RINK CHAMPIONSHIP. AUCKLAND TEAM SELECTED. Tile Auckland Bowling Club is the first to announce the rink to represent it in. the rink championship -of • the Auckland Centre, Following the usual custom, this club selected six rinks, and these played on the two-life system, to decide which should represent the club. The final was plaved yesterday, when H. Grocott, D. Campbell, L. J. Keys and A. J. Parker (two lives) defeated M. Walker's rink (one life) by a (substantial margin, after the latter had defeated K. S. Macicy's rink, to decide who should meet Parker in the final.- It. may be noted that it was Parker who also gave Walker his first loss, when they met in the first round. > Some clubs hold no competition to find their representative rinlc, the match committee selecting them without any play, but those who are intending to' play it off will probably haye plenty, of time, as it is unlikely that the tournament will be held as early as usual this year, January 31.
