BILLIARDS RECORD

Ponsford's 137 Break At Y.M.C.A.

IN HANDICAP TOURNEY.

A

new billard record was stablished Inst night, at the Y. M. C. A., Salisbury Road, when S. Ponsford, playing in the 150 up handicap tourna- ment against E. F. Selk, made a break of 137 in forty min- utes.

Ponsford started off with 75 against his score, but had soon settled down, playing steady bil- Hards to wipe out his handicap, and make the break to give him the game.

Selk went to the table on five oc- casions and made 37.
