The Senior Legends is coming soon! July 18th, 19th, and 20th. (Players' meeting..2 pm.) We've heard from many seniors including Buddy Hall and Nick Varner, both who have said they plan to try to attend. Jose Parica says he is a definite. Details are on my website, www.gradymathews.com and more...

Thanks Thank you, everyone for your support and good words. Terry and Manwon, especially, great friends. I'm working on some projects, that if I can pitch and sell them, pool will gain it's rightful place in the sports world. Maybe we can finally get rid of these onerous organizations. Here...

Here's what I know about this. Ed Kelly, James Striegel, Buddy Dennis and Mike Sigel were probably all part of the author's story. But I believe it was mostly about Kelly and I think he received some money for allowing the name to be used. I liked all these guys and feel that they are worthy of...

Meeting Joe It was great getting to meet you, Joe. I look forward to getting together with you for a practice session in the near future. Also, if the IPT uses again, I'd love to work in the booth with you. I've heard that you are a 70 or 80 ball runner so I better not give you too many shots...

website problems My webmaster has been notified and hopefully the problem will be taken care of shortly.

I haven't been able to find anything posted on the IPT site, but I did get voted to do commentary on the match between Mike Sigel and John Schmidt in LA on June 24th. I wish to thank everybody who voted for me. All the support means a lot to me.

Check out www.internationalpooltour.com. They are having a vote to determine who will do commentating at the upcoming match between John Schmidt and Mike Sigel. If you like my work, you might consider giving me your vote. Thanks so much. This would be in the L.A. area. I am very interested in...

I need a good number for reaching John of JB Cases. He asked me to call him but the number is no good and I'm anxious to contact him.

Can't reach you on number given. Please call me at the pool room. 803-957-7665.

Thanks Thanks for pointing out the error of my ways, gentlemen. I looked through the list of exhibitors and found 32 of them who have called me in the past( including the BCA) and sought my council, pro bono, of course. In my dotage I thought that perhaps the efforts of men like me helped our...

trade show I was going to come up for a day. I asked the OB-1 folks for a pass to get in. I left three messages and never did get a reply of any kind. I'm puzzled!! I would like to come up but I just refuse to pay an admission to get in. I even asked Pat Fleming if he was going to have a booth...

Keith Keith offered the two men who were thought to be the best 9 Ball players in the world the 8 ball, when he was 20. They didn't take it. I was there and in many other places where he robbed great players. I mean, how can you beat perfect, which is how he played then. I can't see these...

World Snooker Championship? Does winning the US title carry with it an invite to the World Championships?

tournament I'm looking forward very much to playing in your tournament, Alan. I've found most of the answers to the questions I have. I haven't been able to find the prize money breakdown? Thanks, Grady

Thanks for the prompt response, Alan. I'll be honored to play in the tournament. I have some questions I didn't find on your website: 1. I live in Columbia,SC. Where is the closest 6' X 12" table that is what you use in the tournament? 2. I need the pocket and snooker ball size and what type of...

I'd like to play in this event. I'd need at least 6 mos. notice so I could practice. I wouldn't expect to be seeded but I wouldn't want to have to qualify. If anyone can help me, please do so and thanks in advance. Grady Mathews

Thoughts I'm trying to keep players from being discriminated against like I was. It's bad enough that there are 4,6 and 8 man invitationals that no new, exciting young players ever have a chance of playing in. Now even the 96 man event is an invite. That sucks, period. Now, as for my...

Two things spring to mind that were wrong with the tournament: 1. 96 "Invited" pros. There's that awful, very discriminatory word again. Such a fine affair should be a truly open tournament. 2. Second place should always be at least 50% of what 1st place pays.

Clyde I only played him once, even up bank pool in Berea, if you can believe that. We broke even. He also played Flyboy a three day marathon at my place in Colorado. I don't remember who won. He beat Jew Paul a couple of times, too. And yes, he was a warrior.

Charlie's handiwork Charlie Williams founded the UPA and also Dragon Promotions. How does he not bear some responsibility in this matter? It's bad enough that he's doing team trick shots and invitationals, which I predicted he'd do. He has abused his position from the very first day. I had...
