May 17, 1978 World-class pool player Gloria Walker gives an exhibition at Gentleman Jim’s Billiard Emporium in Minneapolis. Walker racked up a slew of national championships in 9-ball (1975), 8-ball (1976) and 6-ball (1976 and 1977). According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Walker defeated Minnesota Fats after he bragged that no woman had ever beaten him. “For $150 a night, Gloria Walker will destroy a man’s ego,” the Inquirer wrote.
