Mosconi was born June 27, 1913
Sorry johnny, it was well documented AT THE TIME that he ran 526, with
many witnesses. Why he decided to start lying about missing is beyond me.
There is NO bs, thank you very much. Now go back to investigating JFK.

First Woodstock was in Spokane, Wa....hehe
I can assure you that none of George's relatives know anything about the table.
Neither does anyone at Airway, tho they do know plenty about George.
I'll have to check, but I think the 1954 era tables were all long gone by the time
George and Russ owned East High.

This ^ is the best response I've seen in this thread. thank you Bdorman. Evidently, I can't give you any more rep till I spread it around.
I'm guessing there's an inside joke in there somewhere
Dale(who thinks the first Woodstock was just down the road from Oxford, UK)
Which means he spent a couple of decades learning to play on 10 ft tables prior to 1950 and nonetheless has nothing to do with Brunswick producing tables with 4.5" pockets.
George did not have any children .
Find some information on a Anniversary, Centennial, Sport King, GC1, GC2, or GC3, with 4 1/2" corner pocket produced by Brunswick, as we don't live in the 1800s, and no one plays pool with 2 5/16ths balls today
What table was used in this tournament, and did Brunswick sponsor the tournament, or was Brunswick pool tables the table of choice to hold the tournament on. Did Brunswick make the pockets to those dimensions, or did some pool table mechanic make them 4 1/2" because the tournament officials wanted tables with tighter pockets than Brunswick offered at that time, because they wanted the tournament to be more challenging?
No where in that statement did it say Brunswick made the pockets 4 1/2" nor did it mention what pool table was being used.....nice try though:thumbup:
Yep, someone started playing pool at the same time they starting walking, played Ralph Greenleaf in an exhibition at the age of 6, yep, 6. And then went on to win 15 World Championships, noted as one of the best, if not the best "cueist" of all time, made a very good living playing pool, sponsored by Brunswick, elected to the Hall of Fame, and a technical advisor on the movie "The Hustler", probably could never be the record holder of running the most balls in an exhibition, in game nobody could beat him at :banghead:

Someone is trying to weasel out of a statement LOL "never" is a long time
Who's trying to weasel out of anything, Mr Bond provided no proof what so ever that it was Brunswick that built the pockets to those specs for that tournament or which tables were provided or available to be bought with 4 1/2" corner pockets:thumbup:
That is not a reference, that is you relating your personal experience.
You cannot make the leap from your personal experience to saying Brunswick "never" did anything. Brunswick produced thousands of tables in a wide variety of models. Unless you provide something from Brunswick, you can't get to "never."

Robert; I will soon post a thread or respond in this one that will answer many questions, mainly about, Willie and his documented 'High Run' 526, and also another VERY high run that was not as documented!
It will include a phone interview with the foremost authority on Willie Mosconi in the country, and his views on the acceptance and denial of others opinions of the '526' run, the players of yesteryear and today in comparison to Willie!
I played on the 526 table in 1968...at the urging of Russ Maddox.
I used to visit his Pickwick club in Dayton....which became the first Airway before it
moved to the east of I-75.

Wow, feeling a little stubborn are we?
You said that they never played on 4.5" pockets ( choice #1)
I hope you can see that you were mistaken.
And for the record, it wasn't just A tournament Glen, those were the specs for all pro level tournies. And Brunswick sponsored/staked almost every single one, not just stipulating but demanding that they ALL be played on Brunswick tables with Brunswick cushions and Brunswick balls.
To think that Brunswick would require these specs for 60 plus years and never produce a table that matched said specs is pretty silly. But hey, believe what you want bro, its a free country. But I'd say you were mistaken twice.
book collector...I don't doubt you, as I never knew George personally. I sat down and talked with George several years ago, at Airway...just normal conversation. He mentioned "grandson", but he could have been talking about a nephew, or even just a young person that he took an interest in. We "forget" lots of things as we get to an extended age.
