SECOND DAY OF TIMARU TOURNAMENT From Our Own Reporter TIMARU, December 26. One of the most trying days possible was experienced at Timaru to-day by bowlers taking part in the second day’s play of the South Canterbury Bowling Centre’s Christmas tournament. The temperature was high, and a strong northwest wind at times caused upsets. Sectional play in the pairs competition of the tournament was run off on seven greens, all of which were running fast and true. In all, 34 pairs qualified for post-sectional play, 11 with four wins, and 23 with three wins.
