Business is business with Layton

has reached the point where he
must consider his own financial
investment.
And with two entrants in last
seasons three-cushion championship
participating in = game where there
was not one paid admission Layton
decided to change his own career.
It Ii Layton's intention to either
file his entry in the next pocket
billiard tourney or retire entirely
from active billiards.
The local cueist has opened q scr.
les of handicap pocket billiard
matches at the Layton McEniry
place and IL he finds that he can
still drop the worries In the tiny
pockets with the skin Of other

Otherwise, Johnny said that bio
would remain behind the counter
at his place out on Olive street
and promote local interest with
tournaments for the home cuelsts.
This three.cushion tournament
has turned out to be q liability, !"
Layton told me. Il finished second
In the seasons tournament and was
second in the championship play
off, yet after totaling all OF my
prize money and matching It with
my travelling and upkeep exuenses
there was q deficit for myself.
e'The three-cuahion field is too
lop-sided for one thing. In the last
two years the same four players
have competed In the final. Bob
Cannefax, Otto Reiselt, Tiff Denton,
ana myself comprise the class Of
the three cushion players.
''Whiie the cities we represent
patr0nize the games there Is alb
sOlutely no interest IN the other
places.
Another thing the seas Is
dragged out too long. You can't
mix billiards with baseball and get
q play from the sport followers.
We staged the finals this season In
May when all. Of the fans are dippy
about baseball. When Reiselt and
Denton met here In q matinee
game there wasn't a ticket sold.
Rather than have these two Eel.

ner, took q friend into the billiard
theater and sat there throughout
the match.
1T was almost the same way up
in Detroit. Kansas City didn't

did not display any unusual excite.
ment."
Layton then talked about his
plans as q pocket billiardist. He
saw the finish Of the pocket tourna-
ment in Detroit, which was won by
Ralph Greenleaf. Of Monmouth. Ill,

that his life work-the rehabilitation
of wrecked and hopeless Bowery hu-

plished DR.. Hallimond was made
president of the mission in 1899.
Everything is changed now" DR..
Hallimond had said recently. I'm the
early days we dealt with a horde of
what some called old buns Most of
them carried tomato cans under their
coats, which they used in getting the
dregs of beer kegs that were piled
outside the ubiquitous saloon. Among
them, too, were many of the knock
out drops men, who carried on a
traffic rarely. If ever heard of, nova
days. All in all, they were a hard
crowd, and so poor that we fed a
thousand nightly in our bread lines.

formed from real sink of iniQuity
