The Best in the Country
November 1 1954 WALTER S. TEVIS
Johnny, a young pool hustler from Las Vegas, goes up against Ned Bayles, the best in the country.
Tevis had originally written this story for a writing class at the University of Kentucky. Many old magazines are just dust now, but Esquire is still going, and best of all, they have a strong online presence and have posted many of their great old stories. “The Best in the Country” is one of them, so it’s there waiting for you if you have not already enjoyed it. Or if you haven’t seen it since 1954.
