EDWIN STARS CHANGE HANDS TOURNAMENT AT RAWHITI •* . | by skip. The West End team's tenure of - the Edwin Stars trophies came to an end on Saturday, when the challenging Carlton combination, in charge of Kilgour, had a fairly comfortable win. The. run of the play was closer than the scores indicated. It, was only on the last few heads that the winners gained a margin of points. The 19th head was West End's real undoing. After I. Clarke had sent the jack to t lie ditch from a good way down the green and left plenty of room for the subsequent shots, both ho and his skip failed to get near. Perry, the Carlton number Ihree got two in, as did Kilgour with two shots very close to the ditch The four points thus scored placed the game beyond doubt with two heads to g°Although Bates was lending in his best style. Cox, the West End leader, held to' his task well but he faded a little at the finish. Duncan completely over; shadowed McCarthy. Kilgour played a very fine game, while Perry was also in good form. Both Clarke and Ilardlev played their usual game, but the odds against them were too great. The next challenger is S. Sharp, Mt. Albert.
