During my career in the majors I Ihave seen scores of stars fade out, fnot without a struggle, however.

Nie XN AH-HAAAA- THE CHAMPION MISSES A BILWARD While every champion in any branch of sport. sooner or later is de throned, the defeat of Hoppe by Schaefer a year ago was o huge sur- piise. The sympathy of every lover The glad hand was extended by just as many when he regained his title by defeating Schaefer. “How come Schaefer happened to beat you, Willie?” I asked. ‘The ofd mental hazard turned the trick,” he replied. “Early match I failed several time to make shots that I should have executed. I began to think that I wase off my stroke, that I couldn’t make them. The old mental hazard was constant- ly in front of me. ‘Rarely have I ever been so afflicted. I had a half{ dozen big chances but failed to take advantage of them, Championship | poise was lacking in that match. | There you have the reason for mp defeat.” Hoppe is one champion who alway- tries to give the fans a run for their money. He takes every exhibition seriously, plays his very best and fe isappointed when he fails to do! something unusua’, something the fans really expect a champion to per- | form. It is really surprising what a li tle thing will do with a champion‘s game. Recently I saw Hoppe per- 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 evening. That table is just like asking a big league ball player to perform on a skinned dia mond. The cushions are livelier than the ball they used in the big league last year.” * Hoppe was right. It required ni flock of innings to complete the af- ternoon’s play In the evening the cushions were changed, and Hopre demonstrated why he is champion,. by running out hiv $00 points in two innings, getting 204 and an unfin- ished run of 96. Hoppe is playing in. fine form at present. Four times since regaining his title, he has. run. out blocks of 300 points in exhibition. matches. i | vahia ‘at Philadelp back in the days when Dan MeGugin | first started turning out wonderful machines at Vanderbilt. ~ It will be recalled that in 1906 the] Vanderbilt Commodores defeated the | great Carli Indians, then at, the peak of their glory, by a store of 4 to 0, and in 1910 the Corimodore’ held Yale to a scoreless tie in New| Haven, Two years later the Vanderbilt team held a great Harvard eleven to a 9 to 3 score, and from time to time achieved singular success in inter- sectional competition.’ Only lhst season McGugin’s fine combination held Michigan to a scoreless tie. ~ Hopes for Even Break A survey of the tentative sche- dules for 1928 reveals the fact that many Dixie teams will invade the north for games that ‘should rank among the best of the season. There is a touch of color to these clashes between the greatest teams of the country and the cream of.the south- ern grids that cannot be matched even in “Big Three” or “Big Ten” play..

Guthrie, who received a trial in the American League last fall, is decisive New York was playing at Washing- ton. Witt was the leadoff man in the opening inning. Very fleet of foot, he hit a slow bounder to the ineld, and made a very close play at first for Guthrie. The umpire called him out and Witt immediately start- ed, to squawk. ““Dont be singing the ‘blues’ to me,” was Guthrie’s reply, “I know all the words to that song.” Witt persisted in telling Guthrie low blind he was and what a rotten decision he had made. It was the same old story the umpire hears hundreds of times during the sum- mer. “Same old blues!” said Guthri he listened to ‘Witt’s chatter, “If haven't any new. stuff. you better be on your way or you are through.” Witt | persisted. “I have just tied a can on you.
