Stevenson, English Billiards
Expert, Tells of His Own
top of the Table"
Work.

Comments about Hopes superb sec
ond ball play in the recent handicap
tournament have aroused general in
tercst in that feature of balkline bill
iards. As a result, there have been al
most endless chains OF questions con-
corning il. The best explanation OF It
ever voiced or written was contributed
TO 1.-THE London Sportsman" IN 1901 by
Henry W. Stevenson, onetlme cham
pion of English billiards, who is con
sidered the best "top OF the table" ex-
ponent of the game England has ever
produced. TOP Of the table" play cor
responds to end manipulation IN the
United States. "Cannons" in England
src "caroms" here. When Ives went TO
England in 1898 to play Roberts he
demonstrated the strength Of rail nurs-
ing and caroming 10 the British. Since
then English billlardsts generally have
become so adept at rail nursing that
restrictions have been placed upon II,
while Rccce and Stevenson have mas
tered end play. Although fourteen
years old, Stevenson explanation Of
top of the table" work, which applies
with equal force 20 second ball pay in
America, is instructive to all classes Of
II is as follows:

Anybody who can hold a cue would

the bare stroke. But the score in the
op-of-the-table game is only half the
thing. The other aad more important
half is to keep the balls in good posi-
ton. To do this the player has as
often as not TO make the most simple
looking shot quite difficult one.
"The stroke that tries one most is
the delicate cannon made on fourth
