Gabriel Dumont is related to billiards because of his stint of ownership of an antique pool table. The piece of billiards history was once used at a "stopping place" in Batoche that Dumont owned. The antique pool table is now famous in the billiards world. You can read more in billiardsforum.info's article on the man: http://www.billiardsforum.info/billiard-articles/Gabriel-dumont.asp . Gabriel Dumont's table was looted and hauled away by Canadian soldiers, but was recently returned to Dumont's long time home of Batoche.

There are probably quite a few antique pool tables out there, but probably not many with the type of history belonging to Gabriel Dumont. Dumont, a Saskatchewan stopping place owner and billiard enthusiast in the late 1800's, had a billiard table looted from him by the Canadian Forces. After many years, and several strange locations to call it's home including a penitentiary, the table now owned by Parks Canada is being returned to its hometown.

Keith Sheard ushered Morris Motors to a four-two victory over the Democrats in the Oxford and District League. Sheard recovered from the loss of his first game. Sheard lost 4,130 to 4,040 to John Patey in the first, but went on to score 21,460 in the second. (break 13,840) Dave Bartlett was the top scorer of the set for Democrats with 10,250. Corner House's Peter Farrelley (10,800 and 9,730) was the only player to successfully figure out a tricky pool table and came to terms with it's nuances as they defeated Masons B five-one. After Mick Jones black-pegged, Jason Smith (1,900) was the Masons' only winner.

Hello, Over the next week, you will see some funny things going on with the pool forum and how the site looks in general. After some feedback, we are abandoning the greed background in favor of a more readable white background. The forum requires a bit more coding, and thus, you may see some weird things going on there while the fix is bing implemented. The billiard forum will still be fully functional, so post away. Thanks, Webmaster, billiardsforum.info
