The Gentlemen Playing Pool Found 1t
Needed an Umpire to End the Game.
From the Buffalo Express.
Two men were playing pool, with great
earnestness and interest. even If with little
skill. A man sat doing on the settee be-
side the table. The players dubbed along
with many disputes and miscues and
scratches. Each won a game. They had
been playing close-your-eyes- and bump-into-
them Observation-Disclosures. At the conclu-
sion of the second game the man who had
won. consumed by his own vanity propos-
ed a game of call shots.
The other man assented. and they began
with great show of studying lines and
called many shots and made few of them.
Finally, with two balls each, the man who
proposed the call-shot game said: "Safety"'
and sent his ball into the bunch. The cue
ball went to the cushion, hit a ball and
came slowly back. Two other balls In the
bunch rolled lazily to the upper rail, also.
Hold on there!" said the second man,
that was a scratch. Put down a ball.
You owe one"
Get outr' fred back the other man.
You talk like student in the kinder
garten pool class. That was safety. just
as called it,"
Called nothing This Is call-shot game.
Every shot has got to be called and every
shot must be made on some definite object

me. Put down ball.
''Pll do nothing of the kind NV shot was
perfectly proper Go on and shoot and

In this game. tell you that in a call-shot
game you have to shoot at certain ball.
Now, don't delay the game any longer Put
down ball and I'll shoot"
You blamed fool! I'll not do it. I know
what I'm stalking about
They stood there and disputed for fen
minutes The argument grew warmer at
each exchange of opinions. Finally the
man Who made the safety, said: .'WeIl.
there's ne, use standing here and arguing
about It, III leave it to anybody in the
Leave II to this gentleman, then" said
the other man, pointing to the dozer on
the settee.
They went over. explained the situation.
The dozeS asked many questions, and then
Strengthened up and looked wise "As d
understand 1t. gentleman" he said. "the
contention is over the shot One claims he
had right to do as he did and the other
claims he had no such right"
