score counts for the adversary . If the striker's ball is holed he plays from baulk; if an object-ball, it is spotted as at the beginning of the game . A cannon counts 2; missing the white object-ball scores 1 to the adversary; missing the black; 5 to the adversary . If there are pockets, the striker scores 2 for holing the white object-ball and 3 for holing the black, but a cannon must be made by the same stroke; otherwise the score counts for the adversary . - The Irish Cannon Game.—The rules of the cannon game apply, except that in all cases pocketed balls count for the adversary . Mississippi.—This variation is played with a bridge pierced with 9 on 'more arches, according to the size of the table, the arches being numbered from 1.upwards . All nine balls are usually played, though the black is sometimes omitted, each player having a round, the object -being to send the balls through the arches . This may not be done directly, but the balls must strike a cushion first, the black, if used, counting double the arch made . If a ball is played through an arch, without first striking a cushion, the score goes to the adversary, but another ball, lying in front of the bridge, may be sent through by the cue-ball if the latter has struck a cushion . If a ball falls into a cup the striker scores the value of the cup as well as of the arch .
