" Ruth McGinnis stated playing pool at the aged 7 in her father's barbershop pool hall on South Main Street in Honesdale Pennsylvania. She was a prodigious player at a young age making a run of 47 at the age of about 10. She was the captain of the varsity basketball team that won the Pennsylvania state championship in 1928. McGinnis scored 36 points in one game and 341 across the 15 games in the series. In 1943 she completed training as a physical education teacher at Teachers' College. Whilst at Stroudsburg she participated in a number of sports including soccer golf softball and field hockey. She also served as a lifeguard and is said to have saved a man from drowning. McGinnis found it difficult to secure a teaching post after leaving Stroudsburg and joined a programme called "Better Billiards" organised by the National Billiards Council of America which sponsored McGinnis to visit pool halls and promote pool. The visits usually involved her giving a short talk demonstrating some trick shots and playing against representatives of the venue. She travelled around 28000 miles a year and over 200000 miles in less than ten years." from Wikipedia . National Billiard Association of America paperback
