BILLIARDS. The Game of
POOL. — There are several ways of
playing Pool : namely, with as many
balls as there are players ; or with two
balls only, the players playing in turns,
and playing with the alternate balls ;
playing at the nearest ball ; playing at
the last player ; or the player playing at
whichever ball he chooses. But the
most popular mode is that in which the
player plays at the last player. This is
likewise the fairest way of playing the
game. Rules for playing the game
according to the last method :
1 When the coloured balls are used,
the players must play progressively, as
the colours are placed on the Pool
marking-board, the top colour being
No. 1.
3 Each player has three lives at
starting. No. 1 places his ball on the
winning and losing spot ; No. 3 plays
at No. 1 ; No. 3 at No. 2 ; and so on ;
each person playing at the last ball ;
unless it should be in hand, then the
player plays at the nearest ball.
3 If the striker should lose a life in
any way, the next player plays at the
nearest ball to his own ; but if his (the
player's) ball be in hand, he plays at the
nearest ball to the centre of the baulk
line, whether in or out of baulk.
