TAURAXGA CLUB CHAMPION SINGLES The semi-finals and finals for the Tauranga Bowling Club's Champion Singles were played on Saturday and some very good bowling was seen. The semi-final between S. A. Woods and A. Bell, both one-lifers, was a very good game, but S. A. Woods won with a good margin, the score being Woods 17, Bell 11. The final game between E. P. C. Jury, the only two-lifer, and S. A. Woods, one-lifer, was very closely contested and on the 21st head they tied. On the 2 2nd head Woods was laying shot, but Jury killed it, so another head was played. After very close play Jury lay one up, the score being Jury IS, Woods 17. Jury won by one point and one life, and becomes Singles Champion for the 194 2-43 season.
