Clare O'Donnell was a Canadian snooker player.
Biography edit
Canadian final v Polloc. COD from Toronto[1] Clarence; 3-3 best f 7[2]
Ontario pro snooker champion[3]
H Lindrum book p/76
Everton HSBill
"confines activities solely to the multi-ball game for the simple reason, in his own words, he hits the cue-ball too strongly to ever make a success at billiards"[4] "has a special habit of his own. He plays with terrific speed and runs round the table for each succeeding shot as though he were on a time limit. To save time, he holds the chalk in the cup of his left hand and bridges over it. This enables him to fire and chalk-up in practically the one action. He is re¬ puted to be a very fine player but was no match for Horace Lindrum when they met during March. The Australian champion was so far ahead at the end of the first day that Clare decided to call it a day and forget to keep his appointment."[5]
hard hitter[6]
