BILLIARDS.
A pertinent par from the "Sydney Referee":—"Business as usual appears to be the motto among' 'the English billiardists this season, judging from the cabled accounts of the matches being made. _ Although many of their patrons are lyins? in the trenches in Flanders and Gallipoli, few of the players whj are eligible appear to have answered the call. These remarks also apply
many cueists in Australia. This is 'Jot playing the game. All those who are not represented at the front and capable should' get a move on and go there in this hour of peril."
A match took place recently between H. W. Stevenson and M. Inman. The former won by 286 points in- 18,000, and in doing so put up a break of 994— six short of the coveted thousand. The break is described as one of the greatest efforts of modern billiards, being as near -perfection in cue artistry as human agency is capable of.
