ODD SHOT DECIDES LAWN BOWLS SINGLES
CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH ON 26TH
WATERTON AND WAY IN GREAT STRUGGLE
YESTERDAY'S RESULTS
While yesterday's cleven matches in the second round of lawn bowls singles championship produced no very great upsets, some of the encounters were very kechly contested, and bow- ling on the average attained a high standard.
Tightest mutch
was that at the
Civil Service Cricket Club where D. W. Waterton beat W. K. Way 21- 20 on the 20th head.
The playera
were 20-all on the
was n
25th, and the there
most
fascinating struggle to nitain supre- macy on the last hend.
Both competitors sent down some extremely clever woods. Waterton Kucceeded in Jaying two with an effective back wood should the head be disturbed, Way had planted three good loking woods at the rear of the head and he naturally endeavoured to curry the jack. He succeeded in trailing it with a fine delivery, but unfortunately for him it unly carried the jack to Waterton's back wood and gave him the necessary count for the match,
L. D. Skinner played consistent bowls to beat J. M. Jack 21-13 after 25 heads, and this can be ranked as one of the best performances of the day.
A. E. Contes, Colony champion was given a no match by P. E. Knight
