meet Bartley's
eyes, he did not seem to be In the least
| nervous. What had taken place that
night he evidently accepted as some
thing he could not help and need not
worry over.
BARLEY asked him first about the
men that were at the card party. To
my surprise the butler said he was
unable to give the names of all the
men, though he knew most Of them.
BARLEY took down in little red
notebook the names Of such men as
he could remember. Then ne asked
suddenly, And what was the name
of the man that stayed after the
others left?"
The question seemed to surprise the
butler, but he answered, Mr.. Law
renee, sir, the lawyer from Saratoga.
Mr.. Slyke asked him himself to re-
main after the others had gone. He
went with him up to Mr.. Sykes
room and stayed there a few mo-
ments. I myself waited here in u
chair to let him out and lock up. l

than ten minutes or So"
BARLEY glanced at the stairs. "Did
Mr.. Slyke come down with Mr.. Law

ly, "That is, alive"

patients and personnel have access to
81 popular and technical periodicals,
and eighteen daily papers. The med
ical staff is supplied with 40 medical
journals covering wide range of in.

As part of the therapeutic treat

certain forms of light occupational
work are offered under the supervis-

of activity is prescribed by medical
officer. 1t is considered that the work
is beneficial to patients from both
physical and psychological stand
points.
To this end, an occupational Their,
apy building is maintained. The work
consists of reed and raffia weaving,
hand leather work, rug making and
other forms of constructive activity.
In many instances this therapy ha,
been extended to the sick wards, the

AS part of the occupational work,

of qualified teacher-aides. Owing to
the character of treatment prescribed

Columbus have placed n secretary in
the hospital, who devotes his entire
time to the recreation and comfort of
the patients.
The early history of the hospital is
so closely identified with the history
of the American Legion of Texas, that
one needs but to consider the achieve
ment of that organization as already
recounted to realize the interest shown
in the patients welfare and the ex-
service man in general.

London.-The recent fogs which have
prevailed In and around London are
responsible not only for a greatly In
creased expenditure for lighting, but
have caused more than the usual
amount Of sickness and suffering to
the population. This Is set forth by
medical experts. who quoted statistics
to show that for one week the death
rate in London was 14.3 per 1000,
against death rate for the whole Of
England and Wales of 12.6 per 1000.
Deaths from bronchitis and broncho-
