At night Davis increased a break 0: 901 (unfinished) to 1177, and so became the first player to make four-figure run under the revised balk-line rule,
Davis made quick progress in the early part of the play, but the dimculties of the balk-line stroke were emphasized once again. To begin with Davis left a single balk, and then a double balk, Newman failing to score at his first two visits to the table. With two short runs of cannons Davis scored quickly and played very well to niake a break of 198. When the break had reached 185 Davis play. ed for the lr.e stroke by potting, the red ball to the top pocket, but the cue ball hit the shoulder of the middle pocket and remain- ed out of balk, Davis never really recovered from his troubles. When at 198 he played to make the lina stroke for the second time he pat- ted the red ball safely enough but the object white was in the way. and a cannon prevented the cuc ball from travelling more than a foot or so from the top cushion..
A HIGH-SCORING MATCH It is probable that this will be one of the highest scoring games in the tournament. Both players make free use of the close-cannon method of scoring, and this is the fastest method of all Newman made a short run, but then mis- judged a long loser when he had scored 90, and Davis maintained a high standard of play by making a break of 267.
Scoring by all-round play, Davis ald not experience any trouble this time in making the ine stroke. but, as so often happens, he left the balls placed rather badly. This is the effect a rather specula- tíve stroke is always liable to have. Davis" overcame his dificul tles until he left the balls in a line and nearly touching across the table, near the right side cushion, and his attempt to make
a difficult cushion cannon was hot successful,
In a match between such ac- can complished players neither afford to miss many chances. Newman was a little unlucky in that the balls ran badly for him on the next two occasions. His failure to make a long jenny left an opening for Davis to increase his lead with a break of 101, and when Newman failed to make the difficult two-cushion, cannon Davis tave a good display. Davis con- on this occasion on centrated close-cannen play, making runs of 80, 63, and 42 of these delicate strokes, but he was unfortunate to soft screw miscue in playing a loser when the break had reached 393.
