The way it was usually played in our old pool hall was that every player drew a set number of pills (usually 2 or 3) depending upon the number of players). Then they played a ring game of 15-ball rotation. If a shooter made a ball with another person's pill number, the person with that pill...

Accurate.

Old school pool halls were fun back in the day. Lots of characters with lots of things going on: dominoes in the front, money pinball machines on the side, snooker tables with people playing golf, people playing 9-ball ring games and Kelly pool, old timers playing one pocket, people telling...

I saw him at Keesler AFB in Biloxi in 1973. He drove a big dark green Cadillac and he had plastic signs held on with magnets on both front doors of his car. The signs said, "Jack White. World's Greatest Trickshot Artist".

I worked in a real "old school" pool hall from the time I was a kid until after I got out of high school. I spent HOURS in the pool hall six days a week for years. I played all of those games, but Kelly pool may have been my least favorite. I gambled at all games and played anybody and everybody.

I didn't even like Kelly Pool when it was popular.

A Filipino rack boy did the same thing when he picked up my Richard Black cue in the Philippines. He tapped a ball with the side of my ivory ferrule and broke it. I had Richard Helmstetter put a new ivory ferrule on it when I visited the ADAM factory in Japan.

Ann was Richard Anthony Mayes. For further discussion this topic would be better suited for the NPR forum.

Alex, Earl, Keith, Ronnie Allen, Mike Sigel...there were more than a few.

I am sure it is the Merry Widow.

"Great play" is when the match is "enjoyable" to watch, not necessarily a match where two robots perform flawlessly in a sterile environment. I prefer the more "raw" play where players with "personality" play "fast and loose" and there is "interaction" between the players besides the handshake...

Unless you buy a cue that costs $5000, or more, Richard isn't even touching it. Someone else builds it for him.

That match was a shitshow and brutal to watch. There is no way in hell that guy plays better than Oscar, but Oscar let the "conditions" dictate the outcome of the match. If he can't fade this guy, there is no way people on here should be screaming that he should play in the Mosconi Cup.

Who won and what were the scores of the sets?

Because I said so.:)

As they should be. :)

This is becoming a snoozefest. I had rather watch some fast and loose bangers.

Oscar is playing tentative. He needs to loosen up.

FWIW, I wouldn't let Willie Mosconi play with my cue. I have seen him slap balls around with the sides of his shafts on his own custom cues, so you know damn well he would do the same with somebody else's cue.
