I’d like to know more about this guy

[L.S. Dennis]

One of the stories I’ve heard about him was the time he was sleeping in one of the railbird seats at some pool hall in New York when someone came over to wake him up and tell him that Nixon had just won the presidency. At this point the story goes that Irish lifted his hat up over his eyes and said: “What do you know they guy can’t run four balls and gets elected president!” At this point he pulls his hat back over his eyes and goes back to sleep.

I can’t vouch for the story personally but it‘s funny nonetheless. I do know that he was considered a tremendous player back In the day.

Johnny Irish Stories Please!

I have read tons of pool books and never ever see any Johnny Irish stories. If anyone knows any or has heard any it would be awesome to hear them. Thanks a lot.

In the mid 60s every pool hall that I visited had a guy that looked like this guy
