Summary

Description
English: Billiards. Let the player place the white ball at K, the centre spot in baulk. The red ball is placed on the spot A, which is just 3 ft. 9½ in. from the face of the top cushion. There is an easy losing hazard, if the stroke be played with the ordinary half-ball stroke, into either top pocket off the red ball. Now let him take the red ball off the spot marked A and place it on M, the centre spot in the table, and place his own ball in baulk on the proper spot to go into, say, the left-hand top pocket off M. The proper spot is B in the diagram, seven and a half inches from K, the centre spot in baulk.
