Newman twice reached the semi-final of the World Snooker Championship, in 1936 and 1946. In 1936 he reached the semi-final by default, having a bye into the last-8 stage and then his opponent, Tom Dennis had to withdraw after having an operation on his right eye.[3] Newman also played in the 1947 World Snooker Championship.
Newman died of pneumonia in June 1947.[2]
