In 69, went on my first road trip East with Paul Jones from Chi-Town, Charles 'Country' Monroe from NY sent for us to come East. One of our stops was, Olympic Billiards, (The Mines) in Boston. I had the pecking order of players I wanted. Charlie DeVall..., Paul, Ingy, then Shorty. 3 out of 4 were around at the time. Probably won around $1,000 -$1,500 from the front 3. Paul and Ingy played both games well. IMO, I think Ingy was 2nd only to Shorty in the area in both games at that time.
They had a, 'trick' 3c table at McGirrs that I got trapped on the first day, lost about $2K. Little Franky woke me up, the next day the PR emptied out on that player, this time on another table of my choosing, We charged them around $7,500! That's when they called Shorty in. He gave me 3 on 35, we played 4 games, we broke even.
Short one about, Paul. He came to a big 3C event at, 'Cushion n Cue' in the Detroit area, maybe 82-84. It was summer time, he showed up riding a motorcycle from, 'Beantown', with a, 'One piece cue' strapped to the cycle, like a flag pole!
Also, Paul had a sibling that played 3C too, John. He didn't play anywhere near Paul's speed in 3C.
