At HOPPE
BY r. d. Thomas


They all want to play Hoppe in
the first match.
To judge by the requests shot
at w. v. Thompson, secretary of
the National Billiard Association,
one might think that the once in
yincible Willie had become a set
up for the other great stars who
will compete for the worlds 1872
championship in a tournament at
the Arcadia starting next Tuesday.
But nothing is farther from the
truth. Hoppe is still a wonder, so
much so that all of the participants
figure that If they can get by him

The secret OF the matter is
that Hoppe is nOtOriOusIy

Hoppe is the 1872 balkline title
holder. It's up to Thompson to
name his first opponent from the
six others who most willingly would
accept the honor.
Billiard stars, it seems, are
more fussy about some things
than opera singers. They have
pet superstitiOns, are affected
by imaginary handicaps and
life becomes q painful state
when conditions are not exactly
as they think they ought to be.
The table on which big cham
pionship tournament was held in
Chicago caught the fancy Of the
cue wizards and that very same
table down to it's least part has
been shipped here for the grand
event at the Arcadia.
Moreover. the man who put the
cloth on this beloved table has been
brought from Chicago to do it
again. 1t appeared to the billiard
stars that he stretched that cloth
just exactly right.
