ANOTHER PENNANT ROUND.

TOP CLUBS DISPLACED. FTELEXRVILLR AND OTAHUHU. (By TRUNDLER.) I The Pennant rntnid" last Saturday lias •made tbei position very interesting for the postponed first round, to be played on March 2, for with hardly any exceptions the clubs that were high up have been brought down a little, and those that were well down have improved their position. The move towards uniformity is pronounced as to suggest that if there had been seven rounds, instead of five, all the clubs might be .almost on the. same mark at the end. This remarkable movement is clearly •shown by the subjoined table, giving the rink wins and losses last Saturday and the percentage of wins to date. The first round has >not yet been played, but .alongside the present percentage is shown the percentage, omitting decimals, at the -end of each of the three earlier rounds:— SECTION A. Club. R. W. L.

The second Rotorua tournament begins ■to-day, thirty entries taking the overflow from the> oversubscribed first tournament. These • divide nicely into sections of ten, so, three days will find the section " and the committee might wejjj-tconsider the advisability of accepting '*<mly 50 entries for the first one in future, instead of 55, so that it <also would run off in three days, instead of three day* and two rounds. Even more important, however, would "be a scheme to create more interest by letting m«r«vga-£orward for.intersection play, inste*ta."4tJlttit finding the absolute •ection wiOTtergi- -Some may think this -would hut it would usually take less ti!n> /or the time ia not derided by tthd <joalWy£;:lrat "by the played. Now it took fdjtf;,-rounds to find the winner, whereas HHirll the ties had gone forward, making seven in all, it would have taken only-three.. In fact while they are at it the committee might seriously consider ; adopting the Dominion procedure, and allow all to go forward who get as many-wins' as the lowest section winner year' it would have ibrought iJßt.'JSßt|y*.the, same seven, for no section wjijp'won w4th less than eight wins. But just imagine the excitement that wouH have prevailed on the last day if tfc&lcZnethod had been in force, for it have required Letham to lose onjejrf his games on the last day, «nd he wowkl have brought in seven more witfirrseveh wins each. These -would still, lave taken only the same number o|"xdtln4s to find the winner, four, in the last day's play woulff nave been most intense. As It was theT«?waa no interest whatever in some ST the games on the last day, as a wiit or a loss made no difference to either jpide. This is "written on the assumption that there would not be the clause limiting the qualifying rinks to those who had not more, than two losses, for a fair relation "would be that if they could liave two losses in the Dominion eight games they could have three in the RotoTua nine or ten games. Tne committee might trjf it as an experiment, in the •econd tournament next year, and see if it is popular, in addition to which it may c&use some to prefer the second tournamept, if they know there is a tetter chance to get into the finals. The centre pairs tournament will commence on Wednesday with the satisfactory entry of 64 teams. Arguments or Playing to Rules. Another regrettable incident occurred last Saturday, this time in a pennant match. The A skip drove with his last howl, putting the jack in the ditch, but before his bowl reached the ditch it •truck a member of the & rink on the ankle. A claimed the right to put his toucher where he liked, and he put it near enough to the jack to be shot. The B skip was so annoyed that he declined to play his last bowl, thus throwing away the game, as the 20th head had ended in a tie at 19 all. The subsequent argument lasted an hour or two, and experienced players were still giving their opinions yesterday. However, arguments are not miwh good, except to create bad feeling, r(td opinions do little else but add fuel to the fire. A lot of people object to rules, but rule 70 would have saved all the trouble, for it is fairly clear: "When a bowl during its •original course has passed the "jack, «nd is then burned by an opponent, the player's side may either allow it to lie where it comes to rest, or declare the head dead." Consequently B had no occasion to feel annoyed, for he should merely have invoked the rule, and demanded that A should exercise one of those two; options, seeing that A had "o right to take the action he did. The question again arises whether it is preCme„t° P wi y t0 TUIeS ° r t0 S et "P ™ Zf i m« neVer anvthi "S happens ResultsU e ° Ut ° f the ord i«ary.
