Smith's best breaks word 70, 137, 230, 08, 100 and 258, while Osmund made only two good breaks of 50 and 40.
Th
The English champlon като splendid exhibition of scoring off the red ball at the top of the table, and his potting and positioning was almost uncanny. In his two breaks of over two hundred ho scored mostly off the red, with the white lying against the top cushion. His play drew the ad- miration of the large crowd which attended.
Osmund never revealed his true form, and in fact appeared to throw aw his chances: His opponent.had | scored over 300 points before ho mado: his first break of 82.
Smith also engaged Osmund in a game of snooker at the conclusion of the billarda match.
