ODD SHOT DECIDES LAWN BOWLS SINGLES CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH ON 26TH HEAD

WATERTON

AND WAY

IN GREAT STRUGGLE

YESTERDAY'S RESULTS

While

yesterday's cloven matches in the second round of lawn bowls singles championship produced no very great upsets, some of the encounters were very keenly contested, and bow- ling on the average attained a high standard.

Tightest match

was that al. the Civil Service Cricket Club where D. W. Waterton bent W. K. Way 21- 20 on the 26th head.

The players

were 20-ail on the 25th, and the there was a most fascinating struggle to attain supre- macy on the last head,

Both competitors sent down some: extremely clever woods. Waterton succeeded in laying two with 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 carry the jack. He succeeded in trailing it with a fine delivery, but unfortunately for him it only carried the Jack to Waterton's back, wood and gave him the necessary" countį 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.
