Former Champion
To Be Here Today
Free billiard lessons by u former
world's pocket billiard champion are
available at Hex Billiard Parlor, DeKalb
htreet, at 9:30 p. in. on March
8 when Erwin Rudolph appeurfc here
in Connection ^ith the National "better
Bill iards" program sponsored by
the National Hilliard Association of
America. This invitation is open to
men and women alike and those interested
should not fail to take advantage
of this offer. Rudolph also
Will give an exhibition at pocket billiards
as well as a series of fancy
shots,
Iludolph held the title in 1027,
1930 and 1931 as well as in 1933 and
1934, losing the latter to Andrew
Ponzi in a challenge match. He was
born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1893, and
is of Rohemian descent. He has been
playing billiards for 23 years during
which time he has worked at core
making, office boy, and is a talented
musician on the violin. Every summer
when he is not touring the country
Rudolph can be found on the
lakes of northern Wisconsin fishing.
During his career as u musician in
a theatre in Cleveland Rudolph decided
to become seriously interested
in the billiard game and gave up that
profession to enter one of the world's
I tournaments.
It was no easy road for Rudolph
at first but it was a question of
| "making 'em or starving." After a
short time however, he succeeded in
"making 'em" and as a result is today
recognized as one of. the few
top-notchers in the game.
