WHAT'S IN A NAME?

CLUB OR CHAMPION FOURS? BOWLING CLUB DISCUSSION. Confusion which had arisen between the club and champio'n four competitlons provoked a short discussion, "at last evening's meeting of the Rotorua Bowling Club, when a member raised a question as to what had eventuated from the club fours. It was then explained that two names had been applied to the one eompetition which was described as the club fours in the season's programme and as the champion fours in the annual report. Mr. George Mason, said that as a new member, he would like to know what had happened in regard to the club fours. He knew that a halfcrown fee had been collected from members in connection with this eompetition, but personally -he did not know either who had won the eompetition or what had ' happened to the half-crowns. The president, Mr. A. W. Downer, said that the eompetition referred to by Mr. Mason was listed in the programme, and the result was given in the report. Mr. Mason pointed out, however, that the eompetition mentioned by Mr. Downer was the champion fours and not the club fours. After some discussion, the seeretary, Mr. W. W. P. Hall, said that apparently some confusion had arisen; actually the eompetition listed in the programme as the club fours was the same thing as the champion fours. A total Qf'£ll 5s had been collected in half -crown fees for this eompetition, and this amount, less 10 per cent. as decided by the comjnittee, had been divided among the four gentlemen whose names were given in the annual report as the winners of the champion fours. Affer some further discussion, Mr. Mason said that he did not desire to press the point uriduly, but he thought that the position should be made clear and the rules in connection with this eompetition revised.
