Reclassified, Will Not Wait to Be Drafted— Means “No More Cue Games,” He Says. By Bruce Copeland. FTER ridding the ranks of base- ball, football, bexing and vari- ous other sports of many of premier performers, the long exponent—the invincible Willie Hoppe. Hoppe is now a visitor at the hom: of his father-in-law, Thomas W. Walsh of No. 141 West 95th Street. The “boy wonder,” now thirty-two years of age, is in Class 4A of the draft, and immune from military ser- vice on that score for some time to come. Billiards Being Among Non- Essentials Now, PIANTS BACK INOLD STROE: Champion Hoppe Plans to Enlist in Navy GIANTS BACK IN OLD STRIDE; . S. Champion, Likely to Be Like many others skilful in their arts and crafts, Hoppe finds himself aguinst the immediate prospect of en- listing elther in the army or navy or having to enter what has been de- fined by the Federal authorities as productive occupation. The little champion of the tyvories realizes the hopelessness of trying to uphold his profession against the pre- cepts of Provost Marshal General Crowder, in that on and after July 1 all those now engaged in non-produc- tive occupations shall have to find es- sential employment or be reclassified in Class 1A of tho draft. While Hoppe is too much of an American to complain against the official edict and sweeping order, he feels the compunetion to declare that it will mean the end of his career as a competitive billiardist. Hoppe’s presence in New York was first noted at the Polo Grounds yes- terday. Willie has always been an ardent fan and never misses a game unless his engagements forbid. He was in a grand stand seat yesterday, pulling for the Giants to win from the Phillies, ‘They did win, and Willie was proverbially tickled to death. However, a shadow crossed the face of the grand little champion when asked concerning how the work or fight order would affect him. “It will mean that I will have to forsake billiards forever,” he re- marked furtively; and every one within earshot understood what that would mean, “Three months in the service would be enough to impair championship form beyond all hope: Soores of professional athletes, chiefly ball players who have been inducted into the service, will suffer the same fate, Hoppe believes, It is evident that such a delicate game as billiards, with its hair-spring tenston, demands constant practice and abso- lute freedom from counter-action, The star baseball player, long out of practice and perhaps with his nervous system impaired by the rigors of battle, will find himself face to face with athletic discard when he returns after any great length of time. Months of trench life will have the same effect on the bil- liardist who is goo@ enough to follow that profession for a livelihood, Inman, the great Australian billiard. ducted into the service.

Hoppe, like many others, realizes that be is unfitted for such employ ment as prescribed by the work-or fight authorities, having spent pr tically his whole life on the sr baize of the billiard table, tored competitive billiards at the of about ten years and astounded th whole world by bis feats with the cue. After mastering the balk-line game and defeating all logical opponents, he took up the three-cushion gam« and has conquered most of the star performers in that line, However, Hoppe never cared for the three cushion game, preferring to espouse the balk-linc pastime as bis true field of endeavor. “The chances are that I may enlist in the navy very shortly, now that tho work-or-fight order will autc matically put me in Class 1A of the en ce out for his future as well as he can, I think that I am better suited for naval service, and I have almost de cided to cast my lot with that branch of the service in order to do my iu Hoppe ts the undefeated cham master of balk-lino billiards-—the greatest champion the world has ever known.
