INTERESTING To THE "SPoRT.s-The last
number of the Billiard Cue contains an an
nouncement from Mr.. Phelan of an important
change in the bylaws of the game of billiards.
Heretofore when the cue-ball was in contact
with another or "frozen" the player must strike
another ball before the one with which he was
in contact, in order to count. Mr.. Phelan an
nounces that aftar the first Of January, play
er, if his ball be frozen, can count provided he
plays away from the ball with which he is in
contact, although on the feturn of the cue-bal
from the cushion or n,asss il touches that to
which it was frozen first The rule seems fair,
and will occasionally lengthen a run.
