I thought that 2 hour-ish time was the portion after the exhibition match ended and he was already at 150 or 200.

No, according to his autobiography: "I was playing a two-hundred-point match against an amateur by the name of Earl Bruney in the East High Billiard Club. He made three balls off the break, them I ran two hundred and just kept going. The run took two hours and ten minutes, which means that over that span I averaged four balls a minute."
If you figure in time to collect the balls and rack them almost 40 times he might have been closer to five balls a minute.
