Diggle and “snooker”
Nottingham Evening Post, Saturday 30 November 1907
Diggle in a game of “snooker” the other day made a really daring and successful attempt to plant a red in by the medium of the black. But the “ebony” elected, after hanging doubtfully on the brink of the pocket, to also go in. To complete the disaster the cue-ball collided with the pink, and knocked that ball into a middle pocket.
