NEW ZEALAND BILLIARDIST
OPINION OF McCONACHY
Erie Martin, who writes about, billiards for the London “Daily Herald,” has a very high opinion of Clark McConachy, but he wrote the following before Me'Conachy’s recent lapse from his true form:
Had lie not been contemporaneous with the all-coii(|ucring Lindrunr, the serious-looking New Zealander would probably have been a world beater. McGonachy knows all the strokes and, as an exponent of the top-of-the-table game, lias no superior. Incidentally, lie exploits this phase of the game in a manner not quite in keeping with the conventional methods. He does not keep the white ball tucked up under the cushion, as most of the professionals do. He keeps the object white several inches off the cushion, and deadly potting enables him to retain position.
