Breaks And Match Records
The three-figure breaks table and the record of matches,
initiated by” The Sporting Life “some four or five years ago,
have made their appearance for this season. It will be noted that
(up to the 12th inst.) George Gray heads both tables, as was
generally anticipated following his remarkable series of huge
breaks off the red ball.
