DEARE AND SQUIRE.

BOWLING FINALISTS. CARLTONIAN LOSES LIFE. DOWN BY NINE POINTS. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

WELLINGTON, this day

Elimination games in the singles, pairs and rinks were played to-day when the New Zealand bowling championships were continued in perfect weather.

Roll* (Featherston) and Spearman (Sydenham) were eliminated from the eingleß tliw morning, leaving Deare (Carlton, Auckland), and Squire (HaWera) to contest the final over 21 heads. Deare then had two lives. Both winners were in fine form this morning, and had easy victories.

Playing with superb judgment throughout, Squire defeated Deare, 20—11, the game ending with two heads to play. The I>air will meet a ♦rain in the final this afternoon.

Squire began well, with four drawn g'hota in the first head, and two more counters on the fourth gave him a lead. B—l.8 —1. Deare staged a recovery with twos on the ninth, tenth and fourteenth heads, ft d .Wa sthen only two down on the board. Squire, however, was drawing with remarkable consistency, and he put the w«me beyond doubt with three on the fifteenth, and twos on the sixteenth and eighteenth. The Haw-era player showed himself to »>e a fast and accurate driver, twice "burnitig the head once when he was three rr-^'viH nat ,p,ay as >veil as he did asftlhst Rolls, frequently being a little too heavy but Squire .played like a champion and registered a well-deserved victory.
