Champion Fours.—As was anticipated the final game in this contest between Drummond, Jenkins, Roff, Jobson (s) and Emerson, Spackman, Southey, Kilgour (s) provided a splendid exhibition of bowling. Weather conditions were perfect and the green was faultless. Up to the fourteenth head the game was slightly in Jobson’s favour, his score then being 13 to Kilgour’s 11. The “Devil’s Number,” however, proved a stumbling block to Jobson’s team. Kilgour increased his score by singles until at the close of the twentieth head the board showed,the score to be 18/13 in his favour. Jobson won the last head with a single and the final result was: Kilgour 18, Jobson 14.
