時にツアーのチケットが売れないときもあり、コクランは苦しんだ。かつて年のコクランとホッペの試合のチケットは13都市で売り切れており [7] 、 NEA のスポーツ記者ハリー・グレイソンは、ビリヤード人気そのものが落ち込んでいると語っている。ツアーは必ずしも満席ではなかったが、桂はカリフォルニアに戻ると同時に有名選手とのエキシビジョンマッチを続けた。年1月、桂はサンフランシスコで1週間の日程でキルゴアとの試合を組んだ。試合は一進一退で、12日の初試合では桂が7対10で勝ったが、次の試合ではキルゴアが勝った。2つの試合のトータルスコアは桂、キルゴアだった [51] 。. 桂は最初の試合でランドバーグを71イニングの50対44で破った [59] 。松山には39イニングの50対37で敗れた [60] 。ルビンにも52イニングの50対37で敗れた [61] 。フィッツパトリックには50イニングで50対38で勝利 [62] 。さらにカマーチョにも56イニングで50対44で勝利。この試合では8ランを達成した [63] 。ナバラも43イニングで50対40で破った [64] 。キルゴアには42イニングで50対41で敗れた [65] 。ハロルドにも52イニングで50対4と敗れた [66] 。ボーズマンには60イニングで50対48で勝利 [67] 、これが最終試合だった。戦績は5勝5敗、順位は6位だった。この大会では前年2位の松山が6位に終わっている。優勝はキルゴア、2位はナバラとボーズマンが同位だった [68] 。.

桂は年3月12～17日、サンフランシスコでレイ・キルゴアとのエキシビジョンマッチを組んだ。試合はポイント制のスリークッションだった [73] 。試合は対でキルゴアが辛くも勝った。試合後キルゴアは「彼女は本当にすばらしい」と語っている [74] 。翌週、桂はコクランとエキシビジョンを行い、45イニングで50対33で破っている [75] 。. この年の大会は ブエノスアイレス で8人で行われた。桂、 ジャクソン の レイ・ミラー （ 英語版 ） [76] [77] 、ハロルド・ワースト、アルゼンチンのフアンとエセキエルのナバラ兄弟、復帰参戦のコクラン、カマーチョ、前優勝のキルゴアだった [76] 。女性参加はまたも桂一人だった [78] 。初戦でミラーに76イニングで60対47で勝ち [79] 、シャマコにも60対55で勝ったが [76] 、エセキエルには48イニングで60対28で負けた [80] 。フアンには77イニングで60対52で勝ち、桂は4位だった。優勝はワーストとエセキエルのプレーオフとなり、最終的にワーストが優勝した [81] 。.

桂は年までの5年ほどは試合に出ていない。桂はその間に日本語で『撞球上達法 』を出している。なお、桂は年にも教則本『撞球入門』を出している。年にはエキシビジョンを30ほど行っている [4] 。年2月9日、桂はハロルド・ワーストとポイント制のエキシビジョンマッチをシカゴのランドルフレクレーションで行った [82] [83] 。続いてフィラデルフィアでも50ポイント制のスリークッションを6試合行い [8] [84] 、さらにニューヨークでも行った [85] 。. 同じ月、桂は ABC の『 ユー・アスク・フォー・イット （ 英語版 ） 』にも出演し、 西部劇 番組が作られる様子を見学した [88] [89] 。桂は年11月25日の『ユー・アスク・フォー・イット』にも登場し、今度はトリックプレーなど桂ならではの活躍を披露した [90] 。.

その後、スリークッションの人気が低迷し、世界大会が開かれなかった [91] [92] 。そこで年のチャンピオン、ハロルド・ワーストは [92] [93] 、自らが防衛戦を企画し、年3月13～18日にミシガンのグランドラピッドのホテルで賞金ドルの試合を桂に挑んだ。ワースはスリークッションの試合を6つ組み、対で桂に勝利した [94] 。. それ以降、桂の話はあまり伝わらなくなった。マッグーティはいろいろなビリヤードサークルや桂の夫などから引退の理由を聞き、残念だと述べている [16] 。なお、桂の夫は年になくなっている [95] 。.

