Billiards. 22.-CANN0NS OFF THE TOP CUSHION By RISO LEVI (Copyright). Diagram 536 shows a location of the halls which is typical of positions that often occur. When the player is in hand. a cannon off the top cushion can be made by various kinds of strokes as regards the kind of con- tact and amount of side. For example, if the cue ball be spotted at the far end of the D much lecis side will be required than is the case with the cue hall spotted, eay three or four inches from this end, the kind of con- tact with the first object ba.11 being presumed DI AG BAM £ 36.—A cannon off the top cushion piaved with plenty of fide. Red ball 6in. from, the side cushion and 50iiu. from the tnp cushion. Object white iin. freni the side' C'isMort and 18in. srorn the top CU,.bjOT1. Cue bail 3 or 4Ln. from the end of the D. Position for an in-off from the red may be obtained by means of a good-:4rengt;il stroke. to be the 6anie in eaoh case. The-ie parti- C'ular cannons from the D are, however, less difficult, when played with plenty of side than when played with only a moderate amount of side, for when the angle is such that only a moderate amount of side is required it is no ea.Fy matter to imp-art just the right amoomt to the cue ball. If instead ot striking the cue ball on the correct spot", it is struck only fractionally to the right or left of this spot too much side or too little side will be imparted to it. When, howLver, the augle is such that a player knows that the amount of side re- quired for the stroke is just about as much or nearly a,s much a,s he is ab!eto impart to the cue ball, he is less likely to go wrong than when, though having to play with side, he has not to impart to the cue ball any- thing like the maximum amount of side which he is able to impart, for in the former caste he plays the stroke with as much side as he can, whereas in the latter case he haa to gauje the amount. This question of a moderate amount of side as contrasted with plenty of side has its counterpart in screw strokes, for screw cannons or screw in-offs are often much easier when they require plenty of screw, than when, though impos- sible at modrate strength without screw, they only require very little screw. The can- non shown on Diagram 586 should therefore be played with plenty of side and the cue ball should be spotted at an angle which will be in ,aoCcordnce with the amount of side with which the stroke is being played. With the object balls situated as shown on Diagram 586 the cue ball should be spotted three or four inches from the end of the D, and from this spotting of the cue ball the cannon can be made by means of a stroke about half-way between quarter-ball and half-hall, played with plenty of side.' The stroke should be played with drag. The first object ball will cross the table more as in- dicated by the intersected line, and though the exact direction of its line of travel will depend upon how full or otherwise it has been taken by the cue ball-the fuller the contract the higher up the table will it trayel-a good-strength stroke will generally leave 'position for an in-off into the top Ipockot. "DIAGBAM 537.—A cannon off the top and side cushions piaved w. itt, plenty of sid-e. Red baU 9m. from t-he side cushion and 54in. from the top cushion. Object white 4in. from the side cushion, and 25in. from the top cushion. Cne baJl at or near the extreme eci of the D. Position for an in-off from the red may 'be obtained by mmns of a good-strength, stroke. Diagram 567 slIowe a variation of the can. non shown on Diagram 586. Owing to the second object ball being several inches away from the cushion the cannon mn be made either off the top omhion only or off the top and side cushions. It is, however, better to play this cannon off two cushions ?t-han off only one. for when played off two cushions the risk of the cue ball passing be. tween the cushion and the second object bail wit-hou-t touching this hall is very greatly lessened. The cue bail should be spotted at or near the extreme end of the D, and the stroke should he played with plenty of side and drag. A good-strength stroke will generally lea.ve position for an in-off to continue with. Mr. Leri/p articles aTttw-ar every -1 Saturday in the "Evening Expre^e."
