Jake, who's been itching to lambaste the man, says 's-far's he can see, it was the poolroom man who did all the talking. |
He used to run a small gymnasium over a poolroom on Fourteenth Street, near Luchow's, and he still owns it. |
Plagued by dental trouble and outflanked by rapidly evolving jazz styles, he died in obscurity while working as a poolroom marker. |
Throughout the day, people play cards or leisurely shoot some stick in the poolroom. |
The grocery in the next block, and the poolroom, bore the same owner's name. |
I don't mean to brag, but I know the location of every poolroom in the city! |
