    I need a name....???

    His name was Chuckie Warman and he was just as tough as you heard. He was a certified bar wrecker but he was not a good pool player. He spent time around pool players but I stayed the hell away from him. Only a dunce would gamble with him. He did have that bar on Clark and it was a big...

    I need a name....???

    I spent months on the road with Three Finger Ronnie Sypher. I also spent many months, and winters in the Miscue Lounge. Ronnie played about as good as anybody with the big cue ball on the bar table -- as evidenced by him beating many of the top Mexican bar players in LA in 1970 when he, Sugar...

    I need a name....???

    He played much better 1pkt than Peter Rabbit- especially on a 5 x 10. Circa 1965. I was around both of them in Fla for months. He lived for awhile with Sugar Shack Johnny and I for a month. His name was not Joe Dimaggio. His first name was Vince. Believe me he was at that time very well...

    I need a name....???

    I am fairly far along on my new book, The Encyclopedia of Pool Hustlers, and I need the real name of an old timer. I hustled with him in the 60s in Fla but I never knew his real name. He was called Joe Dimaggio (nickname) and he was from Allingers in Philly. His first name was Vince, that I...

    You apparently bought it used because the retail is $29.95 plus shipping. Fortunately for me, most people who buy it, keep it, so there aren't that many resold. Beard

    Sandy Laube wants to know about her father, Eddie

    I knew Sandy's dad for 30 yrs. George Fels summed Eddie up pretty much. Eddie did do a marvelous turnaround. The "bad" Eddie might have had a lot to do with his drinking days because his act cleaned up considerably once he gave up drinking -- and he was a heavy drinker. I always got along...

    Rambow the Grand Father

    I have to say it. I have seen many cues that Rambow autographed personally with the name, "Rambow" on them. Rambow made at least 5 or 6 cues for me. They didnt look anything like the fancy calligraphy that you are ascribing to him. His real signature was pretty plain. The cues that Charley...
