CENTRE BOWLING

INTER-SECTION PLAY . COMMENCES TWENTY-TWO TEAMS The Auckland" Bowling Centre’s Christmas tournament advanced another stage this morning when intersection play commenced at 8.45 on the Carlton green. The conclusion of the section play on Saturday evening saw 22 rinks go forward to contest the second of the eliminating series. As in the section play keen competition is anticipated before the semi-finals and finals are reached. Carlton green was in splendid order, and playing very true. Following the uncertain weather conditions experienced during the past few days, bright sunshine came as a welcome change. In tho first round this morning there were several very closely contested games, and spectators were rewarded with good bowling 1 to interest them. The game between E. B. Wright (Onehunga) and C. Muston (Auckland) was particularly interesting. With one hpad to go, both had 14 on the board, but on the last head, in which some excellent play was seen by the leads and skips, the Onehunga rink took the garpe by a point. The skips taking part are as follow: B * ri Sli t (Onehunga), W. Best (Ponsonby) a. E. Layland (Dominion Road). W. MacCullay (Grey Lynn). W. £ (Carlton), I. Clarke (West End) LI.
