Sand Billiards 1936
Description
Quick story about men who have drawn a billiards table on the sand of a flat beach.
A group of people stand over the players and watch them knock balls about the sand. Nice MS of an elderly sailor wearing his cap and smoking a pipe as he cues up his shot.
N.B. Story goes out of rack...
