INMAN Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON', November 21. This afternoon Lindrum seemed overeager to excel last night’s excellent display, and was taking liberties which spoilt several shots. Inman, who four times left Lind rum double baulks, gave a Tine display. Jll the evening Lindnim made the best of every opening, but was unlucky to spoil the biggest break of the day, niiscueing a little scrcw-back cannon. Inman led at tho halfway stage by 6-1(5 points.—Australian Press Association. SMITH’S RECORD BREAK Press Assx-iilion—J’.y Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, November 21.
