Great photos. Thanks for sharing
Some of these actually show a decent number of spectators.

Wow - 8 ball BCA championship appears to have been using casino balls (like red and yellow English pool balls). Call pocket or slops allowed? Anyone know?

I saw a very rare photo on Bill's pics of the Dallas Pool scene, 1980's and beyond. The first picture in the second row has a guy in a suit who is down good on the cue ball with a solid bridge. It sure looks like the famous hustler Harry "The Horse" McConnell, a man who was rarely photographed. He was a little better than shortstop speed.

Jr. Norris is looking over his shoulder, probably betting on him.

Was he Cooney's speed?
