'(Former Star Catcher of the Cubs,
Now Leading Race for Three-Cush-

'(Former Star Catcher Of the Cubs,
Now Leading Race for Three-Cush
ion Billiard Championship
The three-cushion game is the most
popular form of billiards. Its popu-
larity Is much like that of golf and Is
due to the fact that anyone can play
ut and enjoy the contest, yet to play
1t well brings out the best the billiard
list has I'm stock. To the average play
er of billiards three cushions offers
the most action and a fair chance Of
victory even over his superior.
Ffteen-two and fifteen-three, all
'the balk-line games, are masters
games. In those games the ordinary
player has no chance, while at three
cushions u fair player with a steady
stroke and a little luck has n real
chance TO beat the man who. perhaps,
could play him 1000 to ESQ at balk-
line.
My own experience has been that
three cushions is the most fascinating
of all the table games, ~affording the
greatest opportunity for generalship
and for study OF any OF the games.
AS perhaps you know. my game has
been pool. / devoted much of my
time while a baseball player to the
fifteen-ball pocket game.
Occasionally 1 played billiards for
amusement. 1t was not until after j
had retired as a catcher that l gave
the angle game serious consideration.
Indeed, like many others, j thought
IL contained too much luck to be
really a scientific game.
The more I studied II the more pos
sibilities / saw in the game and the
more interested l became.
Tto racarphla naa IN OO1f gtrtfoL mo

Just that little edge of efficiency on
the other fellow, who finishes with an
easy putt instead Of trying for a fif-
teen-footer. Is the winner. 1t IL that
way al three cushions. You need the
little added efficiency which makes
the difference between q scratch
player and a ten-handicap man.
The first essential TO good three
cushion playing IL a strong. steady
stroke. Take a boy who never has
had a cue In his hand, tell him to hit
a billiard bah and, although he may
miss the ball, you will find that his
stroke is perfect, because IL II natural.
N~inety-nine out Of 100 players jerk,
tighten their muscles and lose the
natural stroke, recovering Il only after
long practice.
An easy. loose, steady swing of the
cue. finishing with the wrist drive
added TO the momentum Of the arm
and cue give more force and insure
steadiness.
This was overcome by practice.
The study of the unnatural angles
is one that each player must make for
himself. / doubt II any two players
apply English TO a cue ball in the
same manner There is some differ
ence in the stroke. the strength, or
something that makes the ball per-
form differently. A steady, clear eye,

only case OF father and son playing

his son Jimmy who played together

Among the present players Ty Cobb

boy who at four years could handle
himself wen with n small mitt and
who will be a player whether or not
Billy desires it. Johnny Evers' small
son Jack aspires to be as great as his
father. Frank Smiths son Bud who
acted as mascot for the Chicago White
SOX for II number OF years is a nat
ural ball player. George Mcbride has
a son who threatens to be as speedy
as his father.
II were going TO pick a future

Moriarity, the small son Of the famous
Detroit infielder. This boy Is five,
and as game and as earnest as any
