BOWLING

NELSON CLUB SEASON CLOSED ON SATURDAY COMPETITIONS COMPLETED | j The bowling season closed on Saturday on the Nelson Club's green with a friendly “roll up.” The green was heavy, and Ihe fact that only one player appeared in flannels was evidence of doubtful opportunity for play. The competitions have now all been finalised. The Jacka Pairs final ended in favour of J. E. Hume and A. C. Rout <s). When play ceased on the previous Saturday. St. John required five and Rout ten, the odds being in favour of the former. On resuming Rout and his partner were still in a losing position as the game progressed.
