MISCUE TAKES HOPPE’S FINAL TITLE CHANCE Willie Tells of Situation That Gives Schaefer Opening to Run Out. PRAISES THE CHAMPION (Editor's >'ots) —Willie Hoppe, famous rue wizard, lost Ms chance to regain the world's 18.2 balk line billiard championship last night on a mlscue. Today the former champion tells his view of the fatal mlscue and of the great contest itself, which is de'Lured by billiards experts to be the most thrilling ever staged in the history of the game. To the victor, Jake Schaefer, the defeated challenger, who himself held the title for sixteen years gives fuU credit. “A peerless player,” lloppe says of Schaefer. BY WILLIE HOPPE. CHICAGO, March 30.—1 lost my chance to win back the title a miscue, not through a psychological situation created by the cries of a gallery fan or the remarks of the referee immediately preceding the fatal slip. in happened this way: I was shooting, trying to run out. Schaefer was 1,49 w. He had only ten to go. I knew I couldn't afford to give him another shot. As I was about to shoot point 1.463, somebody in the great crowd upstairs shouted:' ‘‘Shoot!" I had my cue poised to make a difficult masse, and because of the critical situation at the moment I was proceeding with the utmost caution. I shot. I made it. Then, acting from the very best motive. Referee Herbert Levis raised his voice and informed the gallery that further interruption or annoyances would not be tolerated. As I was about to shoot again the ovation that greeted the referee's remarks shook Orchestra Hall. 1 was attempting a long draw and was aiming at the cue ball with plenty of English on it. I let go, hit tae cue ball Jnit a little too low and It flipped to one side, bounced once or twice and my chance for the title was gone. Schaefer, a peerless player, if there ever was one, ran ten and the match was over. Score: Schaefer, 1,500; Hoppe, 1,468. I have absolutely no alibi. The better man won. I do not blame the man in fcte gallery. I do not abOTe all. blame the referee. I figure it was one of the "breaks” in the game that I mlscued—the only miscue of the contest. It was a tense, hard-fought contest throughout and the result was always in doubt. My friends say it was a "thriller.'' and I have no doubt of that, for seldom, if ever, have I been under such a strain. Schaefer is a remarkable billiard player and a gentleman. Naturally I am rather disappointed. I do not know what the procedure will be for me to get another chance at the title, but I know I shall long for the opportunity of again meeting the present champion of balk-line billiards in a match for the title. Score by innings of the last block, final scores and grand averages: Shaefcr— 59. 107. 2. 22. 20. 3, 28, 4. 0. 0. 0. 213, 29. 3. 10. 500-500-500—1.600. Averages. 33 5-15; grand average. 43 12-31.

Blue-Eyed Alice First to Console When Daddy Is Overcome by Defeat

BY JAMES KILO ALLEN. CHICAGO. March 30.—A girl of 10. with golden hair and eyes of blue, furnished the dramatic climax to the thrilling 15.2 balk-line billiards championship match here last night which was won by Jake Schaefer, the title holder. She was Alice Hoppe, daughter of the defeated challenger, tha renowned Willie Hoppe. For three nights she had sat with her mother in a box overlooking the green covered billiard table, upon which the bitter struggle was staged. She sat there each night, her little hands clasping and unclasping, her frail form bent tensely forward. At times she was radiantly happy. Again she would be plunged into the depths of dejection. She was her dad's “mascot.” And then Dad lost. As the great crowd filed out of Orcheatri Hall, Hoppe stood, arms folded, looking with unseeing eyes at a spot on the billiard table. He had not left the stage. A little hand touched his arm. “Dad—Oh, Dad,” was all she could say. The big tears trickled down her cheeks. “Don't—Oh, Alice, please don't—you mustn't—.” She was it his arms. Then Hoppe turned his face away. And down his cheek rolled a tear, and it was a great big tear, too. And he was not ashamed.

Lambert Takes Up Duties as Diamond Mentor at Purdue LAFAYETTE, Ind., March 30.—With his pitchers rapidly coming around into good condition and with tlie entire squad doing well In early season practice Assistant Coach Pierce has turned over the Purdue baseball squad to Coach Lambert, who has been recuperating for the last two weeks from the strenuous grind of turning out the Big Ten championship basket-ball team. Pierce will remain at Purdue in charge of the freshmen baseball squad. Prospects for a fairly successful season this year for the Boilermaker diamond squad appear the 'best in almost five years. In addition to Wallace and Wagner mainstay httrlers last season, Lambert has anew man, Campbell, a sophomore, who is showing all the signs of a reliable twirier in early season work-' outs.

Walther and McQuade, sophomores, are both doing well at the backstop position. In the infield Straek, Morgan. Captain Fawcett and Murphy, veterans, are coming along fast, and are being pushed for positions by Freeman, Allsop. Hall and Kallmeyer, new men who may make some of the veterans sir on the bench this season. Eversman and K. I. Fawcett are the only regulars back in the outfield. and both of these men seemed to be fairly sure of earning a berth on the nine. Six likely looking candidates are scrapping it out for the other garden Job. Hitting practice is being stressed more than ever this year, and if development continues up into the season as it has since practice begnn, Purdue should have a consistent hitting club. The Hamilton club of the MichiganOntnrio League, rated as one of the strongest contenders for the championship of that circuit this year, will arrive at Purdue April 2, to begin a month's training.

YANKEES LOOK GOOD TO TAKE ANOTHER FLAG Lots of ‘ifs’ Connected With Prediction, but Team Is Admittedly Strong. WEAK AT START, MAYBE BY HENRY FARRELL. NEW YORK, March 30.—Chances of the New York Yankees in the 1922 Pennant race might be acquired by twisting that old adage to read—“ Tell me your pitchers and I will tell you what you are." The Yankees have the pennant winning team of 1921 together with Just about the finest pitching staff that ever has assembeld. Carl Mays, Waite Hoyt Sam Jones. Joe Bush, Bob Shawkey, Harry Harper, Lefty O Doul and maybe a good rookie. That combination backed by a heavy hitting offense and good defense looks like it ought to be good for almost, a hundred games, and no team in the league, including the dangerous Browns, the improved Senators, or the fighting Indians can beat that mark. With any kind of luck in avoiding bad accidents or tremendous reversals in form the Yanks ought to go through in a breeze Perhaps the Yanks haven't the best infield in the league, but they have a good one. Scott at shortstop won t make it any better than it was last year, and Baker at third is an uncertainty with bad legs. Ward is a good second baseman, but he is out of place, and I’lpp is Just an ordinary first baseruan. llowever it is a balanced combination and It lias worked together With Hike McNally and Johnny Mitchell as reserves, the team is in a fair way. _ „ _ The regular outfield of Ruth, Miller ana

Meusel, can’t compare with the great old Red Sox combination, and it is far from the best in the league, but it gets along. While Ruth anti Meusel are serving their sentence for barnstorming last fall. Manager Huggins will use Chick Fewter, a hard working conscientious boy\ in Ruth’s place, and McMillan, a rookie phenom, in M -usei's place. McMillan said to be a "second Ruth” with the nar and the same kind of a fielder as the swat king—not so good. Huggins believes that he can get along five weeks with a make.-'iift outfit. There is no reason to believe he is wrong. With Wally Schang. A1 Devoriner and Fred Hoffman doing the catching there is no worry about this end. Schang can also be used in the outfield If needed.
