Earl's record broken!

You're right but I believe that it was 14 racks n an after tournament match-up. I read about that in a magazine back in the early 90s. Johnny runs a whole set then Django beat him in the next two. Somebody purchased that table that they were playing on and had them both sign it. Johnny signed "Johnny Archer 14 racks run-out" and Django signed "Francisco Django Bustamante-Winner"!

Not only that but after Johnny ran the 14, Busta asked him if he wanted to double the bet!!

A previous post of mine relates a story having this kind of theme:

Irving Crane, for reasons unknown, liked to talk about his fairly well-known nine ball match against Johnny Irish, which surely took place in the 1950's. Race to 6 for 1,000. Irish wins the toss, and breaks and runs six. Irish wins another coin toss, and runs six and out again. Crane, without having played a single shot, unscrewed, paid 2,000, and left, a victim of a 12-pack.

In my view, the unfinished Johnny Irish 12-pack deserves mention anytime great nineball accomplishments are considered.
