SIGHTLESS BILLIARDS...

Of all the wonders of sport none is more astonishing than that a man, who has lost his sight, 12 should be able to continue to play billiards. Ex Sergt. Major Shawl, ...239 late of the "Princess Pat's" Canadian Regiment, who was blinded in the war, makes his breaks of 10 and 12 in a truly remarkable way. "When Shis w first returned to the game after losing his sight he had to feel the ball with his hands to locate their position, but by developing a new billiards sense he is now able to follow their movements on the table, partly by keeping the picture of the situation before 4the shor is played on his mind,-
