McCONACHY'S CHANCE FOR SNOOKER TITLE
LONDON, Jan. 8. Fred Davis, Sidney Smith and Horace Lindrum are joint 3 to 1 favourites for the snooker championship, with McCcmachy 4 to 1. McConachy's chance looks as atractive as any, says the Daily Mail's sports editor. No player could take the championship more seriously than the poker-faced New Zealander, who is I'unning into grand form. He chalked up two more snooker centuries, namely 103 and 123, at the week-end, making four since he arrived. If, as some say deprecatingly, "they were only exhibition games," tlie reply is that McConachy plays •exhibitions with the same seriousness ar. a match. His eontrol of the cue ball is super.
