HAIR ENDS EFFORT
FALKINEK'S PREDICTION
(.Received 9th December, 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, Bth December.
Lindrum broke down at the top of the table as the rosult of a hair from the brush used for brushing the table slightly misdirecting the white ball. Curiously, ho felt nowise exhausted by the constant strain, but now and again he felt it necessary to look toward the gallery for a space of a minute or two as a relief from the concentration. He said that when he was at the table for long periods it was a great reliof to look at something away from the table. It was even a big relief to chalk one's cue.
"The fact that Lindrum deprives me of the world's record in no wise worries me. Walter is the world's greatest. It is fitting that he hold tho world's record," commented Falkiner, who came specially from his own match to congratulate the champion. "I predicted 3000 for Lindrum. I now predict 5000. Anything is possible with that boy."
The "Morning Post" says in an editorial: "No doubt Lindrum is the finest billiards player tho world has ever seen. We used to think Willie Smith unbeatable, but by comparison with the Australian artists he is but an imperfect artisau."
