BILLIARDS

WORLD’S RECORD BREAK > * MADE BY SMITH a (Australian Press Association.) (Rec. November 25, 11.5 p.m.) London, November 24. Smith began to play from 870 unfinished and at the end of the afternoon session had reached 2250. Resuming in the evening, he scored most rapidly, adding 250 in twenty minutes. His final breakdown was surprising, the player failing with a simple pot off the red, which was at the mouth of the pocket Smith made a statement that he was delighted, for the honour of the Old Country, to have exceeded every record in England, Australia and elsewhere. INMAN LEADING F. LINDRUM (Rec. November 25, 11.5 p.m.) London, November 24. F. Lindrum this afternoon seemed overeager to excel last night’s excellent display and was taking liberties, which spoilt several shots. Inman, who four times left Lindrum double baulks, gave a fine display. In the evening Lindrum made the best of every opening, but was unlucky to spoil the biggest break of th» day by miscuing a little on a screwback cannon. Inman leads at the halfway stage by 646. LINDRUM STILL LEADS McCONACHY By Telegraph.—Press Association. Dunedin, November 25.
