Players from different eras...?

In your opinion how would the pool players of today fare playing 14.1 continuous (straight pool) against the players from the 30's-50's and vice-versa. Just for an example, Let's say we took someone from today like Thorsten Hohmann and sent them back in time to when Willie Mosconi was in his prime. Thorsten has to play with the equipment available at the time, so no Predator shafts, jump/break cues, Simonis 860 cloth, etc. Let's give Thorsten 6 months to get used to whatever cue he choses, like a Herman Rambow or whatever and to practice on the old cloth. On the flip side, lets take Willie Mosconi in his prime and transport him to the latest World Straight Pool Championship in New Jersey. We'll give Willie 6 months to try out the new shafts, jump cues, fast cloth, etc. to see if he likes any of it. How would Thorsten fare back in Willie's time and how would Willie fare today? Feel free to substitue any other straight pool players if you feel they are better representatives of straight pool for their respective eras. I chose straight pool because the power break doesn't come into play. It's pretty obvious the players of today would destroy the older players in 9-ball.
