Davis v. Inman
A commentary during play in the handicap competition by Willie Smith from Thurston's Hall
Listeners are to hear a commentary on the opening game of this evening's session in the seventy-one-game match being played by Davis and Inman this week at Thurston's in the Daily Mail Gold Cup Tournament that was organised by Tom Webster. Davis is world snooker champion and plays from scratch. Inman has the very generous handicap of 45 points a game.
This is the fourth year of the tournament. In its first two years it was confined to billiards,. changing over to snooker last year. Up to this year it was a sealed handicap, but now the handicap is disclosed on the marking board.
The tournament began on September 27 and is due to finish on January 29 next year. It is hoped to broadcast a commentary on one of the games played between Lindrum and Newman on December 13, and on one between Davis and Lindrum on January 24.