Army non-commissioned officer in , Katsura emigrated to the United States in There she was invited to play in the U. Katsura was the first woman ever to be included in any world billiards tournament.

Her fame cemented, Katsura went on an exhibition tour of the United States with eight-time world champion Welker Cochran , and later with time world champion Willie Hoppe. In and , she again competed for the world three-cushion crown, taking fifth and fourth places respectively. Little was seen of Katsura for the next few years. She made 30 exhibition appearances in , and went on a one-week exhibition engagement the following year with Harold Worst , but did not compete in any professional tournaments.

In , she made two television appearances on ABC’s You Asked for It , and one on the CBS primetime television hit What’s My Line? Katsura returned to competition in , playing a challenge match for the World Three-Cushion title against Worst, then reigning world champion, and was defeated by him. Katsura disappeared from the sport thereafter, only making a brief impromptu appearance in She moved back to Japan around and died in I practice before parlor open every day for two hours.

Every day I practice, Soon I play with many men. Men want to beat me. I play men, six, seven hours a day. Men no like, they do not beat me. If I hit no good, my brother-in-law, after billiard parlor closed, say this shot no good. This shot bad, I make good. He tells me. Not so many good woman players in Japan.

I have sister. Very good. Same stroke. Masako Katsura was born on 7 March in Tokyo. Little is known about Katsura’s childhood in Japan. Kobashi was a fine player and taught Katsura the fundamentals of various carom billiards games.

In , Katsura met Kinrey Matsuyama , who had won Japan’s national three-cushion championship multiple times. national champion in , [14] was the runner-up three other times [15] and had four second-place finishes in world competition at During Katsura caught the eye of American serviceman Vernon Greenleaf [11] no relation to the pool and carom billiards champion Ralph Greenleaf , [18] a master sergeant in the U.

Army’s Quartermaster Corps who had been in the armed services for 22 years. At the time of their marriage Katsura already boasted two second-place finishes at Japan’s national three-cushion championship; one from the year prior to their wedding. In Greenleaf was transferred to a U. post from Haneda Air Base in Tokyo. Dick Cochran, a naval officer stationed in Japan, to investigate and received back a glowing report [20] that said possibly to Cochran’s annoyance , “this girl is better than you are!

After Katsura arrived in the U. At that meeting she clicked off runs of and at straight rail, made in the words of Cochran “almost unbelievable shots” [20] after switching to balkline, and showed high competence at three-cushion, consistently scoring. She’s liable to beat anybody, even Willie Hoppe I could not see any weak spots She’s going to give lots of those players fits.

If you eliminate three cushion, I don’t think you could find five people in the world who could beat her. Her best games are straight rail and balkline, but she’ll be the three cushion champion of the world in time. She has one of the best strokes I’ve ever seen, and she shoots as well left-handed as right-handed. Katsura’s participation in the World Three-Cushion Billiards title marked the first time that a woman had competed for any world billiards title.

I look forward to playing with her. Life magazine reported that “San Franciscans who did not know a cue from a cucumber crowded in to see her Katy [ sic ] stole the show. The 10 champions slated to play in the round robin format tournament [31] were Katsura, her mentor, Matsuyama, favorite and defending champion Willie Hoppe, Mexican champion Joe Chamaco , Herb Hardt of Chicago, New York’s Art Rubin , Los Angeles’ Joe Procita , Ray Kilgore of San Francisco, Jay Bozeman of Vallejo and Binghamton’s Irving Crane.

On the second day of the competition, [23] 7 March , Katsura drew Irving Crane for her first match. They made quite a contrast as Crane was the tallest player at the tourney, [37] while Katsura was described by reporter Curley Grieve of the San Francisco Examiner as “so small and doll-like she looks like a figurine in her flowing, gold-satin gown. On 11 March, she lost to Chamaco, 50 to 35, [41] but the following day Katsura upset Procita 50—43 in 63 innings, with runs of six, five and four.

