London, Prop. t 1814-16-18 Harney Street POCKET BILLIARDS America’s National Winter Pastime IN sizing up (.he different games of billiards, the pocket billiard game must not be forgotten. The first great billiardists like John Deery, Joe and Cyrillo Dion, John McDevitt and others played it in the early days, but it was an entirely different game to the pocket billiards of today. The real beginning of the present style of pocket billiards, which was, of i course, improved and made better with the. years, should perhaps be elated fronj April 18, 1878, when the first National Tournament at pocket billiards was played in the Union Square rooms in New York, the play continuing from April 8 to 20. Among the*contestants were all the recognized first-class American caromers of that period, with the excep tion of Albert Gamier, Maurice Daly and Jacob Schaefer. Phyeically Fit—Are You? Keeping physically fit is a man’s duty, first to his country end to himself. B„very time you miss a chance to put yourself in first-class condition, you’ve made another creditor. Even the horse must be exercised to keep alert. People with indigestion and gTouchy dispositions are great reasons ^hg we should exercise. Instead of dodging this and that in your eating, put the apparatus in condition by exercise. Nothing is ever gained physically watching others train. Getting a big pouch is pleasant—getting rid of it a job. In training—like life—it’s regularity that counts. To exercise rightly means to play. Bowling is the one game or sport where you can play and exercise any old time and regardless ol the weather. Recreation That means blood tissue. Over 4,000,000 men and women keep physically fit by playing Billiards and Bowling Are You Physically Fit?
