CHAMPION J. L. MALONE
Gives a Few Hints As to How the
Game Should Be played
Of His Sensational ShOts.-"En-
gIish" Transferred From Cue Ball
To Object Ball.

The visit of champion pool play er
James L. Malone to Ell Paso has re-
vived the interest in billiards and pool.
Old players are in practice on shots
picked up from Malone and novices
have sprung up by the score.
bis control of the cue ball and his study
of results have been observed carefully
and prOftably- It is noticeable when
the champion shoots, he knows, bar
ring accidental ''kisses." just where
his cue ball will stop. This he de-
clares is as important as the mere
pocketing of balls, as the manner of
"lesving" for your opponent Is often
vital in the result
Mr.. Malone in speaking of the new
game OF continuous pool, says one must
take all chances in playing for position.
The trouble with most amateurs, how
ever, is that whenever they make
long break shot and scatter the balls
they go after the easiest and nearest
ball to the pocket, which should be the
very last one to play
While still q young man, Malone
has been playing pool for twenty-five
years, and since 1883 he has figured
prominently in the first class of the ex-
perts with the worries.
Malone is celebrated not only as a
brilliant player, but as the most care
full, steady and thoughtful expert of
the lot. He seems to have q perfect
control over his nerves and has never
been known to become ratified.
Mr.. Malone is fancy shot of more

ton work is something wonderful. He
