history

The 1947 Cadre 45/2 World Championship was won by the Dutchman Piet van de Pol, who was internationally unknown before the war . The defending champion from 1939 René Gabriëls was only fourth. That was probably because Gabriëls was busy founding his later world-famous billiard company Gabriels. The world championship was planned with eight participants. But the associations of Egypt, Central and North America had canceled. Due to various problems other Europeans could not participate either. Still, the championship was a great success. According to Spanish reports, the games watched 2,000 viewers. It was the last Cadre 45/2 World Championship.
