Kudos to Greg Hunt and Amsterdam Billiards for holding this event. This is a real treat for the NYC 14.1 communtiy.

Mr. Jewett.......do you think that maybe we could look at this glass as half-full instead of half-empty......and not dwell on what these sponsors aren't doing.... instead of what they are? It's not like straight pool is exactly rolling in money these days. Take a deep breath, pal. Why would...

Short notice, but there is a handicapped one pocket tournament tomorrow (Sunday, December 5) at Society Billiards at 12:00 noon. 10 East 21st Street in Manhattan. societybilliards.com 212-420-1000

Caudron at this time Having been to the last 3 Sang Lee tournaments, I think that Caudron is in the best zone these days. I saw him play a private exhibition in Manhattan against Raymond Cuelemans and he was dazzling. He may be on Blomdahl's trajectory over the long haul. Time will tell.

9 Ball Luddites Hey, doesn't anyone care about the announcement that there will be another World Championship in Straight Pool played again in 2008 in the New York/New Jersey area ?!!? Anyone still interested in 14.1 ? Or are we too preoccupied with Kevin Trudeau's latest ploy or the...
