ScHAEFER AND HOPPE
TO DISPLAY WIZARDY

Two of the greatest billiardists in
the world, Jake Schaefer and Willie
Hoppe, will play series OF four
games at the Grand Central, COM
menoing tomorrow afternoon.
Three hundred points will be play
ed each afternoon and night at the
1872 balkline game and at the con-
ciusion OF each match Schaefer and
Hoppe will give exhibition of fancy
shots
After moro than 30 years in bill
Iiards, and still he Is few years on
the sunny side OF 40. Willie Hopes
one ambition Is to regain the world
1872 balkline title. He is at present
the champion at 1<.1. 1872 and 18.1
and held the 1872 honors for sixteen
years. Hoppe has lost the title twice
and on both occasions his conqueror
was Jake Schaefer, son OF the famous
wizard.
His recent defeat by Sohaefer prob
ably may be attributed to his match
at three cushions, when he defeated
Cannefax for that title in Chicago. as
IL Is almost impossible to regain the
soft nursing strokes needed in balk-
line after a slap-bang experience with
the round-the-table game.
But there Is no question as to
Schaefer's brilliancy In the recent
tournament. Jake certainly played
unbeatable billiards When one
glances at Schaefer's wonderfol games
and record d-breaking grand average
of 81. II clearly demonstrates that he
simply outplayed Hoppe.
In the tournament Sohaefer scored
400 points in one inning, a two-inning
victory featured by an unfinished run
of 2S8, and when he defeated Hoppe
hts triumph was marked by an un-
finished run of 296. Hoppe remarked
after his defeat that he hoped the
next time they met Jake's game
would be somewhat poorer and his
own Improved.
In working Sohaefer and Hoppe
together the management has shown
great enterprise, as heretofore 1t has
generally been the custom to give the
topliners a lesser star with whom to
play exhibition games.
Seats at the Grand Central will be
arranged IN tier form, 50 that the
exhibitions can be seen without
trouble. Matches start at o'clock
In the afternoon and o'clock at
night.

slide over to his right leg at the

which results in a violent back and

showing how the clubhead keeps even

The golfer who will learn to start
his clubhead back in this way need
hardly think of the physical act of
shifting his weight to his right leg

such great golfer.
She undoubtedly inherits her ath-
ietic prowess from her father, who
was at one time one Of the greatest
bicycle riders this country ever has
seen. George Collett also was at one
time a noted bowler
At the age of 13 the Providence
girl was real star at playing base
ball. She still is a fine tennis player
and a swimmer of unusual ability
When she was Il, Glenna's father
took her to the Metacomet Club in
Providence, handed her a golf club
and told her to drive. Much to the
establishment of all present, Glenna
smashed out a fine drive measuring
at least $50 yards. Thereupon her
father, who had previously thought
the youngster was destined TO be q
tennis star decided Glenna would be
a golfer.
Longest Driver of Women.
Next day Glenna began a series
of lessons, with Johnny Anderson as
her instructor. Miss Collett is con
ceded to be the longest driver of any
woman golfer ever developed in this
country. But, peculiarly, Glenna first
learned to putt. Gradually she work
ed back to the drive, taking in turn
the mashte- -niblick, mashie, midirou
and then the wood.
1t was q year before she handled
any wooden clubs at all. In her sec
ond year the girl began to appear in
competition. In 1922, three years
after she had taken up golf, Glenna

Miss Collett Is playing the finest
golf she ever has exhibited. Only the

Ormond, she was out-driving Joe
Kirk@ood, noted Australian trick shot
artist. Incidentally. Glenna met John

young Providence lass, said: "I want

country. In the North-and- South
championship at Pinehurst last year,
she gave Miss Collett her hardest
match. Again. in the Florida East
Coast championship here last week,
she carried Glenna to the eighteenth
hole before yielding to her opponent.
Miss Perry has a fine natural swing.
a splendid temperament for the game.
and those who know the girl predict
she will make a good showing in the
British event.
Mrs. Sterrett is certain to do well
on the other side. principally because
she Is a marvellous hitter with the
irons. The Kansas girl has improved
greatly in her driving in the past
year, ana also mas developed q me
