Ex-l(mp and Vice-Versa By Henry-. I,‘ Farzell United Press Sports Editor’ New York, Dec; 18—Wrile the closing year of 1922 will be remem- bered. long as’a’yeaf of ‘upsets and’ go-backs, it was also a year of come- backs. Many kings of sport became ex- kings and.quite a few former leaders in their line came back to the top. Comebacks are alwayg more inter- esting because they are so few. Its easy to drop out of the race but its hard to get back in. Willie Hoppe, who had reigned from the time he could reach the table until late in 1921 as the king of billiards, came back, and his re- turn to the throne was the most popular ascension of the year. He was defeated last year by Jake Schaf- fer and in coming back as the cham- pion this year, he removed all doubts as to his" ability/ By "finishing first' in a field of six of the world's best players. Perhaps he. isn’t as great as he once. wi Certainly he is not the sure, confident artist of years ago, but still he is the greatest player of them all. Jack Scott, the big North Carolina farmer, was the most remarkable j comeback of the baseball year.
