Here is the only known photograph of Mary Louise Sharnholtzer, women's world three-cushion champion, 1883 thru 1887.
It's the only known photograph of her because cameras were so fragile in those days that they would usually shatter when she came into focus.
Big Lou, or sometimes Ugly Mary, as she was affectionately called, could nurse a shot with the best of them, male or female.
Tragically, Mary Louise was killed in the prime of her billiard playing career when she was struck by an out of control horse drawn fire engine, responding to a three alarm fire.
Her blood stained cue can be seen today in the Three Cushion Hall of Fame, in Albany, New York. :smile:

Mary Louise walked into a bar to play some....
Bartender: "so why the long face?"
That's Terry Stonier in the middle between Kim and Joe. He owned the Jointed Cue in Sacramento and was the biggest pool promoter on the West Coast for many years. He loved the pool players, just like Chuck Markulis.
Frisco Jack Cooney.
Who's this killer? Well, it's none other than West Point 1987...sorry, I'm a nobody; but I couldn't resist! :embarrassed2:
