DOMINION TOURNAMENT. FOSTER WINS THE SINGLES

For Press Association. DUNEDIN, Jan. 21. The New Zealand Bowling Association’s Dominion tournament, which has now been in progress for 10 days, is well on towards completion, the singles competition being finished, while there are only three lots of players left in the rinks championship. The pairs championship is not so well advancod, but this event has been delayed to some extent owing to the fact that players engaged in it were also engaged in tho rink games, the latter receiving preference. All green winners in the pairs competition have been found and quite a number of post-section games have been decided. Two games have yet to bo played to reach the semi-final stage. The final of the singles was played by two representatives of tho Caledonian Club, W. Foster (two lives) and A. Trctheway (one life). Foster won by two points. Foster was Dominion singles champion in 1918. The rinks championship has been reduced to three, Harraway (Dune-

din), Gray (Kelburn) and Thomson (Southland), each with one life. •
