THE CUE HAS BEEN FITTED WITH A SMALLER TIP THAN ORIGINAL AND HAS BEEN TAPERED TO MATCH – THE TOP 8" OF THE CUE IS SLIGHTLY LIGHTER IN SHADE, HOWEVER, THIS DOES NOT DETRACT FROM HOW IT PLAYS.

In 1909, Major H. L. Fleming (who came from Scotland - possibly related to the maker) bacame the first player since the inaugural event to win the championship at his firts attempt. in fact his entry only came about by the gratest stroke of fortune. He had been stationed in Calcutta at an Indian Musketry school where he and others drew a sweep stake ticket for a horse which ran third in the Calcutta Derby. Each memebre of the syndicate profitted to the tune of £600 and was on the strenght of this that he took a trip back to England and entered the championship. The final stages of the competition were held in the Mechanics Institute Bradford which had a capacity for about 1000 spectators. During the two days play of the final match, the hall was crowded to excess and an even larger number were refused admission, but Major Fleming, undaunted by the overwhelming support for his opponent, completed an amazing win by almost 500 points. In one of the earlier heats he equalled Burt Goods Amateur record with a break of 153 made entirely from the red ball. 1909 May H. L. Fleming beat Harry Virr 2000 - 1501
