Erwin Rudolph

Erwin Rudolph

Erwin Rudolph (1894-1957) was an American pocket billiards (more specifically straight pool) player from Cleveland, Ohio and a four-time world champion. He gained national recognition 1926 when he won the world pocket billiard title, besting Ralph Greenleaf who held it for six years. He won it again in 1933, third time in that same year and for the fourth and final time in 1941. One of his great feats was running 125 points in 32 minutes (now eclipsed). Rudolph was inducted to the Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame in 1987.Cite web
