Not illustrated. 1901 Excerpt: ... between 4 and 9, s may be a quarter of an inch from the cushion without spoiling the stroke. By standing at Q as before, the player will see that the angle Q s B is slightly in excess of the half-ball angle; it appears in fact to be about 36. Seven-eighth-ball Kisses.--As might be expected, these have not a very large range. The red ball should be 39 inches from the N cushion, the limits for p being 7 and 10. No. 3 strength should be used. Opportunities for one or other of these kiss cannons are of constant occurrence. The third ball need not, of course, be in contact with any cushion; in fact, its most favourable situation is a few inches away from a cushion, for in this position the chances of a cannon, either directly or off a cushion, are increased. II. Kiss Hazards.--In the diagram (fig. 65) the red ball is in contact with the N E cushion and 12 inches from the N cushion. The numbered dots, at a distance of 18 inches from the N B cushion, represent the distance in inches from the N cushion of successive positions of the northern edge of the player's ball (p). When the dot 12 is occupied, p will be exactly opposite R. The losing hazard into N E is a gentle half-ball, P being struck high with r side. B should reach the centre line of the table about a foot above the centre spot, but the stroke may, if desired, be played much more gently. If p is on 10, aim at the same pace, or, if anything, a little more gently, a shade fuller than a half-ball. E should travel to the same spot as in the previous stroke. With p on 8 the stroke is a three-quarter-ball, but must be played much more gently than in either of the preceding cases, E travels towards the centre spot, but not nearly so far, particularly if p be not struck above the centre; in this case the stroke...
