THREE FOULS FROM ONE STROKE
Dundee Courier, Friday 21 January 1938
SIDNEY SMITH’S FREAK SHOT
THREE FOULS FROM ONE STROKE.
Sidney Smith had an extraordinary shot which yielded three fouls in his Gold Cup snooker match with Melbourne Inman at Thurston’s, London, yesterday.
In trying to smash the pyramid he struck his ball so hard that it jumped over the reds, came off the top cushion at an angle still without touching a ball, hit his cue, which he carelessly rested on the table, and then tucked itself in behind the yellow.
So he committed three fouls—failed to touch a red, hit the cue ball twice, and laid a snooker without previously touching an object ball.
