Ive alwas read that Willile Mosconi has the High run. I also read that a man name Michael enfuma? I think that is his last name, Had a run of 600 plus, But it was not see by the B.C.A. Does anyone have any information about this?
 
eufemia's run was witnessed by a room full of onlookers, i understand. mosconi's was on a 4x8.
 
Mosconi's high run was during an exhibition, I believe.
Not in a match. I wonder if that really should have counted.

But how can you have a high run in a 150 point match? Can't exactly keep on going in a formal championship tournament. As to table size, Mosconi had some big runs on the full size championship tables, not the little 9' ones that came later.:p

Fast replies, in world championships, if the game was 125 and when you ran 125 you had to stop, same when it went to 150, big mistake, they should have let the guy keep going if he choose too just for the hell of it and for crowd appeal.
All the high runs were then exhibitions or local challenge matches. Mosconi for decades put on an exhibition damn near every day where he would run a century, play 3 local nobodies and go for a high run. It does not surprise me that eventually he got hot on a 4x8 with bucket 5 l/2 " POCKETS and ran 526. If he had not blown his brain up in 57, he would have eventually ran 7 or 8 hundred for sure, maybe a thousand. He was the greatest ball runner I ever saw.
Eufemia on a regulation 9' table with pro pockets ran 625, the real record and the BCA and Brunswick screwed him out of it and buried the guy. Long story, don't really want to explain it to you.
Michael could not hold up in public or under the lights, he fell apart in real competition. Playing casually with no heat on him, there was no greater player ever, including Mosconi.

Yes there was a giant conspiracy, I have all the evidence of that in my files. I have been blowing the lid on this for years to show its true, that they did this to him, they did the same thing to me in 97. Both of us got buried, we both threatened the establishment.

The two people who got hosed the greatest and robbed the most in the 20th centrury were Joe Hood and Micheal Eufemia, most of you do not have a clue who either one is. Both should be in the hall of fame. :D:cool: :rolleyes: :mad:

ervolino has mentioned this very thing. it wasn't a "folding while gambling thing",,,,,eufemia gambled fine as i recall ervolino saying. it was folding in the heat of competition.

also,,,,johnny mentioned that all the pros lined the seats to watch eufemia run 300's regularly in practiice.

how would you describe eufemia's style of play and his 14.1 strategy.

That's right, I remember one pro tell me he was scheduled to play him the next day and went into the practice room to see what he had. When the guy got on 300, he went walking out of the room and ran into Irving Crane who stopped him saying Gill, you look white as a Ghost, what's wrong, he said I just saw God himself play pool Irving laughed and said, oh yes, you have been back watching Michael. Just go out and play your game and you will win with no problem and he said that was the way it did go down. You can research old scores and see matches were it was Mosconi 150 Eufemia 4, Crane 150 Eufemia 2. Michael did put in a fine showing and a win at the Jansco event in Vegas at the end of that tourney's run in the early 70's.
Ray Martin used to play in the same room with him for years in Brooklyn. Ray told me he would begin a run, he would go out to dinner, finish, come back to the pool hall and Eufemia would be still on the run. Go to the front of Ray Martins book, he also says this is true, this is from a 3 time world champion and hall of famer, do not believe me, but do believe Martin, he was there, he did see it up close. I have the proof of the run, 50 signed witnesses, there is no question in my mind, this run happened. It happened, you don't want to know why they buried it and him, dont ask. :D

It's too political, I am trying to mend fences with some of these people, If you want to know, call me on the phone. Talk to me at a show If I put that out, they will sick the hounds loose on me again. Right now its peaceful, lets leave it that way. Here is another shocker for you, Babe Cranfield also ran 600. How many of you ever heard of him, he was 10 times the star Eufemia was. .:D
