BOWLING.

Press Association. Christchurch, January 15. Play in the champion rink tournament was resumed this morning; Several magnificent finishes were witnessed. That between Bishop (Christchurch) and Carswell (Taieri) in which the latter snatched a victory by one point in the first round of the day being of the most sensational character. Carswell and Kilgour (Carlton, Auckland) have w*on all six games in their respective sections, and, whatever the result of to-morrow’s game may be, they are certain of places in the final for section winners. The position of most of the other leading players will be uncertain until the result of to-mor-row morning’s play is ascertained. The most noteworthy feature of today’s proceedings was the downfall of Allnut’s (lloslyn) rink, which although winning every game yesterday, failed to notch a victory to-day. A strong North Island team of D> rinks was selected to play ft South Island team on the Canterbury green on Friday (Ladies’ Day) and OO paper promises 'to afford » splendid contest for the best talent , that may be found available. It is intended, if possible, to make a start with the doubles, for which 17-1 entries have been received, on Thursday if the finals of the rink championship are sufficiently far advanced.
