Suicide among players is rare, but suicidal impulses are not. A Broadway figure known as Tony the Weasel has the disconcerting habit, when betrayed by the cue, of running full tilt down the aisle and diving headfirst against the wall. Once he made the mistake of doing this with a thin composition-board wall and landed, like a spent shell, halfway through: allegedly it took the fire department to extract him. Another player goes to the men's room, upbraids himself in the mirror and then knocks himself out.

Rage, grief and despair haunt the pool halls, and, of course, especially the tournaments. Lauri once hurled a whole case of balls through a wooden partition in Scranton. Irving Crane, when he lost the championship in 1942, broke down and cried inconsolably. The late Andrew Ponzi, when he lost, often made speeches to the audience protesting against the injustice of it all. Seeded players have thrown their cues into the audience like javelins, ground the chalk underfoot, or broken their cues across the table. Even Mosconi has been known to pound his cue butt on the floor in exasperation, and at least once to have splintered it against a table leg. "Pool players," a Billiard Congress official has commented, "are quite sane on any given day in June, but get them to a table and they go nuts."


So , this Larry Nevel guy , he's bad ?
