LINDRUM'S GREAT FEAT
RECORD . BREAK OF 3262
LONDON, 7th December.
Liiidrum has made a world's record break of 3262. Lindrum never looked like failing, and beat his own record. Ho was as cool as a cucumber when he resumed on Saturday afternoon. The audience was insistent on its demand for a speech, when Lindrum thanked Londoners for their wonderful reception. Ho said if he had any regret it was that ho made a world's record at the expense of so good a sportsman as Smith.
Melbourne Inman, writing in the "Evening Standard," says: "Had Lindrum entered for the championsbin there would have been only one. maii in the contest. I was champion eleven times, and there was nothing to prevent Lindrum being champion twenty times. Ko one ever played the nursery cannon in such a clean manner as Lindrum. He steers tho balls round the jaws of the pocket in a way that is more than wonderful. Tho most extraordinary thing is that all his shots are his own. He has learned nothing from anybody, which denotes that he is a bom genius."
