Saddens me to wake up to this very bad news. Even though we knew it was time it's hard to process for me. We had some great/funny times together, Danny, Freddy and I. R.I.P. Pal!

The 'Old' 3C tables were Not heated! Brunswick tables from the 1900's - 1988. In the USA it's Only since around the late 80's

I'm RH/LE but have the cue positioned between Both eyes! I've Always aimed at my target with Both eyes.

I was there at Capital Billiards and Colfax Billiards in 70,73.

Sailor Barge was Mickey's (Mickey Carpinello) Mentor, Mickey in the 60's may have been the 'Best Unknown' player around the country! When He got off the drugs Very tough to beat! If you have Freddy the Beard's book, "The Encyclopedia of Pool Hustlers" He's in it.

That's what 'Pro' players do in 3C! We 'See all the angles'! Back on topic! Anyone else have any stories about Don 'Waterdog' Edwards?

And the results of those matches? Top flat-out speed for Jarvis playing 3C is around 0.700! BTW, I would give Jarvis 10-12 on 25. One other thing to mention, a player playing a weaker player in 3C that is 'Normally' a 0.800-0.900 player could average 1.3 'Some games' against 0.400-0.600 players!

What about the Top player, 'Portchester Mickey' he suffered the same aliment as Waterdog! I believe Mickey may have been some form of Mentor to Donny.

Top 3C players can't hide/don't hide from testing their skills. Especially in that time frame and location of that room, only being 100 miles away from the Meca of 3C in the Midwest, Chris's Billiards. The guy I mentioned Dennis D. came/played in many events at Chris's and most definitely...

I highly doubt it! I would have been looking for a player like that, meaning the entire room would be looking to bet on him.

I was there playing 3C, Dennis Douberteen played out of that room. Not sure if I played him. In the 60's He was a Chicago Tour Bus driver and would come to Bensingers.

Across from Loyola on Sheridan rd. in Rogers Park?

I was one of the Top 3c players in the USA for over 45 years, and the same time being a 2-handicap playing Golf!

Classic New England 'Straight Pool style' stroke! Short effective, nothing fancy for the 70's cue games. Not down low on the cue like the present-day players, a between 3C height/Pool level over the cue. His 9-ball break wasn't Big, but could definitely get out if He made one.

I knew the 'Doggie' for over 30 years, He was Chicago's Pool scene ' Sad Sack'! A Great player from the New England area, born with one slight flaw, Addicted to Heroin! I always felt bad for Doggie, helped him out more times than I could count! He was essentially a decent/honorable Guy...

I wish I could! Len (Bugs) was a Very Dear friend for over 50 years! One of the Most 'Naturally Talented' Pool players ever!

Playing 'Full Rack Banks' about 1 dozen players from the 60's-70's on the Southside of Chicago! Starting with 'Bugs'!

This is a New, (no cue has ever been inserted into case), Jack Justice 2x4 Prolite case. In Tan and Dark Chocolate leather/Outer cover included. Thinking about selling it.

Thin blue nylon material. I and a partner of mine have over 115 years combined in the Cue games! We have Never seen an Adam 'Smooth black leather or the Dark Brown leather' case! Only in the 'Tan Vinyl'. Also, this case has Never had the 'Adam logo' on it. Which is always distinct on the Tan...

Can U show Pics of Your Exact same case?
