Wimpy vs. Balsis, any details?

[kkdanamatt]

Here's a copy of the admission ticket for the 1967 $2500 challenge match between Luther Lassiter and Joe Balsis.
The present value of $2500 is over $18,000 in the year 2016.
They played 10 games of Straight Pool over a five day period.
Each game was 150 points.
The cost of admission was $2.

Does anyone on AZB have information about this match?
Better yet, is there anyone on AZB who was there, back in 1967?

Here's a story about the fate of the original building. Sad.
