> In 1928 what he was best at was getting the three balls close together and then “nursing” them—that is, making long runs by keeping the balls together with a soft, delicate stroke.

This means that the game is "English Billiards" with the pockets. A delicate stroke won't help in the "no-pocket billiards" as a valid shot needs to hit (atleast) 3 cushions.
