AMATEUR BILLIARDS CHAMPIONSHIP
Press Association. WELLINGTON, Sunday. In the amateur billiards championship match yesterday, E. J. Morrison (Auckland), had a hard row to hoe when he met A. Freeman (Wellington). The latter had all the running luck and missed little. Morrison struggled against adversity and made up arrears and the players were fairly even until they were nearing the 500 mark. Freeman left the balls safe and Morrison, instead of being cautious, played risky shots and left a good position from which Freeman scored freely. In the last stage Freeman put on 180 while Morrison scored 40. Freeman’s best breaks were 30, 42, 27, 41, 25, 61. Morrison’s were 41, 27, 34, 29, 30, 33, 30. In the evening Tucker (Federal) met Fowke, a young Wellington player with nice touch and real skill, but lacking in experience. Tucker, a seasoned championship player, won easily, the scores being Tucker, 666; Fowke, 376.
