WHEN the manufacturer Of bill
liards equipment which previous
ly had sponsored world championship
Journeys decided not to hold one this
year, Polansky took things into his
own hands. He went to the National
Billiards Association and received it's
sanction to hold the title tourney.
Twelve famous players accepted his
invitation to compete for $4,000 in
prize money.
In all, Polansky has spent about
$4,000 on the tournament When
asked what he expects to get out Of
all this, he answered: "A good seat
down front. I'm not a promoter, I'm
an angel II I break even I'll be
pleased but won't feel disappointed
If I lose a thousand dollars or two"
Each Of the players has completed
one match so far. This afternoon two
more matches are scheduled, Erwin
Rudolph of Cleveland meeting Fay
Gamer Of Vineland, NJ j., and the
1886 champion, Jimmy Caras of Will
mington, Del, playing Marcel Camp
Of Detroit. Tonight Andrew PonZi,
1885 tournament winner, faces Charles
Seaback of Boston and Ralph Green
leaf of New York, IA times world
