COMMENTS ON THE PLAY By Telegraph —Press Association. Christchurch, January 18. The Dominion bowling championship tournament is progressing rapidly, and despite the delay of a day and a half on account of bad weather the various games are but hall’ a day behind scheduled time. ' . . This morning saw the conclusion oi sectional play in the rinks championship, tho afternoon being devoted to posh-sectional play in both the rinks rjid pairs contests. Of a total of 124 rinks which took part in the tection play of the contest no fewer than 96 were eliminated, and those qualified to continue numbered only 28. These 28 rinks continued the post-sectional play in the afternoon, and to-morrow the' contest will lie continued, when winners will play winners and losers losers. <> In tho pairs contest eight teams took the green in the post-scctiona] play. During the course of the posriseo-

tional rink play Carswell’s rink in their game against Redpath got the green and put up a score which could not be caught during the first ten heads. Redpath played fairly well, and had the best of the game in the last three or four heads, but the Taieri players took fine care not to allow their opponents any undue opportunities. Raphael’s rink also put up a good performance against Grey on the Linwood green, although they were ultimately beaten by 25 points to 16. Half of Raphael’s score was compiled by an 1 eight on a single head. Taken as a whole, the weather conditions for play to-day were splendid. Every green in use showed the benefit of the rain which had fallen during the earlier part of the week, and the players as a whole expressed appreciation of the manner in which the g»oen had been prepared for the tournament. To-morrow the post-sectional play in the rinks, pairs, and singles contests will proceed.
