INVADED BY WOMEN

MAN-MUCH HANDICAPPED
Silliarda Command d Attention
'Women of Woblllty Soring'
Former Days In France.
of
, Smashing throug-h . the tarriers of
, man-made convention, women are in
vadinif th high class billiard 'rooms
, In the big cities : and are devoting
"many -of their leisure hours to the
" f mastery of the games of iocket and
' three-ball ! billiards.
. ' Woman, by nature, is a natural bil
liard player, : and in the days before
the--French revolution, women ranked
: among the greatest billiard players in
' the world. Women of the French no
bility and aristocracy played billiards
" and played the game wonderfully
well. And in those days proficiency
in the Kama of billiards was as much
of a social asset for women as is
dancing today.
Billiards lost in favor in France
after the revolution. The noble women
who formerly played It were dead and
the other! women shunned the game
' because they thought tt an evil one
, -because it had befin played by the
e women in1 the gay frivolous court of
I' Louis XVI.
", ' ; Man' Qame X&ter.
In; the past 60 years the game of
i billiards has been almost exclusively
v r man's game. Men have made it bo
by throwing a barrier around it and
permitting only those of tltfeir own sex
to enter, Billiarda has been held up
' as a" game for men only, yet, there
. i is no game that is more suited for
women and woman's peculiar tempera
ment. 'It is a gentle game- one that does
not call for any show of strength or
endurance. But it does call for a
; dellcacy of touch, a keen eye ami a
j light muscular development the very
, things in; which woman, by nature,
is man's superior. ,
Man really, Is naturally handicapped
. in game of billiards. lie is strong.
If has powerful muscles, the tend
i,.ency of which is to strike with full
' power. Man must subdue that smasli
r Ing, crushing impulse because smasli
. inir means failure 99 times out of 190.
Ivi? ' Woman,! on the other hand, has rfo
T& jpucli impulse to conquer. Hers is a
lelicate, -sensitive touch one that is
j"pdeal for the game of billiards, where
J lightness of touch and delicacy of
Stroke la !an absolute necessity at all
t 'times) ' !
I Champlonanip Games Planned,
Now that women have gone in .for
vibilliarda there is , a possibility that
within the next four or. five years we
;:-will -be treated to championship htl
f'liard matches between men atid worn
a Vn. It wouldn't be surprising to
eo a woman as the world's billiard
champion during the next five years,
J provided of course, that sorne women
will go Into the game with their whole
I heart and soul, as have the men who
t have risen to the crest of the billiard
I. world. Billiards is i a game whore
. perf edtiou comes only through con
' stant practice.
: . .The .invasion of publlo btHiard
; rooms bf. the high clasB sort hy wom
en WHS distasteful to the prop.rielors
: 'at first, but they have changed their
views. . Tine presence of women In the
; poolrooms has been a silent influ
; :ence "for better conduct among the
' men, patrons and has caused almost
? a total absence of cuss words by men
f over 4f allure to inake shots while
; women are present. . .
. ,. In some of the New Tot cafes the
- proprietors ha,veJ taken, cognizance of
the new feminine demand for a game
of billiards.' These fellows- have
j chopped ,off rart of their dance -floor
' space arid made that portion into a
t billiard room for women. And the
tables are always busy, many women
t- preferring billiards to the fox trot.
