So, if you’re not sure whether a table is slate or wood, try to lift it up - carefully. With proper care, slate tables can last generations. It is related to the precision in which you can consistently contact the ball with the cue tip. Some holes are in a sort of pot, which, though small just where the hole is, nevertheless has widely expanding sides, and you probably will find your ball dead if you get it into it at all from any distance; but another is on a table-land, where the chief difficulty is not to get the ball on the table-land but to keep it there. Each ball has a designated point value, and the player must alternate between potting a red ball and a colored ball until all the reds are off the table. British style pool is another billiard game that makes use of 15 object balls and a cue ball. The unseen game was going on at a tremendous rate.

On the page facing the title page is a picture of Eglinton Castle with a game of "croquet" in full swing. The cue ball is then placed behind the head string, and the game can begin. Keep in mind that the direction change transferred to an object ball is very small- usually 5 percent or less. Some rules dictate that a scratch on an8 ball shotis an automatic forfeit, no matter whether the 8 ball is still in play or not. But you’ll need different kinds of balls to play other games. You’ll need to sketch the snooker ‘D’ form at one end of the table with extreme caution. Snooker uses a table that has six pockets, what is billiards but the table is generally larger than pool tables.

There are said to be two at Simla, not counting the woman who blows the bellows at Syree dâk-bungalow on the Old Road; Mussoorie has a house haunted of a very lively Thing; a White Lady is supposed to do night-watchman round a house in Lahore; Dalhousie says that one of her houses "repeats" on autumn evenings all the incidents of a horrible horse-and-precipice accident; Murree has a merry ghost, and now that she has been swept by cholera, will have room for some sorrowful ones; there are Officers' Quarters in Mian Mir whose doors open without reason, and whose furniture is guaranteed to creak, not with the heat of June but with the weight of Invisibles who come to lounge in the chairs; Peshawar possesses houses that none will willingly rent; and there is something-not fever-wrong with a big bungalow in Allahabad.

There are three ways of scoring: (1) the losing hazard, or loser, is a stroke in which the striker’s cue ball is pocketed after contact with another ball; (2) the winning hazard, or pot, is a stroke in which a ball other than the striker’s cue ball is pocketed after contact with another ball; (3) the cannon, or carom, is a scoring sequence in which the striker’s cue ball contacts the two other balls successively or simultaneously. In most areas table scratches are rare and the results are much the same as common pocketed cue ball scratches. Carom balls are also not numbered and are bigger in diameter than standard pool balls. And because those balls were newly introduced into the game, he called his version of "black pool" as a snooker. Snooker is also one of the cue sports that is played with cues on a six-pocket table.
