WGH HA (Continued from page 15) for a few miles of snooker, that game played on an acre of English billiard tuble with long pokers and little col- ored pills. I felt the need of le; work to strengthen the pins for some future serious bouts to be indulged in and snooker certainly sets up the pins. Doyle's, too, is known for some of the finest indoor air around town and I like my air good wh Furthermore, despite the that pool academies are cradles of las- situdinous caponeyism, I have always found the atmosphere at Doyle’s quiet and refined: the essence of charm if not breeding, a condition necessary for the athlete if he wants to get the full benefit from his workout.

For, surround- ch table I witnessed another rt phenomenon: a veritable army of silent kibitzers. Row on row these hungry rose before my eyes somehow restraining the impulses I knew were gnawing at their vitals to reach over and play the right card.
