Edward Lancaster Lee (29 September 1905 – 18 May 1969)[1] was an American professional carom billiards player from New York City.
Career
Although three-cushion billiards was popular in the United States at that time, most of the American players competed in the World Championship staged in their country where the likes of Willie Hoppe and Welker Cochran were the dominant contenders. Edward Lee, however, was the only American three-cushion player at the time to win the UMB World Three-cushion Championship, defeating fellow American Eugene Deardorff for the title in 1936.[1][2]
