BOWLING ALLEY JOTTINGS

By. "STRIKE"

There were some really interesting and well-contested" matches at the Bowling alleys in the course of the week.“

precedented number of bad "splits" lift up for all players, there being no fewer -than-64-“splits throughout-the-match...

Ten Pin bowlers will agree with me that to get "split" after "split" is very dishear tening, not to say discouraging, and it could run of "splits" was making itself felt 'on' the players; as can be seen by the low scores 'made; however, the match was very cheerful one, and I am sure - every bowler went out for all he could get, irres- pective of the bad joss,

The first was between the "Dare Devils" and U.S.8. Black Hawk, a five-game Ten Pin match played last Thursday. The "Dare Devils" are a new combination of Ten Pinat once be seen that this extraordinary "ba" bowlers, made up of such redoubtable Ten Pin bowlers as Corp. H. Blount and Corp. J. H. Watts, of Royal Corps of Signals, Joe Harvey, of U.S.S. Asheville famé, and one old friend, D. M. Keplinger of U.S.S. Min- danao.

This game," resulted in a win for "Dare Devils" by 205 pins.

H. Blount, for "Dare Devils", was easily the top scorer for the match with 913 pins or an average of 183 pins. Had he made any strike he would undoubtedly haye been entitled to the two free books of tickets awarded by the management for "the score of 950 in a five game match,

ود

The second high score was made by H. R. Johnson, of "Black Hawk", who made 849 or an average of 170 pins per game.

".

The scoring all-round was of a fairly high standard, although it is strange that there was only one score of 200 registered, this being made by H. Blount on his second game, exactly 200.

The average: per game per player for the "Dare Devils" worked out at 181 pins per player and for the "Black Hawk," 151 pins per player per game.

OFF FORM

J. H. Watts and D. M. Keplinger, for the "Dare Devils," were much below their usual form, the former player only making 741 and the latter 763. It is worthy of note that both players very rarely bowl much below 800 at any time..

If Farmer or Netter, for the "Black Hawk", had bowled just a little better there would have been much closer finish. How ever, I would like to see the "Black Hawk" in action in the near future again.

The much discussed match between the Champs and the Chief Petty Officers" of U.S.S. Asheville came off last Friday and resulted in a win for the Champs by 299 pins. Individual scores were as follows:-

CHAMPS-- ASHEVILLE-G.P.O's. Ernie Hearther.. 837 G. S. Edwards.. 767 Dick Venezia.... 790 J. C. Summers., 738 Chas Miller..

G. C. Merkel.. 092 E. L. Wood. 857

Again in this match there was only one score of 200, which, was notched by Chas. Miller for the Champs; he managed to make exactly 200 on his second gan.e.

Ernie Hearther was top scorer with 837 to his credit or an average of 167 pins per game, and no other player reached 800... The feature of this match was the un-

I was rather surprised that Cpl. Watts did not do much better than he did; no-one can say he suffers from stage fright. In the case of Gunner Hanley there is little doubt (Continued on Page 22)

BETTER SENTIMENT ON STOCK MARKET

London, To-day. Kaffrs maintained a good disposi- tion on the Stock Exchange yester- day and movements again favoured holders. In other directions a better sentiment prevailed after initial dull- ness. Gilt-edged securities met re- newed support while the recent sag- ging of industrials was checked by some. bear covering. Brazilian bonds weakened but other foreign issues were mainly steady. Rubber shares were helped by good dividend an- nouncements.
