The Early Frames
Davis, who had been ranked the world number one for two years, and would remain in that position for another five, was strong favourite going into the event. He whitewashed Taylor in the first session and won the first of the second session to lead 8–0, before Taylor won the ninth frame on the pink. Taylor then won six of the seven frames to trail only 7–9 overnight.
Going into the final session, he won two of the first three frames to trail 8–11, before he levelled the match at 11–11. Davis won the next two frames on the final black to lead 13–11, before Taylor draw level at 15–15. Davis then won the next two frame to lead 17–15 again, before Taylor draw level at 17–17 and forced the deciding frame.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or frames:
“It is so very late that we
May call it early by and by. Good night.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“... though it is by no means requisite that the American women should emulate the men in the pursuit of the whale, the felling of the forest, or the shooting of wild turkeys, they might, with advantage, be taught in early youth to excel in the race, to hit a mark, to swim, and in short to use every exercise which could impart vigor to their frames and independence to their minds.”
—Frances Wright (1795–1852)
