Seen it
I seen Worst bark at Lassiter to play some $200 a game 9 ball at Johnston City. The concensus was that Wimpy, who was the standing world champion, didnt want to risk his title, and perhaps risk his exhibiton tour money. Weanie Beanie had offered to stake Wimpy for 5k, but said Wimpy was happy getting his $150 a day for an exhibition. It wasnt so much that Wimpy was scared, but more like that he knew Worst was capable of beating anyone at any time. Especially since he knew Worst had Barbequed his road partner, Don Willis.
CornBread asked Eddie Taylor, when he was going to play Worst some Onepocket and shut that loudmouthed Dutchman up. Taylor responded, "I'm gonna git to him, Red, I'm gonna git to him." But he never did.

Well Beard, you certainly make a compelling case! In fact, this is "Defense Attorny" quality material!
I had heard about Luther ducking (allegedly) Harold in 9 ball but I didn't want to put that out there. Lassiter is my number 1 all time favorite player, so I didn't want to besmirch his reputation by posting what we just did.
What you and Jay wrote means a lot to me cause you guys SEEN him play, I only read about him.
Thanks Freddy!
