By the way . . who is the Mosconi Cup named after?
"Willie missed the 227th ball which was just a little off angle to the side pocket, the ball hit the outside point and bounced back toward Willie.
This shot was in the direction of the spectators seated in bleachers that had been placed there especially for Willie's exhibition. There was a brief moment of silence, then the crowd began to stand and cheer, but before most of the spectators had a chance to stand...
Willie, looking like he was fit to be tied, pointed his cue at a young boy in the stands and said something to this effect - If you can't make that little brat sit still, you ought to leave him at home. Immediately the crowd looked at the little boy, who by now had tears in his eyes, then they began to boo and jeer Willie, the owner of University Bowl tried in vain to appease the crowd, but they all left, including myself, disappointed, some were even taunting Willie, calling him names..."

"Arnie Satin also had the honor of calling out all those players names who had finished in the money, having them come forth and present them with their prise money envelope. After completing that. He asked if Willie Mosconi and Joe Balsis would come up together, well the audience, which consisted of some of the biggest names in Hollywood, went wild displaying their appreciation of the quality of pool they had just witnessed. Willie was on Arnie's right Balsis on Arnie's left...
Arnie began by saying- "And now to Willie Mosconi who played brilliantly . ." - that's all he got out, Willie grabbed the 2nd place envelope with his left hand and hit Arnie with a right sucker punch uppercut, knocking him out cold! Willie - what a scene, what a temper..."
