Snooker Pool.

Snooker Pool.

Snooker pool is a new game that an English champion in pool and billiards is trying to introduce in this country. In London the game has become a popular fad in clubs and fashionable private houses and has already abstracted much attention from players here. The new game of snooker pool is played with the twelve balls used in ordinary English pool and the fifteen balls of pyramid pool in addition. On the English table of 12 by 6 feet the twenty-seven balls do not crowd the surface as on the ordinary American table.
