Maybe he wanted something "round" to use.
If he brought his own chalk, that's a different story.
He better not have been using that "Magic Chalk".

Video wasn't routinely available back then.
So they did the next best thing and got witnesses to sign an affidavit... so it happened.

No one checked to see if the slate had been shaved down, either... It could have been. You "don't" actually know
The run was in a regular pool room so there was no shaving of a slate just for Mosconi's appearance.

Lots of "if's", 'ands" and "buts" we could dance around, but I'm just funnin'....
Still...it is comical watching you all go after John about this
It's also pretty funny to see all the silly arguments attacking Mosconi's run, which has stood and been recognized for years.
Lou Figueroa
no video, lol
Application of arbitrary requirements.
All should be looked at through the same glass.
And certainly quite amusing to see everyone suggesting the slate on Johns table had been altered, based on what evidence? I'm not as hot on the trail as you, Danny and WorldPro, but I don't recall seeing anywhere that gives a reason for this supposition, beyond y'alls dislike for John and suspicion that its been manipulated. And the heated table part....did they say it was heated? Did anyone who has seen the video or was there say it was heated?
See post #527 above.
Ahhh, so in a past attempt, the table was heated. No information regarding that on this run. Nonetheless, it gives some the rationale for suspicion.
Thanks
Still don't know that it was used....no more than whether the slate was altered. Heh heh
It's so telling and comical that some see nothing but pure straight pool when Mosconi can make 150 to finish off an exhibition match to 200 and then just decide to keep shooting but JS is a cad because he was specifically attempting to make a high run when he woke up that day.
There is zero evidence of shaved slate, fouls, mid-run ball polishing, pockets bigger than the great Mosconi used or any other shenanigans....just a couple of bitter ex players who don't like John.
Is it a rules violation to call someone who claims to have me blocked a bad name? Seems like it would be the proverbial victimless crime.

What’s wrong with heating the slate.?...the modern runs at 3-cushion and snooker are
being done heated slates....does that mean some people discount Ronnie’s 147?
And they can get a ball cleaned any time by asking a ref...
Lololol. C'mon, I can't give you rep at the moment!
I wonder how John Schmidt has managed to win the last 4 tournaments he has entered going undefeated in I believe 33 consecutive matches?
He has been on a pretty hot streak. He is playing so well I think he could set a new record for straight pool if he decided to. He is just not missing anything.

Good grief.
Just coz you put words together doesn't make them true.
That actually applies to all your nonsensical posts and outright lies.
The list of players John has beat is long. At all games.
And before you edit...your first line is evidence your position is personal.
Given that position, you wouldn't prop up a man who once played well if he was a felon, would you?
Name any of'em, shouldn't be too hard to name a few in those last 4 t's.
John's record is readily available.
Those who need proof of his accomplishments are free to search.

Well those 2 have just might know what they are looking at by the way balls are dropping by they way racks are spreading and so on ,
The suspicion of the inquiry minds want to know has gained traction because the lack of the video , only seen by and guarded by the Knights Templar of the sacred 626 video ,
Until that's seen and it's a pretty reasonable thought , that there will be plenty of people who find things suspect and that list grows day by day

Well...to follow that line of thinking..."those two" haven't watched the video so they have no way of knowing how the balls were dropping. Or how the racks were spreading, or so on.
So it's really just speculation. Without evidence.
