Chicago (pool)

According to A Complete Hand-book of Standard Rules made in 1910, in Chicago Pool the lowest scorer "pays for the general refreshments", while the second-lowest scorer pays for the table.A Complete Hand-book of Standard Rules of all the prominent games of Billiards and Pool , (1910) New York: The Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company p.71.
