Show Billiards In the Country. Willie Hoppe, the billiard player, was discussing in New Tork the question ques-tion of summer vacations. "I like summer vacations," he said, "in the heart of the country. The only trouble with the heart of the country is that' you can't get a good game of billiards there. "Maybe you've heard about the two chaps, summering at Sunapee, who complained that they couldn't tell the two white balls apart, as neither of them had a spot. But the proprietor explained to them that It would be easy, after a little practice, to distinguish dis-tinguish the balls by their shape. "Another chap up at Sunapee asked for a "game of billiards, and when the balls were brought, gave a loud, bitter bit-ter laugh of disgust. " 'Look here,' he said, 'it's balls I asked for not dic8.'
