The "swerving" or "curving" stroke is a very valuable one, apart from its usefulness in enabling a player to overcome awkward positions. It gives so much latitude to the player to make a delicate stroke, whereby the object-ball is barely moved, as in those deft touches when the cue-ball and object-ball are close together near a pocket. In such a case--as all players, of course, know--a slight contact of the balls opens up or retains the object-ball in position to resume upon the most simple of losing hazards. But the ordinary amateur player, so far as my experience goes, has no conception that this can be accomplished by any other stroke than a plain-ball. Take, for example, the positions I show on Fig. 57 by the two middle pockets. Here, in the ordinary way, are two nasty delicate screw shots--that Fig. 57.--"Swerving-ball" cannon, using the "spider-rest," and two gentle "swerving-ball" losing hazards, leaving the object-ball in position. is, judged in the light of what they would appear to the average amateur. Played as such, they would require much good handling to ensure a favourable after-position of the object-ball; the more so, as in both cases the latter will have a fairly long distance to travel to work around to a desired location. But, to obviate such a needless expenditure of power, there is the "swerving" or "curving" stroke ready at hand. In both the positions illustrated it is of the greatest utility. The "swerving" of the cue-ball permits of the stroke being made most delicately, with little beyond the needed disturbance of the object-ball. Do not forget, however, to elevate the butt-end of the cue so as to cause the point to...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Billiards Expounded to All Degrees of Amateur Players, Vol. 1: The Elementary Side of Billiard-Playing Expounded may meet with a similar fate. Though, whether or no, I take to myself the idea that up to date it is the most serious and genuine attempt to show the theory and practice of the Billiard art in book form. It was my good fortune to secure as a collaborator Mr. S. A. Mussabini, a well-known writer on the game of Billiards. He has acted as a sort Of Boswell to me; for all that is recorded in Billiards Expounded comes from his pen as a condensation and lucid arrange ment of the precepts and principles I have from time to time put before him. How well he has performed his task the reader can now judge. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The untold story of baseball’s nineteenth-century origins: “a delightful look at a young nation creating a pastime that was love from the first crack of the bat” (Paul Dickson, The Wall Street Journal). You may have heard that Abner Doubleday or Alexander Cartwright invented baseball. Neither did. You may have been told that a club called the Knickerbockers played the first baseball game in 1846. They didn’t. Perhaps you’ve read that baseball’s color line was first crossed by Jackie Robinson in 1947. Nope. Baseball’s true founders don’t have plaques in Cooperstown. They were hundreds of uncredited, ordinary people who played without gloves, facemasks, or performance incentives. Unlike today’s pro athletes, they lived full lives outside of sports. They worked, built businesses, and fought against the South in the Civil War. In this myth-busting history, Thomas W. Gilbert reveals the true beginnings of baseball. Through newspaper accounts, diaries, and other accounts, he explains how it evolved through the mid-nineteenth century into a modern sport of championships, media coverage, and famous stars—all before the first professional league was formed in 1871.
