Billards a Great Game
F. S Milnes, president of the In
door Game Association, has this to
say about billards and billard balls:
As to our attitude on billard, we
have expressed ourselves so often
that repetition stems almost unnec
essary. Our ideal is a "Recreation
Center” under municipal or school
or church auspices, which shall in
clude billards, for the reason that
billards possesses certain points of
intrinsic merit not found in any
substitute yet known to us. This
explains its irresistible appeal to
the game instinct of youth. It in
volves no luck, no chauce. It is
pure science, pure game. I have
made a special study of the billard
hall subject, and I insist that it is
not tbe impurities ot disreputable
places that attract our young men.
It is tlietr God-given instinct for
play and the masculine love of con
quest That instinct cannot and
will not be crushed by Mothers’
"don’ts” or fanatical legislation,
but it may be used as a developing
factor in the shaping of chaiacter.
I have newspaper clippings by the
score showing how the prohibition
of this game to the young men has
resulted only in driving him to play
“ Poker” and other worse pastimes.
Do not permit the deyil to cheat us
out of this beautiful game.
