Horace Lindrum v. Willie Smith
A commentary during play, by Joe Davis from Thurston's Hall
When he describes this afternoon's snooker match between Horace Lindrum and Willie Smith in the Daily Mail Gold Cup Tournament, Joe Davis will be giving his first broadcast commentary. He will be reversing the usual order of things. for Willie Smith , whose play he will be describing, has many times broadcast descriptions of Davis's play.
Davis. who has been world snooker champion for twelve years, and world billiards champion for nine, has had many battles with the Australian wizard, Horace Lindrum , nephew of the great Walter.
Horace is regarded as next best player to Davis, though he will have a difficult nut to crack in veteran Willie Smith , who is still one of the hardest men in the game to beat. A week or two ago Davis made the world's record snooker break of 138. He has won the Daily Mail Tournament for the last two years.
