The Scorers
H. Waiter
1836
Ernie Hearther, for the "Hy- jackers", was top scorer for the match with 521, and as the rules of the competition call for only three games to be played in the preliminary rounds, his average worked out at almost 174 pins per game; he was very consistent, as he always is, and he made 173,
172, 176.
Waller and Williams, for the "Hyjackers", did not do very well at all, probably due to the fact that both players were compara- tively new to the Alleys, and no doubt felt a little strange.
Parsons for the "Termites" was top scorer for his team with a fair 390 or 130 pins per game but I have seen him do much better than this,
Elmy Again
Private Elmy of Royal Scots was again in the limelight on Sunday, when he bagged a good 224 to beat his 211 made on No- vember 4. His effort on Sunday was as follows:--a strike on his first and second frames, a' spare on his third and fourth frames, a nine on his fifth frame, a strike on his sixth frame, a spare on his seventh frame, then three strikes in a row on his eighth, ninth and 10th frames, to make two more strikes with the two extra balls, his total score being 224. This effort made him top scorer for the month, but he did not long remain in this coveted position, for Cpl. Blount of Royal Signals netted a brilliant 233 on Armistice Day, his score-sheet showing that he started off with five strikes in a row, on his first, second, third, fourth and fifth frames, then he had a bad split on his sixth frame, to make an 8 with his first ball, and 9 with his second ball. He then made a spare in his seventh and eighth frames, a strike on his ninth and 10th frames, a nine with his Arst extra ball and a spare with the second one, to make a total of 233.
Ewo Competition
The first of the semi-finals. in the Ewo Indoor Bowling Competi- tion was played off on Tuesday. It was between the "Daredevils" and the "Hyjackers" and resulted in a win for the "Daredevils" by 247 pins.
In
Five games were played, as, ac- cording to the rules of the com- petition, five games had bo to played in the Semi-Final and Final.
L. Gaddi for the "Daredevils" was unavoidably absent and the services of that old veteran bowler Chief Petty Officer F. Spenko were called upon, and as can be seen by his score he was a very useful acquisition for his team. The in- dividual scores were as follows:- “Daredevils' "Hyjackers" F. Spenko :: 905 Ernio Hearther 994 *H. Blount 806 Doo Molthan 105

The top score for the match was bagged by Hearther for the Hy- Jackers with a brilliant 994 pins, or an average of almost 100, an-! 'other six pins would have made him 1.000 with an average of 200 pins per game; there was no doubt that Hearther bowled Uke one in- spired for he registered three scores of over 200 out of his five games, a good 208 "on his first name, a 210 on his third geme and 213 on his fifth game, and

Spenko The Star : In the match played on Tuesday night, Chief Petty Officer Spenko, who substituted for L. Gaddi for Bowler for his side. He netted a the Daredevils, was the Star useful 905. and the feature of his bowling was his wonderfully con- sistent bowling, his lowest for the five games being 175 and his high- est 180-his scores were 177, 189, 175, 183, and: 181. This score help- ed very materially in the victory for his team..
