BOWLS TOURNEY
OHAMPION PAIRS FINAL,
Tile Wellington Centre's Champion of Champions Pairs Tournament was continued 011 the Newtown Club's green yesterday afternoon in perfect.weather. The first play of the day was the continuation of the unfinjsped game between Lower Hutt (Keir and Hendrv) and Wellington (Dixon and Hill). When play ceased 111 the dark 011 Wednesday evening, the score was 17—11 in mitt s favour, with three heads to go. 111 the remaining heads yesterday tho Wellington pair were only able to add a couple of points, whilst Hutt scored another 3, making the final score: Hutt, 20; Wellington, 13. The filial game between Hutt (Keir and Hendry) and, Newtown (Sexton and Wylie) ended in a win for the latter pair, the score being 22—15. The game 'was an excellent ono throughout. Both the leads showed rattling good form, Sexton in particular winning tho admiration of the bank for his fine drawing capacity, whilst "Jock" Keir played well enough both 011 Wednesday and yesterday to be regarded as a discovery. Hutt led for the first few heads, but once Newtown got 111 front tliey never lost' that, position again, thanks to accuracy of play and sound generalship. Both pairs were very heartily cheered at the' conclusion of the (?ame, and in the course of a happy little reunion in the pavilion the ■Newtown Club was - congratulated on its third championship win 'in 1 three weeks. ■ .
The win of Sexton and Wylie is a moritorious one, that reflects credit on the club they represent—Newtown—as both players figured in the rink last week which won the Rink Championship of the district. By their win in the Pairs, the club has "done the "hat trick," winning the championship Singles (J. Brackenridge), rinks (Prince, Spiers, Sexton, and Wylie), and tho pairs (Sexton and W.rlie). The club's record is further enhanced this season by its representatives—Davis (2), Duff, and Laughton—having won the rink championship at the Dominion Association's tournament at Christohurch last month.
