Fort Lee man this week. "And how
could we ever get along without the
press agent stunts?" he added. "You
know man can figure himself into or
out of anything"

up his home in Palisade on long |
lease to "Yank" Adams, the old finger
billiard champion of the world, who
played this interesting game when the
present balk line game was in it's in
fancy. He was never defeated for the
title. The finger-billiard game is
played without a cue, points being
scored by holding the cue ball in the
hand, between the thumb and second
or middle finger, touching the object
ball with the ball in the hand, and
causing it to spin around the table
and count on another ball. The game
was never very popular because it
seemed too easy, yet "Yank" Adams
could do many wonderful things other
cue billiardists could not begin to du-
plicate. Mr.. Adams is now white
haired, and much over sixty, looking
like man who has taken the best of
care of himself
