I just love the ones with sky in the background, for some reason. There's such rich color, and the clouds are so ominous. The baseball cards all look like there's a storm coming, with deep blues and grays in the background. |

Let's start with the background: at the time these folks were active there were three divisions: light, middle and heavyweight. Also, there was a divergence in rules between the London Prize Ring and the Marquis of Queensbury. Also, with the distances between the US and UK, there wasn't really a "world" champion but there were champions from each area who would on occasion slug it out. |

It appears that D'Oro is portrayed as a pocket billiards player (which, of course, is a different game). |

Pool and billards are two very different games, thus distinction. Billards was much much more popular than pool back then, thus the reason for more billiards players. |

Pool is the game we are all familiar with and is sometimes mistakenly referred to as billiards. An actual billiard table has no pockets; the object in billiards is not to sink balls into pockets (which, again, are nonexistent), but rather, in a single shot, to make successive contact between the cue ball and several rails of the table followed by contact with one of the billiard balls. |

Ted, on the surface it is very simple, but billiards is more like chess than you would think. Actually, it is more like chess while riding a bicycle blindfolded. |
