"THE BILLIARD PEOPLE 1 * A Wellington - Auckland J§k Christchurch HAIKF.3 3 Note: AlcocU's ■Wellington address 18 Baker's Building, opposite Union Bank. BILLIARDS «. (By "Spider.") At. the recent meeting of billiard enthusiasts m Wellington, held subsequent to the amateur championship tourney, considerable discussion took place on the question of the balls to be used m future championship games. While some players favored crystallate balls other supported the bonzoline spheroid. Finally it was decided that a uniform ball be used and the question as to which class of ball Avas left to the Auckland Sports' Club to consider and act upon. Mr. Owen strongly advocated a limitation of the middle and top pocket losing hazard play. Mr. Owen said he recognised that such, play required no little ability and yet no greater ability than nursing cannons and other specialised shots, which shots had been limited. In hl3 opinion the all-round gams should be^encouraged as specialisation stultified the game. He thought that the feelings of New Zealand players on the point might be expreßsed to the British controlling' body, All the cueists present at the meeting Indorsed Mr. Owen's opinion. ' , it t't it Mr. Sledeberg, who Is much th« best losing hazard player m New Zealand, considered that m the best interests of the game the losing ' hazard should be limited, and agreed with Mr. Warner that if such limitation were made it should be on broad lines. They both favored rather drastic limitation of specialised shots. For Influenza," take Woods' Great Peppermint Cure, 1/9. 2/9. The Rotherfield Hotel Cashet -street, Christchurch.
