Read This and BE Glad You're Not
Living In Arkansas.

Little Rock, Ark. Feb. 19.-After
being forced into the background for
a few days by more important mat
tiers, "blue laws" again came to the
fore when the Arkansas general as
sembly reconvened Monday. The state
senate ended its weeks labors late
Saturday with a member speaking on
the much-discussed "Sunday golf"
measure which proposes to prohibit
golf, tennis, football, fishing or other
sports on the Sabbath, while a col
league was waiting the end Of the
address Only to propose an amendment
to debate Sunday newspapers and
make street cars, railway trains, auto
mobile driving and Sunday church col
lections unlawful. The speech was
unfinished when the senate adjourn
ed. hence the bill was to come up
Monday as unfinished business.
The proposed blue law has been
amended so as to provide that prose
cutors who refuse to take action when
their attention is called TO violations
would be liable to summary removal
from office. The measure, proposed
in retaliation for the defeat of a
bill to allow Sunday baseball. has
aroused great interest throughout the

Some More About Willie Hoppe
Billiard Champion Respects the Breaks of the Game and Mena Hazards
BY BILLY EVANS

Willie Hoppe, famous billiard star,
is champion, every inch Of him. He
not only plays bus looks the part.
He is the same Hoppe today as lie
was twenty years ago, when he was
first startling the billiard world as the
"boy wonder" Success has not
changed him in the least.
Hoppe is one Of the most popular
champions in the history Of all sports.
Affable, always the gentleman, Hoppe
makes, friends the moment he steps up
to the green table TO start match
or exhibition. His clean-cut manner
Immediately wins you over.
Hoppe does not view his coming
match with Jake Schaefer with any
great alarm. He has the greatest re-
gard for Schaefer's remarkable abil-
ity, but feels that he will be able to
retain the title.
"When players are nearly equal in
ability, getting the breaks means
everything" remarked Hoppe to me
recently in discussing the coming
match for the championship.
at is impossible to describe just
what l mean by the breaks. There
are so many little things that can
play a definite part in the final re-
suit whether they break for or against
you. Amy fellow who has ever in
dulged in any brand of sport will I'M
derstand Just what | mean when |
make reference to the important part
the break of the game plays"
While every champion in any
branch Of sport sooner or later is de-
throned, the defeat Of Hoppe by
Scheafer year ago was a huge sur
prise. The sympathy of every lover
of billiards went TO Hoppe in defeat
The glad hand was extended by just
as many when he regained his title
by defeating Schaefer.
"How come Schaefer happened to
beat you, WillieI" i asked.
The old mental hazard turned the
trick" he replied. Early in, the
match i failed several times to make
shots that | should have executed.

stroke, that 1 couldn't make them.

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 19.-Win-
ter baseball adjourned sine die to-
day when the gathering of the Amer.
lean League magnates was COM
pleted.
The formal adoption of the schedule
for the season of 1923 was part Of
today's program. No outbreak was
heard in. any quarter as TO the dates
allotted, 1t may be a rainy season

ments that have been made, so there
is little good to be had in worrying
in advance.
Any club that happens TO be play

are going well, will be grateful to
have been blessed that way and any
club that finds equally as good con-
ditions in Chicago or st. Louis or De-
troit, is not going to ri amuck and
denounce the schedule makers.
This meeting brought together the
managers Of the American League as
they have been engaged for 1928 and
Frank Chance again assumes a reg

on winning the championship for
Boston this year, but if he gets any
kind of start he is satisfied that be

from younger players who will have
to take the places Of the older men
now engaged by American League
clubs.
Chance is not the only manager

also confesses that he thinks he be-

the thick bank Of gloom that 80 often

The Detroit Club, with its new up

so afflicted had half dozen big
chances but failed to take advantage
of. them. Championship, apoise was
lacking in that match"
Hoppe is one champion who always
tries 10 give the fans run for their
money. He takes every exhibition
seriously, plays his very best and is
disappointed when he fails to do
something unusual, something the
fans really expect a champion to per-
form.
It is really surprising what a little
thing will do with champions

form in Cleveland at the Cleveland
Athletic club. After practicing for
a few minutes he came back and sat
down beside me, saying
~The crowd is going to see poor
billiards this afternoon. That table
is just like asking big league ball
player to perform on A skinned dio-
mond. The cushions are liyelier than
the ball they used in the big league
last year."
Hoppe was right. 1t required a
flock of innings to complete the after
Moons play. In the evening the
cushions were ;changed, and Hoppe
demonstrated why he is champion, by
running out his 800 points in two in.
nings, getting 204 and an unfinished
run Of 90.
Hoppe is playing in fine form at
present. -Four times since regaining
