.......a time back in May 1987,Pool& Billiard Magazine had Efren on the cover jumping over a ball while wearing a starched white shirt with a bowtie.I nside was the usual tournaments being advertised,a Reno Sands Regent 9-ball with 20K added.The Glass City open with 45K in cash & prizes.The McDermott team 8-ball in Las Vegas at the Imperial Palace with 85K in big letters for the players.Also 2 good pictures of Willie,one standing with his cue and one stroking off the rail.A few of Mike Sigal and one of Buddy stroking off the rail and winning the Miller Time Open for 2,775$ first place.Reed Pierce was second.The United States Team Open had two pages of articles and pictures of 6 teams,The one from Illinois had T. Spencer,John Abruzzo,M. Jarvis & Dallas West.No Freddie........The Classic Cup by Chicago had Sigal winning and the women had Jean winning and Eva second which featured a picture of Jim Mataya kissing her with both hands on her.........tomorrow I shall attempt to rehash the Snap magazine from July 1991.It looks promising with a picture of Bill I. not to mention Buddy,Fats,Harry the Horse,Ronnie Allen,Grady,Tom Cosmo,Danny D. and Omaha Fats....stay tuned or not,cheers,James
