BOWLING TOURNAMENT.
A SPLENDID FINISH. NEWTOWN DEFEATED NAPIER BY A POINT. (By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, last night. The second game in the semi-final round of the Inter-club Championship was played this morning, and was won by Evans’ Napier team, which defeated Mowlen’s Palmerston rink by 21 to 19.
The final then took place between Newtown (Nancarrow, Astill, Demlen, and Price) and Napier (Bristy, South, Yates, and Evans). The scoring was very slow, and at the nineteenth head Napier had registered only 13 and Newton 14. On the twentieth head Napier got in two, one of them due to the Newtown skip taking out his own second shot, so that Newtown required one to tie and two to win. When the skips went down Newtown was lying in the required two, but Evans sent in a firm one and got the shot. Price roplied with a nice draw, carrying the jack and lying one, and as neither of them made any further alteration the head ended in a draw. Another head was played, and when number three had finished, Newtown was lying one, the result of a lucky shot by Price. The Napier skip failed to alter the state of affairs, and Newtown won by a point.
