1931 THREE CUSHION CHAMPION
MASTER AT VISUALIZING SHOT ANGLES
CHICAGO VP) Art Thurnblad's
most difficult billiard shot Is bis
favorite one.
And that shot, incidentally, Is
one big reason why he was the de
fending champion among the dozen
experts in the annual 25.000
world's championship three-cushion
tournament here.
Ability of the lean Chlcagoan to
negotiate this favorite but tricky
set-up served him well a year ago
at a critical" point in his cham
pionship match against Allen Hall.
Tho cue boll was near the end of
tho table, a quarter of an Inch from
tho first boll, with the second ball
behind the cue ball and against the
roll.
Thurnblad cued the cue ball high.
After kissing the first ball, It spun
with little apparent speed horizon
tally to the corner, ,
After striking the rail it re
bounded around the corner, gaining
speed, and easily had enough roll
left to make the circuit of the table
and contact with the second ball.
Art had to work a long time to
master that situation, but now it's
his special "meat." ....
An outsider in the pre-tourna-ment
dope last year " Thurnblad
came through with the extraordi
nary record of 340 out of a possible
350 points winning six of Beven
games. - '
Experts call Thurnblad one of the
most sclentlflo professionals In this
sclentlflo gome. - '-'
They credit his ability to the fact
that he has made the utmost use
of a geometrically-trained mind, us
ing his experience with angles gained
in drafting, a profession he followed
before becoming a cue pro, in plan
ning three-oushion combinations.
A master of the "diamond sys
tem," he Is noted particularly for
the rapidity with which he lines
up, decides upon and executes his
shots.
It is Thurnblad's Idea that pro
ficiency In billiards Id strictly a
matter of precision,
"There is no maglo in a billiard
player's touch," he says, "nor Is
there such a thing as a 'bom' bil
liard player.
"The balls go where you shoot
them if you shoot them right."

SHANGHAI, Jan. 28 VP) . Eugene
Chen, who recently resigned as Chi
nese foreign minister, said Wednes
day the "ultimate aim of Japan's
policy toward China Is mastery of the
Pacific ocean and that means war
with the United States."
First, he said, Japan looked to un
conditional annexation of Manchuria,
from which she can dominate the
entire Asiatic mainland and then to
the conquest of Australia.
"To accomplish these things." sold
he, "Japan knows she Is destined to
fight the United States. As a prepara
tion for this inevitable struggle, the
occupation of Manchuria is in an
effort to obtain raw materials as the
sinews of war. -
"Her present pressure against
Shanghai and the Yangtze valley,
which contemplates the occupation
not only of Shanghai but also of
Nanking Is sufficient to paralyze the
Chinese government and to force its
acceptance of Japan's formal annexa
tion of Manchuria.
"The medloval minded military
shogunate in the form of a general
staff, which Is tho real government
of Japan, now see Japan dominating
all Asia, Including Australia.
11. 8. Only Obstacle
"Between her and this goal stands
tho United States. Thoroforo she
plans for war. Whllo other nations
disarm she arms. Manchuria is but
a preparatory step for hor greatest
conflict in which she hopes to ban
ish forever the Influence of western
nations In the Pacific ocean."
Dr. Chen sold he had been study
ing Manchuria and Japanese policies
regarding It for twenty years, adding
that "my statements may seem fan
tastic to people thousands of miles
away, but the coming generation will
live to see that I speak the truth."