On 14 March, Katsura faced the undefeated Hoppe, losing 50 to 31 in 36 innings. By the 21st inning Matsuyama held a 29—21 lead. Katsura battled back, the score 43—42 in her favor by inning 33, but Matsuyama ran three in the 46th inning, and Katsura could not close the gap.

On 18 March Katsura trounced Art Rubin 50—28 in 58 innings. This was the biggest upset of the tournament. Kilgore, the “Giant Killer”, was the only player other than Matsuyama who was considered to have a fighting chance at dethroning Hoppe. Above her were Crane at sixth, Rubin at fifth, Kilgore at fourth, Bozeman at third and Matsuyama as runner-up. Following the competition, Jay Bozeman, said “We’ve found it hard to believe that a woman could actually step into the best billiard championship in the world and hold her own.

Miss Katsura is one of the finest players I’ve faced in a world’s tournament”, [11] while Welker Cochran , five-time holder of the Billiards World Crown, predicted: [6] “Given another two or three years of American competition and she will be the world’s champion Masako has opened a new field for women. Her presence has made the game attractive to women for the first time.

She has the power of a man and strokes beautifully. Her maneuvers with the cue ball are fantastic. All she needs is a bit more experience and she will be unbeatable.

Masako Katsura was the greatest thing that ever happened in the whole history of billiards maybe the greatest thing that ever happened period. For a woman to compete on absolutely equal terms with men and a cute, feminine woman, at that why, it’s never been done before or since.

She was not competing against just any men, understand, she was competing against the greatest players in the world. She was a sensation. People who had never heard of billiards before stood in line around the block for tickets to see her perform.

Soon after the championship, Cochran announced he was coming out of a seven-year retirement to play an exhibition tour with Katsura. Thereafter, they planned stops in Kansas City 2—3 May ; Chicago 5—11 May ; Detroit in mid-May; and on to tentative stops in Cleveland, Buffalo , Boston, Philadelphia, Dallas, San Diego, Los Angeles and Long Beach.

The format was to be a point straight-rail match, followed by a point three-cushion game played under tournament conditions [53] with trick or “fancy” shots to follow. Women can play just as well as men. Billiards champion Tex Zimmerman Cochran’s partner in the Club [13] and well known pool hustler Danny McGoorty had a hand in organizing the tour. In preparation, they played up Katsura’s exoticness and her physical attractiveness. Tex Zimmerman’s wife sewed tight-fitting kimono for Katsura, slit up the side, which she wore during her exhibitions with high heels.

She was thirty-nine years old but she looked twenty-nine. She hopped around that table on her high heels, giving the fans a little smile, and everybody loved her. It was Katsura’s playing ability, though, rather than her other charms, that made her a phenomenon. When Cochran returned from his tour with Katsura he told McGoorty, who was a world class player in his own right, “you will have trouble with her.

I had trouble with her. I played hard and I threw her all the dirtiest stuff I knew, and I was lucky to win five out of the ten games. If you had the slightest idea of easing up on her because she was only a cute little girl, you were dead.

She would murder you. I found out damn quick you could not leave her an open shot. If you did she would take those balls away from you and stick them right up your pooper. The killer instinct—that broad had it, and never mind the little smile. A number of pre-booked stops on the tour suffered from lack of attendance. Cochran was very bitter about it. NEA sports editor, Harry Grayson indicated that the game was in general decline, and said that Cochran “traces the decline of championship and exhibition billiards to manufacturers taking the stars off the payroll during the depression.

Katsura and Kilgore put on a week-long exhibition in San Francisco in January , where they seesawed back and forth. On 12 January, Katsura beat Kilgore in their first match with runs of seven and ten, but lost to him in their second. The total points scored by the two at that time was for Katsura to Kilgore’s Katsura started another exhibition series with Cochran at his club in February [56] and, tuning up for the world tournament, to start on 26 March, went on a nationwide tour with Willie Hoppe in the latter part of February included Chicago, Boston and other locations.

