This is my "Beaten by" list. It is almost as long as my "Beat list," which if anything, tells you that I liked to play, and would play anybody, and my bankroll was at risk every time I got down. Plus, as you can see, beating me only insured you a replay. For example, Vernon Eliot got to strum on me an awful lot before I finally got to beat him. One guy who is not on the list, I never beat, Polack Vince The Killer. We started playing, him spotting me 8 to 5. I lost every time. Then 8 to 6. Never won. Then 8 to 7. Still no good. Finally, even up. I had improved enough that I could now win, but he managed to hang on and only break even. He never played me again. George Fels chronicled my wars with Vince in a Billiard Digest article.
