Spenko The Star

In the match played on Tuesday Ernie Hearther, for the "Hy- jackers", was, top. scorer for the night, Chief Petty Officer Spenko, match with 521, and as the rules who substituted for L. Gaddi for the Daredevils, was the Star of the competition call for only three games to be played in the Bowler for his side. He netted a preliminary rounds, his average useful 905 and the feature of his worked out at almost 174 pins persistent bowling, his lowest for the bowling was his wonderfully con-' game; he was very consistent, as he always, is, and he made 173, five games being 175 and his high- est 189-his scores were 177, 189, 172, 176.

175, 183, and 181. This score help ed very materially in the victory for his team.

Waller and Williams, for the "Hyjackers", did not do very well at all, probably due to the fact Landolt for the Daredevils was that both players were compara- als below his usual but his C23 tively new to the Alleys, and noor an average of 165 pins per doubt felt a little strange.

Elmy Again

Private Elmy of Royal Scots was again in the limelight 011 Sunday, when he bagged a good 224 to beat his 211 made on No- vember 4. His effort on Sunday was as follows:-a strike on his first and second frames, a spare on his third and fourth frames, a nine on his fifth frame, a strike on his sixth frame, a spare on his seventh frame, then three strikes in a row on his eighth, ninth and 10th frames, to make two more strikes with the two extra balls, his total score being 224.

This effort made him top scorer for the month, but he did not long remain in this coveted position, for Cpl. Blount of Royal Signals netted a brilliant 233 on Armistice Day, his score-sheet showing that he started off with five strikes in a row. on his first, second, third, fourth and fifth frames, then he had a bad split on his sixth frame, to make an 8 with his first ball, and 9-with his second ball. He then made a spare in his seventh and eighth frames, a strike on his ninth and 10th frames, a nine with his first extra ball and a spare with the second one, to make a total of 233.

Ewo Competition

The first of the semi-finals in the Ewo Indoor Bowling Competi- tion was played off on Tuesday. It was between the "Daredevils" and the "Hyjackers" and resulted in a win for the "Daredevils" by 247 pins.

•

Five games were played, as, ac- cording to the rules of the com- petition, five games had be to played in the Semi-Final and Final.

L. Gaddi for the "Daredevils" was unavoidably absent and the services of that old veteran bowler Chief Petty Officer F. Spenko were called upon, and as can be seen by his score he was a very useful acquisition for his team. The in dividual scores were as follows
