Last Minute Win
Though the score of 21-13 would indicate that A. Moreton had matters more or less his own
way against A. J. Coelho, such was not the case. The match Was won over the last three heads only.
Mareton opened the scoring with a single and steadily increased his lead until on the 10th end the score in his favour was 10-4. Here, in a scoring streak that stretched over five heads −−−1, 2, 1, 1, 2-Coelho gained a one shot lead on the 15th head
Moreton's 3 on the succeeding head, however, set Coelho back again, but the latter struggled to level term
ain at 13-ull on the 18th head. A 2 on the 19th put Moreton into a lead of that margin, but the game was not over until the succeeding head when Moreton counted 3 and left himself requiring only three to win. A one and a 2 on the 21st and 22nd heads ended the game 21-13.
HOLLAND WINS
J. E. Noronha scored on only four of the 14 heads that were required by A. M. Holland to win 21-5. Holland drew consistently well and there was never any doubt as to who would emerge the winner.
