Here is where the real enjoyment comes in
when one has arrived at the stage whene
he can appreciate the fine plays of the ex-
perts, although unable TO initiate them. All
can't be Schaefers or Ole Bulls. Jake is
nervy-another thing for beginners to re-
member. In Chicago, in 1853, Vignaux had
only 90 points to 80, and Jake had 103
He was cool and steady when he took his
turn, playing his first shot with his left hand
and following it up with some fine and diff
cult masse shots, run out and won the game,
which was worth $1,000 to $1,000 to him, be-
sides the title of champion
An inferior player whose nerve is good at
the start can often beat good player by
getting an early lead in the game, too great
to be overcome when the better player pulls
himself together. There is always excite
ment connected with the game, but the man
of nerve has great advantage over the less
fortunate player. Many brilliant exhibi-
ton player goes to pieces in match and is
beaten by his own lack of nerve When
playing game give your undivided atten-
ton to it; don't go running about the room
talking to Tom, Dick and Harry. 1t is not
uncommon for player to improve so that
in two weeks he is able to give odds to man
who first interested him in the game. A be-
ginner who has a natural knack for the
game may defeat, after weeks practice,
the man who discounted him at first
Wichita eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1886-1890, 1889-11-03

Uf course there are shots where it is impossi-
BILE to make them with the cue in that posi-
ton. The bridge formed by the left hand
should rest firmly and steadily ON the table,
about six inches from the cue ball. The stroke
of the cue should be given by the force of
the wrist and forearm only. Right here is
where most players make their mistake by
playing with the whole arm, and banging as
if to knock splnters out Of the balls and fat
ten the cushions
1t should always be BONE in mind that skill
and quickness, rather than muscular strength,
are required. There are, however, many
fancy shots which experts do where muscle
plays an important part. 1t is. of course, i'm
possible to give directions here for any of
those methods by which balls can be made to
perform many apparently impossible feats.
Jacob Schaefer is a born billiard player, and
when in form plays a remarkably snowy and
brilliant game. He is great favorite, and
makes friends wherever he goes, but he is up
to the tricks of the trade. 1t is related that
once on a time when Schaefer and Bessunger
were to play an exhibition game Of 40Opoints,
straight rail, Bessunger worked himself into
a terrible stew because his fayorite cue was
missing "Never mind, Jack, said Schaefer
in an undertone, perhaps you won't need
it." Whereupon Schaefer won the bank,
counted from the lay off and ran the game
out.

Humor in the Pulpit.

At s meeting of Baptist clergymen in New
York recently the advisability of being fun
ny in the pulpit was discussed. This is a very
delicate matter, and not to be disposed OF off
hand. Most of the brethren were inclined TO
think that little seasoning of hunaor In q
discourse is good, because Ii terds 10 keen
the audience awake and attentive. One
speaker. however, took the opposite view. He
said that, if a minister once permits himself
to be humorous, his hearers will expect lin,
to be 80 as regular thing, and consequently
little by little he viii degenerate into a sort
of religious mountebank.-Boston Post

pther substances with the greatest care. A
table with poor cushions is an abonination.
The combination cushions now in use were
patented in 1854 by Michael Phelan, famous
American player. The best balls are made
of the finest East India ivory. Composition
balls are also used hy second hand pool rooms,
but they don't find favor with experts The
subject OF composition balls brings to mind a
story that is pretty old, but good enough to
retell.
About twenty years ago Jim Furlong kept
a billiard room in Quincy, LIS. Among the
players who used to meet there were Sam
Furlong, his brother, and Bill Morgan, a
Mississippi pilot, q very profane man and an
expert bilnardist. If the game didn't pro-
gress to his satisfaction he would commence
to swear. run down the table, balls and play
ers, and eventually throw up his cue. As the
story goes, he and Furiong were engaged in q
game and using the first set of composition
balls introduced into Quincy. Bill had been
having bad run of luck, the balls would kiss
when least expected, or go off at an entirely
different angle to that anticipated Bill was
working himself into an awful stew. Curses
loud and long flowed from bis mouth as
sweetly and easily as water from a mountain
