In the South they called it Crazy Kelly, each player would draw 2 pills, the first one to have both pills pocketed won, no matter who made the balls. The 16 was a free ball, if you got the 16 you only had to make the other ball. You would start shooting at the 1, 8, or 15. Once 1 of those were pocketed, you could shoot the one next to it. if you made the 1, then the 2 was alive, if you made the 8, you could shoot the 7 or nine were good balls. We had so many crooks in our poolroom, we would have to count the pills in the jug after every game, people would keep the good ones and not put them back in the jug.
