BILLIARDS TOURNEY Osmund's Brilliancy In Semi-Finals

A. J. Osmund, the Colony billiards

little champlon, had

difficulty of disposing of Pong Shiu-piu in the second semi-final match of the Senior Billiards Championship of the Colony at the Kowloon Cricket Club Jat night. Osmund won by 750 points to 433, and was roundly applauded at the conclusion of the game by the large gathering of billiards enthu- siasts,

sts. Pong was also applauded for the plucky

fight he put Starting off well, Osmund steadily guined on Pong. The victor's breaks began to mount, and following his Grst notable break of 30, he later made a brilliant break of 82. He was playing confidently, and his shots were delightful to watch, as he scored with the utmost case. Pong on the other hand was not playing as well as he can do, and made few outstanding breaks.

Up

Osmund scored breaks of 30, 37, 53, 57, 72, 82 and then cummenced another bright spell when he made another break of 82. The score at this stage was 700 to 410 in Osmund's favour, and though Pont made a recovery shortly after with a break of 27, he did little after that.

After making several small breaks, the Colony champion

scored

the 30 for victors, and was necessary warmly acclaimed. His best breaks were in

in the following order: 37, 72, 82, 53, 57, 82 and 30.

Pong made brealts of 38; 24, 31, 44 and 27.

Osmund will play against Lam Cho-chal, who defeated M. N. Raku-. sen last Tuesday, In the final match to be played next week, probably in the Club Lusitano.
