See also:Mississippi.—This variation is played with a See also:bridge pierced with 9 on 'more See also:arches, according to the See also:size of the table, the arches being numbered from 1.upwards. All nine balls are usually played, though the black is sometimes omitted, each player having a See also:round, the object -being to send the balls through the arches. This may not be done directly, but the balls must strike a See also:cushion first, the black, if used, counting See also:double the See also:arch made.
