The Singles Handicap Ten Pin-Com- petition is now drawing to a close; it has reached its semi-final stage, and I expect, in my next week's notes, to be able to announce the date on which the final will be played.
This competition- has been trust a very interesting one- and, judging by the speed with which it has gone along, it has been a very popular one.
On January 18. J. H Watts played: M. Talan in the, third round of the Singles Handicap Competition, and wort by the very low margin of six plns, the individuál scores being:-
J. H. Watts.472 and^ M. Talan....456 Whisbeing plus 20% handicap and Talan 12 baskileaf, Talari was conceding to Watts 8 pins per game or 24 pins for three games, therefore Talan would actually have won by 18 pins if playing level.
It was touch and go for-Walts indeed, be- cause on Talan's last frame, in the third and last game, he required only a strike to win. This he failed to accomplish, leaving No. 10 pin up, although he left it rocking, and, making a spare with his second ball, victory finished up with strike: Watts' was well deserved, for he played a good, consistent game.
HAYMES BEATS LANDOLT
On January 22, there was another game played in the Singles-Handicap Competition, (also in the third round) between M. F. L. Haymes was Haymes and J. 8. Landolt. plus 25 and Landolt plus 9, so that Landolt was conceding 18 pins per game or 48 pins for the three games.
This match resulted in the redoubtable Landolt being beaten by 43 pins, the indi- vidual scores being as follows:—
M, F. L. Haymus 536 and J. S, Landolt 493, Actually in this match Landolt won by five pins level but, having to concede 48 pins handicap, he lost by 3 pins. It was the should concensus of opinion that Landolt
have won this match, but Haymes played

In this match J. M. Elardo very kindly substituted for an absent member of the Mindanao team, and he succeeded in being top scorer for his side.
W. Michals was easily top scorer for the match with 525 or an average of 175 per game, with Al. Schreler a good second with 522 or an average of 174 per game.
