Thus all German billiards athletes were again allowed to participate in international championships. (German Billard Newspaper)

The world championship in Mulhouse started again with 10 participants. Some excellent performances were already achieved in the preliminary round. After the elimination of the last group, the main tournament began. Here, too, as in the preliminary round, the Spaniard Juan Butrón turned out to be the best free game player. With just one defeat he was the world champion he deserved. He improved the series record of 1386, set last year by Jean Albert from France, to the new record of 1497 . As in the previous year, Joaquin Domingo took second place. Cornelius van Vliet, who took part for the first time, was responsible for the first Dutch medal. The German world champion from 1933 Walter Joachim finished fourth.
