Pennsylvania siair$i By ROBERT McSHANE f ""' iiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinui A MAGAZINE article published after the 1940 world's cham-plonsh- ip three-cushio- n billiard tour- nament labeled Willie Hoppe "the greatest living argument In favor of the pool hall." That was not an overstatement. No other man has so completely dominated a sport for so long a time as has Hoppe. Few golf fans will agree on an e standout performer. A half-doze- n veterans ringside will claim the "greatest" tag for an equal number of fighters. Baseball enthusiasts have a hundred heroes. That isn't true of billiards. Billiard greatness and Willie Hoppe are synonymous. They have been for 40 years. Willie, 53 years old, has devoted his life to the game. From the time he was seven, he practiced from four to eight hours a day. lie was a boy wonder at nine, playing exhi-bition games all over the country. Thirteen years ago he was referred to as "the grand old man of the cue." Three-Tim- e Champion In 1940 he won for the second time the world's three-cushio- n championship by winning 20 straight games, a feat comparable to a Tony Galento victory over Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis. In 1941 the New Yorker won his second consecutive three-cushio- n ti-tle, the third during his career. He lost only one match in the tournament. Hoppe's competitive career really started when he was 12. His father arranged a match for him with Al Taylor, 30 years old and one of the best balk-lin- e players in the coun- - iiaiTf&f itifltfwtW&ati WILLIE HOPPE try. Taylor started out by being amused at his diminutive colleague. His amusement gave way to a total-ly different feeling when Willie won the match by a score of 300 to 207. In the past 35 years there has nev-er been a time when Willie did not hold at least one championship. Ac-cording to his own estimate he has played or practiced billiards for about four hours a day for the last 40 years the equivalent of 6Vi years of continuous play. Allowance for Youth His singleminded devotion to the game is responsible for much of his success. While most of his boyhood friends were playing shinny, base-ball or indulging in some other strenuous pastime, Willie was at his father's pool table, figuring out the tough ones. He had to stand on a soap box because he wasn't tall enough to crouch over the edge of the table. Even today Hoppe uses a side-ar-stroke, the result of learning the game before he was tall enough to adopt a standard shot. Although billiards doesn't pay as well as it did 20 years ago, Willie still makes around $10,000 a year. In the early twenties he was mak-ing $25,000 a year. Hoppe differs from his contempo-raries in many ways. Chiefly, his technique is different. Most profes-sional players use the diamond sys-tem, which derives its name from the inlaid markers around the edge of the table. A player can figure out his shots by counting these mark-ers. Hoppe has never used this system. He prefers to figure things out in his head. This method has worked quite well for him. When he was only 13, he ran 2,000 straight billiards. Today he holds the world's record run of 25 consecutive three-cushio- n bil-liards. He has broken so many records and won so many tourna-ments that he has lost count. All of which demonstrates why Willie is known as Mr. Billiards. Sport Shorts Luke Hamlin of the Brooklyn Dodgers says bad tonsils caused his poor play last season. He has had them removed.

Just as a pleasant and cheerful home centers the life of the family, so a simple, usable commu-nity building welds and focalizes the Interests, the needs and the activi-ties of the community. NEEDS AND USES It is desirabe that people should provide in large measure at least their own amusements. It is not well that people seeking entertain-ment, or relief from routine, should find it always in motion-pictur- e the-aters or other commercialized enter-tainment centers. Who can say how much native talent has remained undeveloped because young people, Instead of putting on their own plays or building up their own dance or-chestras or operatic groups, have been content to go here or there just to see others perform? The local band, the local chorus, the local the-ater gToup can, and under suitable conditions will, serve as a developer of local talent, as a means of keep-ing local money at home, and as a source of local pride and enjoyment TYPES OF BUILDING The purpose for which the build-ing will probably be used should be carefully considered when the type of building to be erected is being decided. Certainly, the building should be planned to cater to the needs of both the older and the younger members of the communi-ty; it should provide for the presen-tation of local entertainments such as plays, pageants, Christmas and Thanksgiving celebrations, etc.; It should serve for the meeting of the grange or the farmers' club, for the 4-- groups, for the Ladies aid, for local institutes, and for home dem-onstration meetings; likewise, for political discussion groups and other community gatherings of local inter-est. The minimum essentials for a building which is to be devoted to these diverse uses will be a large main room to be used as an auditori-um, banquet hall, or dance halL as occasion may require; a stage with adequate dressing rooms; and a kitchen where food may be pre-pared; the whole to be supplied with good lighting, and with suitable heating and plumbing facilities. To these minimum requirements may be added, if funds permit, small rooms for the use of study groups, game rooms, and a nursery. LOCATING THE BUILDING , If the community is one which centers around a small town, it will be desirable to locate the communi-ty building in the town, since lights and plumbing will be more readily attainable there than elsewhere. If, however, the building is to serve the needs of a distinctly rural neighbor-hood it can well be located near the local school, church, creamery, or other common gathering place, where the task of caring for it can be most easily done. FURNISHING THE BUILDING As a rule, by the time the build-ing is constructed, funds are low, and the problem of furnishing the rooms properly becomes a major one. Let it be said, therefore, that It is better to furnish sparsely, and wait until money is available for more equipment, rather than to buy things which are cheap and shoddy. Perhaps the best plan of all is for the patrons of the project to make their own furnishings, through va-rious club projects, or else to give a series of entertainments of one sort and another to raise necessary funds. Simplicity, usefulness, and cheerfulness should be the major ob-jectives sought in the furnishing of the building. MAINTENANCE The cost of the building may vary from an infinitesimal one, consist-ing chiefly of donated local materi-als and labor, to as much as the community cares to invest. Some of the most useful and successful ones have been built with initial funds of less than $100, supplement-ed, of course, by large community enthusiasm and labor. A very successful method of raising the necessary money is the sale of stock in very small certificates, preferably, so that ownership and Interest may be widespread. Costs of maintenance are usually met by the levying of local taxes. A man-ager, and service committee, elect-ed yearly, transact all necessary business.

THE HARE AND THE RABBIT To most people there is no differ-ence between the hare and the rab-bit, though the fact is that they are two separate groups. The hares do not make burrows, but live in a sort of nest; they are long-eare- d and long-legge- d and run in long leaps, their hind legs being much longer than their fore legs. The rabbits have short ears and short legs; they make use of burrows for dwelling places; they are not capable of any extended burst of speed. Both hares and rabbits are rodents.
