LONIjfON, September 2R. Qrit’ies agree thnti Walter Lindrum’s. concession of seven thousand. to , all of his opponents in the fortnight’s match,, with 'reduced resisipps,. will -give each a fair chance of sue'ess. Thus far Lindrum has not produced the form that. h e displayed on his previous visit, but,then his form was so phenomenal that nothing under a thousand was regarded, as. worthy of him. Some writers are inclined to stress that if Lindrum does not improve his form against Falkiner, lie will be hard pressed to win, overlooking the fart that he is playing under new conditions, such as cloth and cushions. Furthermore, he has not the incentive to outstrip Falkiner, this match not being included in the championship round. Rightly or wrongly, Lindrum, with the exeent’on of one or two mate lies against Smith lost, season, .was invariably restrained. WRh the,.tournament on, a new basis, there is, every likelihood that.Lindrum’s handicap,, if he strikes real form, will, .prove .no handicap at all. England’s chief hope is Davis, who. ranks with .McConachv. LIN DRUM’S EASY WIN. / LONDON, September. 27.
