Pool.
A
game
played
by
two
or
more
persons,
consisting
of
winning
hazard
only.
Each
player
subscribes
a
certain
stake
to
form
a
pool
or
gross
sum,
and
at
starting
has
three
chances
or
lives.
He
is
then
provided
with
a
marked
or
coloured
ball,
and
the
game
proceeds
thus:
The
white
ball
is
placed
on
the
spot,
and
the
red
is
played
on
to
it
from
baulk.
If
the
player
pocket
the
white
he
receives
the
price
of
a
life
from
the
owner
of
the
ball;
but
if
he
fail,
the
next
player
(yellow)
plays
on
the
red;
and
so
on
alternately
till
all
have
played,
or
till
a
ball
is
pocketed.
When
a
ball
is
pocketed,
the
striker
plays
at
the
ball
nearest
his
own,
and
goes
on
playing
as
long
as
he
can
score.
The
first
player
who
loses
his
three
lives
can
star:
that
is,
he
can
purchase
as
many
lives
as
are
held
by
the
lowest
number
remaining
in
the
pool.
The
order
of
play
is
usually
red
upon
white,
yellow
upon
red,
green
upon
yellow,
brown
upon
green,
blue
upon
brown,
black
upon
blue,
spot-white
upon
black,
white
upon
spot-white;
and
this
order
is
retained
so
long
as
all
the
original
players
remain
in
the
game.
When
the
number
of
players
is
reduced
to
two,
they
can,
if
they
possess
an
equality
of
lives,
as
two
each,
or
one
each,
divide
the
stake;
or
they
may
by
agreement
play
out
the
game
for
the
entire
pool.
