CHRISTMAS BOWLING

WHITTLE AND WRIGHT CONTEST FINAL GOOD PLAY AT CARLTON TTIO semi-finals of the inter-section play of the Auckland Bowling Centre’s Christmas tourney were played at the Carlton green this morning, and the final this afternoon. In the semi-finals, Whittle played Carter and Parsons opposed Wright. The Wright-Carter game produced some fine bowling in a fight all the way. Parson took one on the first head, but Wright scored a three in the next. Parson then took one and Wright two in the next. On the fourth head Parsons drew level, the score being five all. One to Wright was followed by three to Parsons and on the 10th head the players were level, with nine all. It was interesting play and each good shot was greeted by loud applause from the gallery, which followed the play closely. On the lltli head Parsons scored one, but a three in the next gave Wright the lead. A three to Parsons on the 13tli changed the position and he added one, two and one on the next three heads, Wright scoring a brace on the 17th, the scores then being 17—15 in Parsons’s favour. Wright drew level on the next head and took the remaining three, the final score being 22 —17. The game between Whittle and Carter was not so interesting. On the first three heads Whittle scored 10, Carter opening the score with one on the fourth head. Whittle was never troubled. On the 13tli head Whittle had scored 18 to Carter’s 8, and on the 18th head the score board showed 26—10. The game finished on the 20th head, the scores being Whittle 27, Carter ’ll.

CANADIAN BOWLERS CONTESTS AT WHANGAREI From Our Own Correspondent WHANGAREI, Tuesday. The liungarei bowling green was the scene of some fine . exhibitions of bowling this afternoon, when North Auckland met the Canadian visiting bowling team in the first representative match of the tour. The greens were in good order, although light rain had fallen during the morning. In the early stages of the game, it appeared as if the visitors would run out comfortable winners, but by steady play, the northern side had gained an advantage when the 15th head was reached and from then on the result was never in doubt, the North Auckland team finally winning by a margin of 48 points. The result was received by the northern supporters with great enthusiasm.
