By "Skip"

"George Costello beat Prison Officers Club in Second Division". would be an apt headline, but not quite fair to Dal Davies, as { will show. Drawn against so sound a player as McCutcheon- especially on his own green- Costello played the game of his lifa.

Hts front men, though not bad, were being beaten by the hosts for the most part and this gave their skip plenty ja It. of work. He simply wallowed

out with drawing, driving or facing equal facility, and won by 16 shots to carry the side to a narrow victory.

on the losing Dal Davies, though side, was in fine drawing form against Bagley and he saved. I am told-by a Stanley man-fully 20 shots.

of

In the last three honds alone my informant tells me, he definitely Baved 9 shots, all by means of steady drawing to the objective. Frank Goodwin had the barest leads against Gowland right up to the 15th end, but then a count of six put the home skip on the way to a shot victory.
