Aii incident which lmppened during the exhibition billiards match between Stevenson and Abotomy shows what siinnlo things will disturb a player in making a stroke. An enthusiast, who had on several occasions timed the breaks, was occupying a sea,t at the top end of the table in cue line with baulk. Tn the break of 297 Stevenson was in hand and was about to play the red loser, wanting the three for the 300. Out came the watch, the front flew open, and the bright inside of the ease reflected the light straight to Stevenson’ eyes just as he was striking, causing him to deflect ever so lightly, but enough to make his hall touch the corner of the pocket instead of going down. The owner of the watch afterwards asked Stevenson how he came to break down at a simple loser in which were nil the elements of a much bigger break.
