Willies run was on a 4 by 8, I believe Crane ran the 380 on a 5 by 10, big difference.
-
But you have to keep in mind Irving was not a full time pro, he was a car salesman for years. Mosconi was a full time player his whole life.
-
Big runs in str8 pool really depends on the equipment you playing on and the size of the pockets, I think Irving's high run is in the high 380s or so. Willie Mosconi ran over 500 balls. But those runs are very rare. Running 150 balls on a tight table is considered world class.

@thethecommander I beg to differ you have a whole bunch of players today that can run over a hundered John Schmidt has run 400 Earl Strickland has run over 405. The Players today are better then the players back then.

does anyone know what cues irving crane used?
-
@h2o4170 Granted he won his money in backroom bets with Luther Lassiter. Crane, Mosconi and Lassiter had better tournament careers and Fats was never better than his own running buddy, Luther. His name goes up there with the greats, and he did well when he had nothing but lint in his pocket and $5000 riding on a game where if he lost he would have gotten his legs broken. However, his tournament play was never that good.

@torontobluered When you "scratch" in pool that means you have sunk the cue-ball into one of the pockets relinquishing your control of the table to your opponent who (in the game of 9 ball) can place the cue-ball anywhere on the table with his hand after your scratch. Hence the term "ball in hand." Basically your job is to keep the cue-ball on the table and only sink the object balls. Hope that helps.

You don't ever want to scratch in these kinds of games. Especially when you're playing some one like Irving Crane. You scratch against him you may as well leave the building and watch him win it on TV while you eat a sandwich.
