Smoking vs smoke free My wife and I own two pool halls in a small city; one is by the high school and one is by the ocean. Our policy is no smoking around the tables but they can smoke when they are off the cement. This has worked out well for us and I'm a smoker. My 2 cents worth.

Two of the greatest pocket billiard players to ever play in America were Harold Worst and John "Rags" Fitzpatrick. Sadly they both died young. My questions are did they ever play? If they did play who won? If they did not ever play, in your opinion, if they would have played, who would have...

Remembering Grady Mathews I ask Grady Mathews to be my friend on Facebook which he did. Then I ask him if he ever played Harry Sexton, aka Little Harry or to his friends Poochie. I watched him play Cornbread Red at least 8 times in Flint Michigan. Grady did play him and he beat him. So did...
