Mike Zuglan usually begins to sign up players for Turning Stone one year in advance, capping the entrants at 128. Once Zuglan collects the entry fee, there is a no refund policy. That's why most top touring pros, especially those from Europe and Asia, don't play. Most of the top pros from...

Also, in 2006, he was inducted into Buffalo's Boxing Hall of Fame for his accomplishments in the sport.

You're right. It was Miami, not Chico. Miami told me that Aguzatate choked for big money....maybe Miami was just barking? Brooklyn Jimmy offered to play me $10 nine-ball if I gave him the 8. What a character! Rex was always there, dressed to the nines, and Flaco, Staten Island, Country, plus...

I witnessed Miami (from Puerto Rico) and Aguzatate shooting jacked up one-handed at Paddy's 7-11, back in the early '60's, right after "The Hustler" premiered in 1961. Aguzatate was practicing by himself, while Miami was walking around Paddy's, trying to make lock up games. Aguzatate was the...

Yes, he’s dropped completely out of sight. What a great 14.1 player! I hope we get to see him again.

We will cap it at about 48 players. But we have enough tables to accommodate 56 players. We hope Filler will enter.

Paddy's 7-11, NYC, upstairs above the Metropole Cafe'. Every champion, hustler, short-stop and "civilian" passed through the doors of the "7-11". Ames Billiards, dark and classic. Became famous after "The Hustler", then quickly descended into a dive. Chelsea Billiards, elegant room when it first...

Do you really think it would take that much, seriously?

Both Filler and Gorst are in their 20's and in great physical shape. Playing the matches over one week's time shouldn't be too difficult for them. They would have ample time to eat, relax and rest. Also, because they pocket balls so well, I think the games should go rather quickly.

I'd like to see Filler and Gorst match up in an All-Around competition over a period of one week: Day 1: 9-Ball-race to 20 Day 2: 10-Ball-race to 15 Day 3: One-Pocket-race to 10 Day 4: 9-Ball Banks-race to 10 Day 5: 8-Ball-race to 20 Day 6: Full 15-Ball Rotation-Race to 10 Day 7...

Thank you, Stu, for all your contributions to the world of pool.

Yes, I agree. Unfortunately, I was the "area" referee for that match. Boyes called a foul on Shannon. I only saw the incident moments after the fact on video. Boyes was technically correct, so I ruled that Shannon fouled. Boyes got a lot of heat for that. He lost in the finals to Kevin Cheng...

What if DeLuna's opponent was either Efren, Dennis, Busty, Lee Vann, Roland, Gomez, or Alex P? Would Jeffrey have called out any of them on this combo? I seriously doubt it because it would be shameful to a fellow countryman. But, against Mika, DeLuna thought he might get a call in his favor.
