TO-DAY'S lawn bowls programme-and the present weather prospects compel me to add-if any, is about as devoid of interest as any so far this season so my efforts at forecasting should be more success- ful than usual. "And that is easy", I hear a reader! rudely say!

In the third game, Spenko dropped to 167 pins and Watts secured 172, the differ- ence at this stage being only 7 pins in Spenko's favour. In the fourth game, Spenko registered a 183 and Watts 181, this giving. Spenko a nine-pins lead. In' the fifth and last game Spenko scored, .174 and Watts 166, which gave

Spenko his 17-pin margin.

Peterson for Tulsa was third highest score with 810 or an aver- age of 162 pins per game-by no means a poor showing.

Birkett for Argonauts did well to make a good 801 or 160 aver- age per game and is steadily im- proving. Borg for Tulsa was un- fortunate insomuch that he was just below the 800. He bagged 797 or an average of slightly over 159 pins per game, and I was im- pressed with his consistency, his lowest score being 144 and his highest 176. This could also be said about Peterson's bowling, his lowest being 146 and his highest 171.

The closeness in the scoring of both matches played by these teams warrants another match, so an occasion will be taken to match them again at an early date.
