Ted Harris Custom Cues in Billiard Wholesale Directory

 

While living in Ocean City, Maryland in 1987 Ted took a job as the houseman at the only pool room in town called Gentleman Jims billiards. After the first summer of long, hard, work, Ted began to promote National level tournaments, drawing players from as many as 14 states. Every year at Gentleman Jims we held the Maryland State 9-Ball Championships & the Mark Giarratana Memorial, being held over Memorial Day Weekend and Labor Day weekend respectively. During the first winter in Ocean City, Ted began to play many hours a day, and the pool game jumped up several notches that year. With the success of the tournaments, and the level of play going on in OC, you can imagine there was a lot of matching up. Because OC was a resort, there were a lot of players that floated in and out of town for their summer vacations. Most of them were there for the action, and others were there for the tournaments, and some where there for both. On a local level, the Delmarva Peninsula had our own little contingency of tough players that had to be dealt with when road agents came to town for the action. Most of these people are still around and playing; Terry Fish Sapp (little story to follow!), Bill the Old Man Brandt (made my first road trip with), John Moody (Owner of Great Slates in Cambridge, MD), George Beaver Burbage, Kevin West, Freddy Scott, Steve Milano, Miles Scoochie Moffit, Charlie Crippen, and more. One local player that offered endless action, was Terry My Little Fishy Sapp...cards, pool, you name it, he was in action at ALL TIMES! There were many a night (hundreds) when the two of us closed down the joint in the wee hours of the morning, after a long night of non-stop ACTION!!! Ohhhhhh!!! the memories! Some of the road players that frequented OC were Wayne Juggie Wareheim, Cigar Tom Vanover, Dave Bollman, Tom Wirth, Danny Green, Tim Poppa Poppageorge, Mark the Shark Shrader, Gary Little Gary Flanary, Junior Harris, Joe Frady, Loudmouth Tony, Dave Smith, Don Gibson, Charlie The Korean Dragon Williams, Mike Newport, Bo Newport, Max Schlothauer, Jumpin Don Hudgins, Peter Ghostine, Bobby Legg, Mad Max Eberle, Punkie, Bus Driver Ronnie, Craig Rhineman, Mike Geese Gerace, Russell Parsons, Richard Squirrell Bassett, and many more.