Her husband accompanied her to provide translation. With Hoppe retired as of , there was excitement over who would take the world three-cushion crown, [61] to be held in Chicago [62] at the Chicago Town Club in the Sheraton Hotel. New to the field were Harold Worst of Grand Rapids , Hollywood’s John Fitzpatrick , Mel Lundberg of Minneapolis and Ezequiel Navarra of Argentina. Navarra was considered the favorite by experts, having won championships that year in Cuba, Colombia, Peru and Argentina and having just come off an exhibition tour with Cochran in which Navarra averaged a formidable 1.

In Katsura’s first match she defeated Lundberg 50—44, in 71 innings. The winner of the world crown was Kilgore with an eight-win, two-loss record. Navarra and Bozeman tied for second. After the championship wrapped up, Katsura and Matsuyama gave an exhibition together in Long Beach, California [74] advertisement at right. The format was points at balkline, followed by a race to 40 at three-cushion and then a trick shot exhibition.

Katsura crushed her teacher, —11 and —3 at balkline, but Matsuyama won both the three-cushion matches, 40—34 and 40— After returning to Japan, Matsuyama suffered a heart attack and died on 20 December His eldest son, Hideo, 18, was attending a San Francisco high school at the time.

He was said to have taught all of Japan’s top players, among which Katsura was the star pupil. Next, Katsura played a five-day, point three-cushion exhibition series with Ray Kilgore in San Francisco, 12—17 March Kilgore said: “She played really remarkable billiards and I played a little over my head.

The World Three-Cushion tournament was held in Buenos Aires with only 8 contestants: Katsura; Ray Miller [81] of Jackson, Michigan ; [82] Harold Worst; Argentinian brothers Juan and Ezequiel Navarra; Welker Cochran, who had come out of retirement; Chamaco; and defending champion, Kilgore.

In her first round she was victorious over Miller, 60—47 [83] in 76 innings, [82] then beat Chamaco 60—55, [81] but followed with a loss to Ezequiel Navarra 60—28 in 48 innings. On the last day Harold Worst and Ezequiel Navarra ended in a tie with a playoff to be held [85] initially to 60 points, later raised to a point format, [86] at which Worst ultimately prevailed on 25 October She made 30 exhibition appearances in [7] but had been in “virtual retirement” [88] for about five years.

On 1 March , Katsura appeared on CBS ‘ popular primetime television show, What’s My Line? By and for a few years prior, there was no longer an organized world three-cushion championship.

Little was heard from Katsura for many years after the world championship. McGoorty lamented her retirement, stating various theories that he had heard bandied about in billiard circles, such as that her husband [18] who died in June [] kept her from playing for various reasons.

She borrowed a cue from someone present and proceeded to run points at straight rail without problem. On 7 March , Katsura was featured in a Google Doodle on the search engine’s home page, as part of its celebration of International Women’s Day. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Katsura lining up a shot at the World Three-Cushion Billiards tournament in Buenos Aires [1]. Vernon Greenleaf. At their simplest, the object of carom games is to score points or “counts” by caroming one’s own cue ball off both the opponent’s cue ball and the third object ball on a single shot. The required manner this is to be done, e.

In straight rail, the object of the game is simply to carom one’s cue ball off both object balls, with no restrictions on the manner this may be accomplished, such as a number of rails required to be struck before the hit on the second ball as in three-cushion or cushion caroms , or a limit on the number of points that may be scored while the balls are gathered in a demarcated area of the table as in the balkline games. In three-cushion billiards, the object of play is to carom one’s cue ball off both object balls with at least three rail cushions being struck before the cue ball contacts the second object ball.

Three-cushion is a very difficult game, with an average of just one point per inning considered professional-level play. Sports Illustrated. Archived from the original on 4 April Retrieved 7 February
