BILLIARDIST SUTTON
 CLEVER AT NURSING
Possesses Figure More PopuIarly
 Known as AIdermaniG.
Close Play Is His Speciality and His Stroke Is Essentially "Poo"-Hits Ball Clean and Smooth and
 Effectively.

George B. Sutton does not look like a billiard player. He looks more like a retired banker is supposed to look. With figure popularly known as al- dermanic, mass of gray hair and a big flowing mustache, his is a striking personality.
 If you were sitting in a billiard room looking for game and MT. Slut ton should appear and ask you to play, you would be glad to take him on i; and if he suggested, which he would not, that you play 100 points for $10, you wouldn't take his money; you wouldn't take advantage of a pleasant gentleman who just came in to pass a pleasant hour or so playing billiards. You wouldn't take his money. No, it's a cinch you wouldn't.
 Sutton is~ known as the nurse king. Of course, he does other things we'll, too, but close play is his speciality. His is essentially pool" stroke. He was a very good pool player before he took up billiards. Once upon time Sutton

had room in Brooklyn. He has sev- eraI varieties of strokes-three or four. He has been heard to say that in play. ing against So-and-So he would use his No. 8 stroke. Whichever stroke he may use it is the oldest of all the bfl- nardists. He uses long 21-ounce cue which he holds loosely in his fingers, takes quick back stroke and lunge at the ball. However, he hits a ball smooth and clean and effectively, is good judge of distance and his delicacy of touch always is surprise to one who sees him play for the first time.
 MT. Sutton plays in his shirt sleeves. All the other players have specially made jackets with silk sleeves, except Hoppe, who plays in dinner coat, un- less 1t be in the afternoon, when he, too, wears jacket. MT. Sutton has a billiard room in Chicago, is said to own farm and be wealthy. He has held both the 18.1 and the 18.2 cham pionships.

 To back up though, to be on the defensive now and then, does not mean that a boxer is losing. Benny Leonard Is very often backing up on his opponents. Leonard uses this method to draw his opponent. to him in the open and give him a better op- portunity to put over a knockout punch if he desires to. Richie Mitchell Is an aggressive fighter, yet he often Is waiting for the other fellow to come to him. Pete Herman is defensive fighter, but he meyer loses. He can come out of his shell whenever he de- sires and whip his opponent. Jack Brftton is the same sort of scrapper.
