The Asheville Engineers, having beaten the Asheville First Divi- sion by 141 pins on October 29, a return match was played off on Friday, and again resulted in an extraordinarily close win for the Asheville Engineers by 12 pins only. The individual scores were as follows:--

As can be seen, there was nothing in it and it was certainly a close shave for the Engineers. A margin of 12 pins of a total, score of 2,100 odd for each team, is most unusual.

The scoring, generally, was -quite-fair-but inconsistent. Wood for Engineers was the only scorer of over 200, making a brilliant 211 on his fifth game.

Wagner of First Division fol- lowed up close behind Wood for second high score. He just failed to reach 200 on his fifth game when he scored a very useful 193. Vinning made a good 189 in his fourth game, but failed badly in his second game to make a lowly 120.

Sabo and Harvey for Engineers and Wagner for First Division were all below par.

We have two new 200 Club Members In the persons

of Master Gunner Cooper of Royal Artillery, who scored a brilliant 212 on Saturday, and Pte. M. Elmy of Royal Scots who almost equalled this score on Monday with a very good 211 pins. Cooper's score-sheet shows that he started off with four strikes in a row, followed by three spares in his fifth, sixth and seventh frames; a strike in his eighth frame; a nine in his ninth frame, a strike in his 10th frame, and nine with the two extra balls.

Elmy's effort was quite as good. He started with a strike on his first frame, a spare on his second- frame, then four strikes in a row, a spare in his seventh frame an 8 on his eighth- frame, a strike on his, ninth frame and a spare on his 10th frame, finishing up with the extra ball to make a 7.

Both players are to be congra- tulated on these fine efforts, and have been presented with the 200's Club Silver Badge,
