James Maturo

Precision Sports

James Maturo was born in 1878 and was a five time World Straight Pool Championship finalist. In 1912 he defeated Alfredo de Oro by a score of 150 to 136 in Philadelphia to earn a place against Edward Ralph in the world final match, and in 1917 he was matched against Frank Taberski of Schenectady, New York, in a championship match. The English Wikipedia article about him is a very short entry and records little beyond these matches, so this entry stays brief and carries only what that source states about his birth year and his world championship final appearances in straight pool.
