Vidal (Dunedin) in the first round of the New Zealand amateur billiards championship, played at the Returned Soldiers’ Club room this morning. Both men obviously found the table and the surroundings strange, while the dampness in the air also had its effect on their play. They did not appear to play with their usual confidence, and several shots were missed. The game occupied almost three hours, the scoring being to 666. The following were the scores:— Albertson 666 , Vidal 525 Breaks were: —Albertson; 24, 41, 49 (2), 25. 66. 30. 37. Vidal: 29, 34, 30, 24. 21 (2), 28, 24. The winner’s average was 7 points each shot, while Vidal averaged about 5.9. The game was refereed by Mr C. ■(. Bertenshaw, and Mr A. Greig was the marker.
