Show tlilraa;o'a Feminine Milliard Expert. The largest number of women players at any one place may now be found at the aristocratic Standard club on the south side. The young women here do not hesitate to play an even game with the men, and hold their own, too. The Misses Goodman are , recognized s the best two players on the south side. On the north side Miss Cool ranks nbove all other female players. She can play too strong a game for most amateurs, ama-teurs, making runs of fifty and sixty with three balls. Two years ago such a feat was considered next to impossible for any womun. Hampered by her skirts and corsets, there were any nnm- ber of shots that she could not make. These have been overcome, however, by learning to handle the cue with the left hand. Nothing now seems to stand in tho way of a woman learning to play the game as well as the average man. Potter Palmer has a table of unique design which is a combination cabinet. The scheme was devised by Mrs. Palmer, who, with many of her north side friends, delights in the game. Tho table was built after an original design which sho fnminhed the factory. George M. Pullman is the possessor of another handsome hand-some table, and the Misses Pullman are credited with being able to play a fair amateur game with four balls. Charles Schwartz has a table that cost nearly 1,000, and Mrs. H. H. Porter personally looks after both a billiard and a pool table ib her elegant home. Chicago News. j |
