Scope and content
George Michaels carefully lines up a shot on October 27, 1967, while exhibition playing at 8 Ball Billiards, 123 1/2 So. 13th St. Photographs were taken that evening for use as posters. "Whitey" Michaels was the owner of 8 Ball Billiards. According to a past customer, he employed about four people and was very friendly to everyone. Apparently he was an excellent player and would often meet and greet other good players visiting from out of town, sometimes playing with them. The 8 Ball was a hang out for average middle class players. The "Professor," "Tree," "Shorty," and "Shakey Joe" were just some of the 8 Ball's customers. Photograph ordered by 8 Ball Billiards.
