Jan. Willie Hoppe, a sports headliner for the past 35 years, was fighting a threatened attack of pneumonia today a.s his three-cushion billiards rival.s made final preparations to compete in the annual international tournament. Hoppe, stricken with influenza last Tuesday, suffered a relapse last night and was removed from his downtown hotel to St. Luke hospital, w'here he was placed under the care of a private nurse. The attending physician said that the three-cushion billiard champion was worse last night and that he was threatened with pneumonia.

Hoppe has been in bed since he collapsed while playing Jake Schaefer of Cleveland Thursday night in the final block of their 480-point title match. The physician explained that resistance was low because the cue expert refused to go to bed Tuesday or Wednesday, insi.sting on completing his match with Schaefer. Hoppe was original- Iv to begin defense of his title Monday in a round-robin tournament against a field of 17 contenders, including five former champions. Millff. 13 L.

According to Nova and his manager, Ray Carlin, they were assured of meeting Conn for an ultimate Louis bout, if they won, and that as soon as they signed up Promoter Mike Jacobs announced that Conn would meet Louis, leaving Nova slightly on the outside looking in. Back in the dressing room, after giving Comiskey the worst beating he ever will suffer unless LOU NOVA. somebody loads up with paving blocks, Nova said: Expects Conn Next, supposed to meet Conn next if Jacobs sticks by his agreement. If I have Conn, then take Max Baer, although already stopped him once, or I would accept Tony Galento who stopped me.

He even breathing hard at the finish although he had set the pace through most of the fight to win nine of the 10 Comiskey put on one spurt to take the third, but otherwise was out-boxed and out-fought. Comiskey really took a terrible battering. He was dropped in the first round by a left hook for no count, then cut about the eyes and mouth through the rest of the rounds and floored again in the tenth for nine, by which time he was virtually helpless. Nova left the ring without a mark on him. Comiskey Exploited.

Nova had too many tricks for the young, terribly exploited New Jersey fighter. The big Californian simply got a workout agaimt a punching bag, which only a few months ago was regarded as a potentially, great fighter. Comiskey can hit, but never had the remotest chance of landing solidly, and so the fight went. It was about this way: Nova would feint and punch and land, and when Comiskey would try to punch Nova wouid make him miss and counter with all he had. Round after weary round he battered and bashed Comiskey, who left the ring looking like something cut out of the funny papers, and probably got himself eliminated for years to come from heavyweight consideration, in the light of the fact that in his last important fight he was stopped by Baer in one round.

Down in the section of South Philadelphia, where Forte w'as bom and reared, fight fans already consider the challenger as the world champ. The return match, they clairn, will only serv'e to make official the victory Forte scored over Salica in a 10-round non-title bout a few months ago. The odds which favored Lou 12-5 when the match was made, have dropped to to five and, with plenty of Forte money around, were expected to go even lower before the pair enter the ring. As for the principals, each is highly confident, Lou readily admits the challenger, who floored him for a nine count in their first meeting is the hardest hitter he ever faced. He caught one oft the button, Salica says, because he under-estimated ability and didn't train too hard for the first bout.

Big John, standing well over six feet and built proportionately, broke into the limelight last week by winning the $10,000 Los- Angeles first big tournament of the year. This netted the 26-year-old shotmaker from Chicago via North Carolina a fat $3,500 purse, probably the biggest he has ever copped since competing against the famous pros. Although he has gnined national recognition w'ithin the past year. Bulla has been playing topnotch golf since 1936. In that year, he qualified for the last day of play in the national open at Baltusrol and, only because of a poor final round, failed to finish in the money.

Sixth In His next best season in 1939. At that time he finished sixth in the open, despite a poor final He was only three strokes off the top of the heap. He also was the runner-up in the British open in that year. Bulla, an outspoken fellow, is not particularly w'ell-liked by the professionals. Unlike most of his colleagues, John is not a member of the Professional association.

He has never served the required five years as a club pro or assistant pro to join the organization. Drug Salesman. As a sideline. Bulla acts as a drug salesman for a nationally known drug store concern w'hich makes the 35-cent balls he uses in the tourneys. This action, of course, causes the other pros, who w'ork for sporting goods houses, some consternation.

Their companies make balls which cost the at least twice as much as the 35-cent ball. At the national open in Cleveland last year, Bulla was a member of the trio, including Ed Oliver, w'hich teed off 30 minutes before the official fathers gave the signal. All three were disqualified, Oliver losing the opportunity of playing off for the title and Bulla of finishing in the money. An exceptionally long-hitter. Bulla is a very close friend of Sammy Snead.

Boston Meet Draws Aces; Littler Out BOSTON. Jan. indoor track heroes, if warned by the lot of the then supposedly invincible Glenn Cunningham, will go when they match their speed against a threatening contingent of the board new recruits tonight in the annual Veterans of Foreign Wars meet at the Boston Garden.

As usual, this meet as the opening of the major indoor track campaign and, very likely, its early date will find some of the top-notchers ill-prepared for the testing competitions in store for them. Among the milers down to start are such standouts as Chuck Fenske of Wisconsin, the sensation of the 1940 season; Johnny Mun- ski of Missouri, the recent Sugar Bowl victor; Leslie MacMitchell of New York university; Walter Mehl, also of Wisconsin, who has quit the two-mile field, and, last but not least, the veteran Gene Venzike, who amazed the track fans here last year when he started Cunningham on his downfall by nosing him out with a 4:13.1 performance. The two-mile field included Greg Rice of Notre Dame, the indoor- record-holder; Don Lash, Tomy Deckard, Luigi Beccali of Italy, and such serious new threats as Ralph Schwartzkopf of Michigan, and able Bill Atkinson, the I.
