IK Tlin sports world when a chap ulie employs his left arm te indorse his rny
cheeks does or says something thut Is it bit ent of the ordinary channels, the
right-hander shout In chorus, "lit- can't help It; he's a southpaw." Why
left-bnndera bheuld have n stranglo-held en the eccentricities has never been
sensibly eMilalned that is, assuming that ft
southpaw Is well, capricious. It is a fact,
nevertheless that baseball players who use the
right arm In throwing the cork-rered sphere
art- went te regard the fellows who use their
left as whimsical and frivolous "bugs," they
cul! 'cm.
It has been discovered that this opinion
of the southpaw extends te the billiard table,
where IMeuard Ilercninny, the llelglun cpert,
is the chief pertnlde cueist. I'nnucStletiably
the master of the masse, the spectacular (-het
that nlw.ijs thrills the gallery, lleremaiis has
lest important matches because he "stuck his
cue butt in the air." as Jee Mn.ver eiipressed
It instead of selecting what would lime been
an easier draw or carom that might net have
ill- lied a murmur of applause.
Heremans is the one left-handed cue
artist who is in the top flight of professional
fact thai he should be the cvcninc one. In tlm
course of bis muMi with Keger Centl. Trench champion, staged at the Hud
son recreation parlors Inst week, the Belgian southpaw executed masses
that were posithe! remarkable. When the balls are in a position for
him te elevate his cue. he does It in a workmanlike manner. He leans ever
and gives the la-out a .crmitmlj careless glunce. 1'p Gees the Mtek, down
.eemci the cue-point with a onlident left-hand poke and the ball scurries
iaruund te touch the ethers n if It hud human legs te carry It.
There are times when Heremans' masterj of. the masse is a gre.it nssct.
But even he can fall down en the dltiiciilt shot. Usually, tee, his mii-es end
Innings that might carry him along te victor) if he could squelch that desire,
uppesedly common with southpaws, te de the speetneu'ur. Again quoting
Jee Mn.ver, "Heremans gives the impression that he would rather earn a leitnd
.f loud applause from the gallery than win the match."

O'Hara Weed suggested thut the title tournament hheuld be staged in

would go te that country for the team competitions, and therefore expenses
would be reduced.
If his proposal should be passed America would Iks virtually Mire of tnt

This would mean that the Germantown Cricket Club would be In line

WILLIE 110PPL billiard champion, Is entertaining at the Hudsen Academy
this week with Charlie Petersen, the trick shot, but he will be entertained
en Thursday night by the sports writers at a dinner te Ins given in his honor.
There are few men in professional sports who deserve the respect and
admiration of the public mere than the chnmpien of billiardists.
Heppe is one of the cleanest-living men In sports. Neither Jehn Barleycorn
in the heyday of his career for Lady Nicotine ever succeeded in getting en
speaking acquaintance with the blend-haired cueist.
Heppe reigned for many years before young Jake Schaefcr toppled bitn
from his throne. lie outclassed the field, but he never relinquished In Ml
training nnd practicing. He kept hlmyclf In excellent physical condition by'
exercise te meet the mental nnd nerve test of a crucinl match, nnd he practiced
diligently ever the green cloth te retain the touch that makes him se famous.
The champion is a home man and devotes much of his time te his wife and
two children. In New Yerk when he regained his crown recently b.v beatlnf

La Palinas are net "just cigars," but
