eargr as the Sixteenth century, since Shake
speare speaks of it, although when he repre-
sents Cleopatra rs amusing herself with the
game he probably commits an anachronisin.
The first reliable accounts are from certain
manuscripts once TIE property OF Sir Reginald
Mortimer, one of the Knights Templar who
returned from the first crusade and after
ward Joined the second one, led by Richard
Cuur de Leon. According to these manu-
scripts the game was introduced by the
knights, and was viewed with great favor as
Il healthful recreation. After time interest
in the game lanSuished and finally died out
entirely, and it was not revived until Louis
XI assembled the throne of France. From
this time on the game of billiards became
very popular one. 1t pleased the tickle fancy
Of the French, and thus became u permanent
nStitution.
According to history, Mary Queen of
Scots was a lover of the game, and was al
lowed the privilege of a table during her i'm
prisonmcnt 1t was taken away from her
shortly before her execution. SO much for
lie origin of the game.
George Washington and Alexander Hamil-
ton were both good players and possessed
tables in their private houses In the an
nexed cut Thomas jefferson, Alexander Ham
iIton and Lafayette are represented as par
Elephants in the game, of which George
Washington is a spectator. Lafayette was
accustomed to billiards in France.
ESr two centuries billiards was played with
only two balls, when the red ball was i'm
ported from France. The cushions down TO
ahSrecent date were lined with felt The
game as played in America is entirely diff
ferent from the old game as played in Eng
land. The tables in common use are of three
sizes: Six feet in width by 70 feet In length,
by 10 and 4 by s. 1t is not necessary to
describe the construction of a table for

that its horizontal position must be estab-
hshed with mathematical exactness. The

Here is where the real enjoyment comes in
when one has arrived at the stage where
he can appreciate the fine plays of the ex-
perts, although unable to initial: them. All
can't be Schaefers or Ole Bulls. Jake is
nervy-another thing for beginners to re-
member, In Chicago, in 1888, Vignaux had
only 81 points to go, 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
curt nasse 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 q great advantage over the less
fortunate player Many brilliant exhibit
ton player goes to pieces in a match and is
beaten by his own lack of nerve. When
playing a game give your undivided atten-
ton to it; don't so running about the room
talking to Tom, Dicl; 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 natural knack for the
game may defeat, after weeks practice,
the nan who discounted him at first

other substances with the greatest care. A
table with poor cushions is an aboninatioa.
The combination cushions now in use were
patented in 1854 by Michael Phelan, famous
AhSRlcan player. The best balls are made
ofTthe finest East India ivory. Composition
balls are also used by second hand pool rooms,
but they don't find favor with experts. The
subject of composition balls brings to mind
story that is pretty old, but coed enough to
retelL
About twenty years ago Jim Furicng kept
billiard room in Quincy, Ills. Among the
players who used to meet there were Sam
Furlong, his brother, and Bill Morgan,
Mississippi pilot, very profane man and an
expert billiardist. 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 FurlonS were engaged in
game and using the first set of composition
b@lls introduced into Quincy Bill had been
having = bad run of luck, the balls would kiss
when Ices! expected, or go off at an entirely
different angle to that anticipated. Bil was
working himself into an awful stew. Curses
loud ana long flowed from his mouth as
sweetly and easily as water from mountain
srring At last in the middle of a run he got
the balls in 4 position where q table shot
would be likely to bunch them; he attempted
the shot, but as the bail took the last angle
the object ball rolled up against it
and ruined the shot. Enraged with Gisap-
pointnent. he struck the cue ball a ter
rible welt with the butt end of his

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 splinters out of the balls and fat
ten the cushions
1t should always be bornein 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 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 time when Schaefer and Bessunger
were to play an exhibition game Of 0Opoints,
straight rail, Bessunger worked himself into
a terrible stew because his favorite cue was
missing. Never mind, Jack, =" said Schaefer
in an undertone, perhaps you won't need

play billiards unless he hold his cue properly.
The cue should be loosely held near the butt
by the right hand, and should be kept as
