BOWLING ALLEYS
By "STRIKE"
A GOOD three-game Duck Pin match, between the U.S.S. Tulsa and the Alley Team was played at the Bowling Alley on Friday last.
Only three games were played be-strike, or a couple of spares. cause most of the regular members of the U.S.S. Tulsa and also the Alley Team could not turn out owing to the exigencies of both the British and
neither bowled as well as they would as In ordinary games.
It was a very close game and the differ- ence of 23 might easily have been converted if Arculli had got in another spare and
American services.
On this occasion the Tulsa boys managed to beat the Alley Team by the narrow margin of 30 pins.

Watts for the Alley Team, was easily top scorer of the match, his bag being 333 pins or an average of 111 pins per game.
J. A. Vasko, for "Tulsa", was a very close second with 324 to his credit or an average of 108 pins per game. Both Watts and Vasko bowled
very well indeed, and had Vasko not failed un his third game he would probably have tied Watts and might have even have beaten him.
Watts made 122 in his first game, 111 in his second, and exactly 100 on his third and last game.
The average score per player per game worked out at: "Tulsa" 98 pins each; Alley Team 05 pins per player per game.
There were no fewer than eight scores of
over 100-a remarkable achievement when it is taken into con- sideration that it was only a three- game match.
Watts for Alley Team, bagged three of them, viz. 122, 111, 100, while Vasko notched two-122 and 113. Borg, for "Tulsa", made one 112 on his third game and Pierce, of the same team also scored 101 in his second game. Skiver secured a good 105 in his third game,
The scoring all round was of a par- ticularly high standard, only disap- pointment being that three games were played instead of usual five games.
On Monday there were two matches in the Singles Handicap Competition, both in the third round of the Com- petition.
ΠΟ
Before going on to describe these matches, I must admit feeling a little disappointed with the tardiness in get- ting this Competition completed; doubt the main reason for the delay 'is Volunteer services, both naval and military.
First of the foregoing matches was between veteran J. S. Landolt, and D: Hall of Royal Signals. This was in the third round of the Singles Handi- cap Competition. Landolt's handicap was plus 20 and Hall's plus 33, so the former was conceding 13 pins per game or 39 pins for the three games played. He won by the narrow mar- gin of 29 pins-almost a headache for Joe!
The individual scores were as fol- lows;-

(plus 38) 134 122 165 39 Landolt's average worked out at 183 pins per game; had he not falled on his third game this would have been about 170.
Hall of Royal Signals, did very well to finish up as close as did to his ex- perienced opponent.
·
I am of the opinion that Hall would be much better if he had a few more match games, because, ordinarily he is far more impressive than on this occasion.
The other Singles Handicap Match-also in the third round-was played on Monday between G. T. Sipitsky and M. el Arculli. Both players' handicaps were plus 50, no they both storted off level. The individual scores were as follows:-
G. T. Sipĺteky (plus 80)
M. a) Artülli (plus 50)

thought-to count two. Remedios was forced to play a heavy one which just failed. Tony Noronha was quite the outstanding player on the home side and he usually had the position when he had finished playing.
Remedios, who lost his first game of the season, was good and one felt sorry to see him go down by such a small margin as three as he had pulled up well towards the latter, were brilliant, quite apart from the finish. Both Drew and Guy, especially the head which I have mentioned. John Gill, who came in to fill a vacancy caused by the Doc Molthen 807, or an average of 174 pinaa good game against Yvanovich but another sudden Indisposition of Bob Duncan, played per game each.

In consideration of Arculli's victory over W. Gardner in the second round on June 3 --which match he won, by no less than 162 pins it was the consensus of opinion that he would gain the day against Sipitsky.
Both players are new to match games and
Peterson for Tulsa was third highest score with 839 or an average of 168 pins per game
Borg contributed his share towards the defeat of the Dare Devils by registering a very useful 795 or an average of 159 pins per game. Ismail made quite a fair score, 773 or an average of 155 pins per game, but it is hard to understand how such an accom plished and skilful player as Watts, could make only 704-the lowest score match, and probably the lowest score he has ever put up-his average being the very lowly one of 141 pins per game.

MISS NG STILL IN LEAD Miss Nancy Ng still retains the lead for ladies for Ten Pins with 211 to her credit- up to the time of writing these Jottings- and J. A. Vasko of Tulsa is still in the lead in Duck Pins for men with 141 in his bag but E. J. Moore's score of 236 for Ten Pins made on June 17, has been beaten by one of his shipmates, R. B. Klotzbier, who notched 239 on June 26.

Klotzbler's score was a particularly good effort and is worth recording, his score sheet showing that he started off with strike in his first game and a spare in his second; he failed in his third frame to make a nine but then registered seven strikes in succession and a spare with his extra two balls to make a total of 239.

-VISITORS OUTBOWLED
Eddie Sousa was all over Lockhart's four and had 10 to spare at the finish although it looked at one time as if it was going to be many more. The visitors, were being out- bowled man for man most of the time with Sousa being especially prominent.
Kowloon Football Club, who have settled down into a very sound team, secured their best result of the yeat when they beat Taikoo on all three rinks. Bill Field, oppos ed to Keown, had the biggest margin but as it was only six shots, it can be realised how tense was the game all through. AL 10 heads for instance the teams were all square, but then Kowloon gained 10 shots in the next three or four heads and retained this to the finish. Bill Simpson, for whom Walter Groves was very steady as lend, got the better of Donald Munro by five shots. but he had to fight every inch of the way, whilst Younghusband's count of four at the 20th allowed him to beat Jimmy Chalmers by a couple of shots after being in arrears most of the game. Some excellent bowling was seen on this rink with the heads chang- ing frequently.
Although they had very little to зраге Craigengower just managed to defeat the Civil Servants on the latters' green. All Lewis came back to winning form against the Hillyer after trailing for nearly half game, whilst McNeill, who was in brilliant forin again, secured a four--a good four ! should add-to preserve his unbeaten record by a singleton. Lying only one shot when he had to play his last wood, he faced out the enemy's second one as clean as the pro verbial whistle.

UNLUCKY RECORD
Dan Crawley, and Bill Way were the men of the match between Charlie Strange and Bill Way, although both Charlie Strange and Randall put up some good woods at vital times. Crawley was all over Rosario and laid the foundation for Strange's useful lead, but Way pulled up well to tle, by means of securing eight in the last four ends, Randall securing a beautiful shot on each hand to
enable his side to count three at the 20th.
SILENCE GOLDENI
What can one write of the game between Willle Hyde and Bill Hollands? True, early Ted Ramsey featured prominently, but when In the game, I made some notes in which
the losers score no few It is not kind to say much. Although the losers were weak, with Hollands the best of them, the winners all played well and would have beaten many stronger rink.
It looked as if Spary and Riddell were going to have a close game but the latter finished up strongly to win by 0 dozen shots. Bob Leigh did well as lead in this rink whilst Taylor also put up some nice
woods.
Channing had the only away win, a five to Marks at the last head reducing the mar- gin to five shots. The Police 'four were a little more consistent all through and did not seem so apt to be narrow as were the homesters.
