Greenleaf yes, Mosconi no

[hunger strike]

There is a well-known photo of Greenleaf and a kid who is shooting. Many, including a current ebay seller, describe the boy shown as Mosconi. The photo originally appeared in Billiards Magazine - I used to own the issue. The caption gave the kid's name as Larmer Neil. I would show the ebay link, but the current rules on posting links may prohibit this.

And your point would be….that someone used an alias? Describing someone to be someone else or look like someone else is very different from actually being that person described. I don’t think anyone in their right mind would think that Willie Mosconi was ever known by a different name because his family roots date back to the early 1900’s in South Philly.

Screenshot it.

Is there a rule against such a link?

Wait a minute….if I’m not mistaken, could that be Christian Neil, Lamar Neil’s twin brother, in this photo with Greenleaf?

It might be Bufford Neil -- it's not widely known but they were triplets separated at birth.
