Great billiards show as Willie Hoppe visits Grafton
The famed billiards champion Willie Hoppe of New York will perform a two hour exhibition at the Recreation tonight at 9 45, displaying all cue styles and brilliant shots. He will also offer free instruction on fundamentals to both women and men. Hoppe, known as the King of Billiards, recently claimed three world titles by winning the three cushion championship in Chicago. He has held major titles across balkline and cushion carom events and seeks a grand slam in billiards matching the golf metaphor of Bobby Jones. He began playing at seven and has never stopped, becoming a global icon in the sport and drawing large crowds on this tour.
