  • For Those Interested in Pool…
    For Those Interested In Pool… Eight-ball is the most well-known pocket billiards game in the world. However, it also has the most varying set of rules of any game. Compared to football, tennis, and even golf, cue sports as a whole is not recognized as a popular sport in the U.S. The lack of media coverage results in a loose word-of-mouth education of the game that varies from region to region. Many may not know that there does exist a World Standardized set of rules for eight-ball, as well as many other pool games. Governed by the World Pool-Billiard Association (www.wpa-pool.com), the common core, the General Rules of Play, is used in tournaments, leagues, and professional competitions throughout the world. Some important contradictions to bar-room rules are listed below • STANDARD CALL SHOT (1.6) The intended ball and pocket must be indicated (if not obvious) for each shot. Details of the shot, such as cushions struck or other balls contacted or pocketed are irrelevant. Only one ball may be called on each shot. Turn passes to the opponent on failure to pocket the intended ball. • BALL IN HAND (1.5) The shooter may place the cue ball anywhere on the table (not limited to behind the head string). • ALL FOULS RESULT IN BALL IN HAND (3.9) If the shooter commits a foul, play passes to his opponent with ball in hand. Scratches are fouls. • FOUL: WRONG BALL FIRST (6.2) It is a foul for the cue ball to first contact any other ball except the shooter’s object ball(s).

It features an interview and historical look of founder Paul Lucchesi Sr. by columnist Chip Ainsworth. The original full-sized newspaper framed article is on display for viewing at Eastern Billiards. The Life and Times of Paul Lucchesi, Sports Article February 8, 1984 • Transcribed by www.EasternBilliards.com The Life and Times of Paul Lucchesi Sports Article by Chip Ainsworth Valley Advocate, February 8, 1984 Paul Lucchesi sits in the office corner of his pool hall. "One day," says Lucchesi, "the pool Holyoke pool hall and reaches for another hall burned down. I went over and came back Kent. He is diabetic, and at age 70 the nerve with a bucket of balls." endings in his fingers have become frayed. The outside air leaves a chilly residue, so he wears a floppy sweater and keeps a wool hat pulled over his brow. As he sucks in a pull of smoke and stares into space through wire-rimmed glasses, he says in a deep, raspy voice, "Geometric triangulation of the diamond system is very important in pool." With that, Paul Lucchesi quickly dispels any impression that he is simply a two-bit hustler who happens to own his own pool room. Indeed, not only does he own the Ivory Billiards on Chestnut St., he also owns a slate mine in Italy, and a warehouse in Boston.

  • The History of the WPBA
    The History of the WPBA The WPBA began in the seventies, a time that saw feminism at its peak. Women’s billiards was no exception. This was the decade for women players to stand up, shout out, and be recognized. Only, there weren’t many to be heard. Jean Balukas was undisputedly the hottest woman player on the table. She captured her first U.S. Open win in 1972 at the ripe old age of twelve, and went on to win four consecutive U.S. Open titles. In that same year -- at the same event -- another young East Coast upstart arrived on the scene. Six-year-old Loree Jon Ogonowski (Jones) had to stand on a box to reach the table but was already a wizard with a cue, performing trick shots for fans. Palmer Byrd, another top-flight player, became the first real outspoken missionary for women’s billiards. She signed an exhibition deal with Brunswick Corporation as the firm’s first female player rep and took full advantage of her position. She spoke out against unfairness and inequality between women’s purses and men’s, and she challenged the fact that women’s matches were scheduled in the wee hours of the morning. In 1976, several women players, including Palmer, Gloria Walker, Vicki Frechen (Paski), and Madelyn Whitlow, along with National Billiard News editor Larry Miller, met at Mitch Housey’s restaurant/lounge in Livonia, Michigan, on Memorial Day weekend. That meeting gave birth to the Women’s Professional Billiard Alliance. Their efforts, spearheaded by Byrd and Whitlow, got the ball rolling, and the Alliance began taking charter members.
