High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Frank B. Adams, (December 19, 1847 – after January 1923) commonly known as Yank Adams, was a professional carom billiards player specializing in finger billiards, in which a player manipulates the balls with his or her hands directly, instead of with an implement such as a cue stick, often by twisting the ball between the thumb and the middle finger. Adams, who was sometimes billed as the "Digital Billiard Wonder", has been lauded as the "greatest of all digit billiards players" and the "champion digital billiardist of the World." George F. Slosson, a top billiards player of Adams` era, named him the "greatest exhibition player who ever lived." His exhibitions would draw standing room only crowds of 1,000 or more spectators even in small venues.
