THIERRY iNew York, 7. Willie Hoppe has declared a “closed season” on the billiard championship for the nexi! i years or so! Here’s the reason: Jr., who will be two years oid next!

With his help wetl keep the championship in the family indeti- nitely.” Plans Baby’s Career Sounds boastful. Gut Hoppe is too! modest to boast. It’s merely his way | of saying that his whole life is - ped up in the game—that he thinks billiards, eats bi-liards, lives Dilliards and dreams billiards. He's in love with the game. And his ambition, which might have been satiated by holding the title for the past 16 years, has now been stimuiated by his buby boy. “Eve a little girl nine years old,” said Hoppe. “But it wasn’t until Willie, Jy., came that I was fired with the idea of passing the championship along to him, Early Teaching “Of course, he'll not get it handed to him as a gift. He'll have to play for it and earn it. If he doesn’t it won’t be my fault. for just as soon as he’s bi; enough to handle a cue—_| say at eight or nine—his billiard edu-, cation will begin. “Even before then he will be taught to think about billiards and to know what the balkline game means—the! scientific skill, the accuracy and keen- | ness required, and the clean living | and health upon which they depend. “I was 18 when I won the champion- | ship. Now I’m just past 33. I hope to keep the title for 15 or 20 years—' perhaps longer.

He is 27 now and the recognized master of them all. ‘Tilden is wondertul—as they say in tennis. Yet he is no marvel. The fact that he has studied harder and played his game more sincere than others has only developed him higher. Off the courts he was always figur- ing out new strokes and ways to cor- rect flaws in those he already knew. ‘On the courts he applied the results of his study. As a result he is credited with know- ing more strokes than any other living; WHICH ONE WILLGE ET CRACK AT DEMPSE player. While others develop a set style of! play Tilden’s game is a mixture of | them all. His greatest asset is in doing the | unexpected. No opponent can suc-| cessfully plan how to me€t his attack or defense. During the pest six months he has anquighed the champions of France, Engiand, America and Australia. Tilden will be called a wizard—a marvel—a super and other superla-' tives. But he isn’t. He is just an example of a fellow who stuck to his game, studied it to corect the flaws in it, played it sin-! cerely and with all his heart.
