The player who doubts the accuracy of your scoring. Avoid this one.
The player who hits everything too hard. This is a very exasperating man to meet because fortune usually favours him. Either he flukes immoderately or he does not leave well. He is usually a hearty fellow with no sense of shame. Perhaps he says "Sorry;" but he adds, "It must have been on."
The player who hits everything too gently: the lamb as compared with the previous type, who is a lion. The lamb is good to play with if you prefer winning to a real contest.
The player who groans loudly when you make a fluke.
The player who is accustomed to play on a much faster table than this.
The player who calls the game Pills.
The player who calls it Tuskers.
The player who counts your breaks for you, but whether from interest or suspicion you are not sure.
The player who pots the white when he should and says nothing about it.
The player who pots the white when he should, with a thousand apologies.
