Wonder

A MOTHER boy wonder has
been discovered. In Port
Huron, Mich, a nine.year-old
youngster has startled I.
followers of billiards by the
exceptional prowess he has
shown at pocket billiards.
His name is George Askar,
ne has been playing the game
but seven months, and has
progressed so rapidly that
he recently made a run Of 43.
In spite Of his short stat
ure he never sits on the ta-
bic to execute his shots, max
ing a majority Of them while
standing on the floor, and
seldom does he use a bridge.
He shows fine Judgment in
selecting his shots, and his
execution and position play
are remarkable.
