He beat George Slosson (The Student) for a $5,000 purse and a $500 side bet. Two years later in 1908 he beat George B. Sutton, in Madison Square Garden for the 18.2 world championship. He then relinquished both titles because he objected to the conditions governing play. In 1910, when the rules were changed, he took back both championships.

Six months later Hoppe handed Cochran d a defeat worth more than $6,500 to him. The experts were ready to lay him away again in 1925, when he fell on the ice and his cue arm was badly cut.
