Snooker Final
Joe Wins 14th Title
LONDON; May (Reuter).—Joe Davis playing snooker is perhaps one of the greatest sporting attractions of mo- dern times, Enthusiastic followers of the game who packed Thurston's Hall, London, were vociferous in their admiration of the manner in which, after a comparatively lean period, he displayed his best form at a critical moment to beat his 26 years-old brother Fred by one game in the final of the world professional snooker championship, and win the title for the 14th successive year.
It was only fitting after three days of grand snooker that the champion should decide the issue in his own favour by winning the vital frame with a century break.
For five frames, in the last session Joe was struggle to maintain ha slight lead, and Pred was playing so
well that the defeat of the champion appeared to bo a distinct: pozability, Then Joe, in the sixth game, made is great effort, Picking reds with unerring judgment, and leaving the due-ball in exactly the right positions -for-subsequent strokes, Joe built up a commanding lead.
