In 1960, Glenn "The Eufaula Kid" Womack participated in a televised match on KTTV, the independent station owned by the Los Angeles Times. KTTV was best known for broadcasting Dodgers away games after the team's move from Brooklyn in 1958. Eufaula's TV appearance happened before the Johnston...

Looking for extra copies of the September 2023 issue of Billiards Digest with David Alcaide on the cover.

R. A. Dyer just posted an excerpt about Emmett Blankenship from my book, The Oklahoma Roots of One Pocket. Not much has ever been published about Blankenship, but he won a world championship on his first and only attempt in 1916 and many pros who knew his game ranked him above Greenleaf. You...

Corners was a predecessor of modern One Pocket. Chris Owen wrote an article on "The Game of Corners" that gives an in-depth history of the game. It's not exactly the same as One Pocket--the balls are racked at the foot of the table at the opposite end of the two corner pockets. This makes it...

I'm looking for any information about an old time hustler whose nickname was "Magnolia Red." Real name: J. Frank or J. F. Richardson. Probably a road player based out of Texas around 1939. He's mentioned in this list of hustler nicknames but I haven't found anything else about him online...

Like New Complete 2-Book Set of One Pocket Books by Eddie Robin with Signatures

Willie Mosconi: The Basement Tapes Looks like this has been shared here before, but it's been a few years. I just found the video on YouTube and thought others would like to see it, too, especially in light of John Schmidt's 626. Credit goes to AZBilliards user dmgwalsh who was responsible...

How do you mark the scoresheet when someone concedes the game ball? Here’s a real world example of what I’m talking about ... Source:http://www.sfbilliards.com/accustats/V1_N06.pdf Marking zero for balls pocketed and then circling for the win seems to penalize the incoming player through no...
