BLOUNT & CLEGGETT ESTABLISH RECORDS
By "'Strike"
Corp. H. Blount of Royal Corps of Signals has beaten all Ten Pin records in these Alleys.
I mentioned in an earlier article that Blount would be the player most likely to better the 278 record established by Cpl. H. Watts, also of the Signals, in February last year.
My confidence has been justi-¡ flod On April 30, while playing for the Alley Team against USS Tulsa, he missed the phenomenal score of 299. To secure thus total he made 11 strikes in seemston, and a nine with his last extra bl

Pagh was not at his best at any stage and the constant pressure applied by his opponent did not help in any.
Oxlade was un- orthodox in the production of all his strokes but he was effective and met with most success when at the net. Pagh was made to do a lot of running but his greater experience and cons stency enabled him to establish
his superiority after a dour struggle in the third set, and there Aas never any doubt that he would win the Inatch thereafter, although Oxlade never gave up trying.
