QUEER RULES FOR
POCKET BILLIARDS
Players IN National Tourney
Discuss Changes TO End Abb
surd Possibilities.
HARER KEEPS ALL POSTED
~ SHEPARD q. BARCLAY.

Several things have occurred during
games Of the national amateur pocket
billiard championship tournament that
Indicate "A few rule changes would no
hurt my. A number Of the players have
discussed the questions raised and
nearly all of them feel that some action
would he desirable. The men who have
acted as referee at a majority OF the
contests. Fred L. IIarer and George Sic
bert. agree with them or some of the
suggestions.
The point, brought up most prom'-
ncn,ly Is IN regard 10 fpuls. As the rule
stands now. If a foul * committed after
the delivery of II legal stroke there Is
no penalty sXccp, that the strikers IN
ming II d and his opponent goes to nc
table. In such cases. II the player hap
pens to pocket the called ball In tho
way h" attempted to make II. he Cets
the point. despite IN" foul. That part OF
the rule. in itself. works out satisfac-
torily and fairly in a majority of cases.
Another clause of the rule applies to
fouls committed before the delivery ~
n stroke. or simultaneously with the
delivery Of II. If the foul consists OF
the cue tip touching the 4" ball III"
striker loses his turn at the table and
also a point Is deducted from his score.
In event that the foul H. In the form Of
,ontact with some other ball. then the
striker loses his turn at the table but
keeps all the points he Ia made. There
Is no penalty FOR successive fouls OF this
sort.
