Where's the sport in that? And besides, I live in California and "stops moving" is not an option.
Harold Worst vs Boston Shorty

Lordy! What was Shorty's problem? Or was there a spot?
stroke
Cool picture.
I noticed in both this picture and in watching Ralph Greenleaf, they both have a very different form. Not only do they not get down as low on the ball which is well known, their back arm is way different. Their elbows seem to be much lower and they are choked way up on the cue. When watching Greenleaf it seemed like he was lifting the cue stick and tossing it underhanded.
I'm just noticing this now, if anyone knows more about this I'm interested. It's amazing to me that worked so well.

He couldn't win! NO spot, EVEN! Artie was just a better player than Shorty! Especially on home court!
Bugs and Artie, all thy're lives played 9/8, Bugs giving. The ONLY reason Artie didn't play Bugs even was, He didn't want to have to give all the black players on the South & West side the BIG spots Bugs did! I don't believe Bugs ever came out winner's playing Artie!

Hold on is this edited video? Looks like Jay Halfert to me playing. No just kidding thanks for the video.
If anyone wants to see shorty playing some more, there is a senior tour video form AccuStats with him, maybe a few. This is from Highpockets https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6PHeJY7lQs
These senior tour videos are good, you can catch the old time greats before they got too old, although likely years past their prime.
