CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNEY.

RINKS FINISH QUALIFYING ROUNDS.

SECTION WINNERS. Yesterday was an interesting day in connection with tho rink matches in the Northern Bowling: Association's championship tourney, for it determined tho winners of six sections and showed who wonld have to play off in.the other three. The chief trouble experienced came from the rather disconcerting wind, the greens generally playing fairly well in view of the rain tho previous day. Tho six rinks which have qualified to take part in tho finals are as under Section A.—Freeth, F. Laurenson. Brunskill. Bell (Wellington). Section B.—Smith. Mowlem, Malcolm, Pickering (Palmerston). Section C. O'Reilly, Roach. White, Land (Hastings). Section D.—Martin, Duff, Pollock, Wylio (Near town). Section E.—Davidson, F. Hendry, Hollardj W. Hendry (Hutt). Section F. —R. Lambio. McHardy, W. Lombie. Mason. (Pihama). In the other sections there are ties, tho rinks occupying this position being? Section G.—Blundell, Mayer, G. Brown, Churchward (Wellington); Phillpotte, Baillie. Fisher (Carterton); White, Lawrie, Wilson, Kilgour (Carlton). Section H.—Haydon, H, Nash. Young, J. A. Nash (Palmerston); M. Casey, Pascoe, Baildon, Y. Casey (Grey Lynn). Section J.—R. M. Brackenridgo. J. M. J 'i Braokenridgo. John Brackonridge, James Brackenridgo (Newtown); Cohen, Martin. Hill, Lock (To Hiwi), The ties aro to he played off to-morrow morning and tho finals are all to be finishecNby the evening. They will bo drawn for to-night. SOME SPECIAL INCIDENTS. A feature of the play in Section. A was the collapso of Boatson's Hastings team, winch was beaten in every match yesterday after a fairly successful career previously. There was also an exciting match in the section between Norwood (Victoria) and Young (Pctone). The .teams tied on tho lost head, Norwood yrlniiing in the play-off by three points. The Wellington rink, skipped by 8011, had an easy victory over the Potono men *ultdwf'Young, and had an exciting contest next round with Mercer (Mount ■BdenX They got away with a spurt of 16 to their opponent 6 on the fast and tricky green, but then Mercer, by a wucccarion of heads, crept up until, on. the nineteenth head, he was lending by one point. On tho twentieth head Mercer was lying 2, when Bell, by a mag* mificent drawing shot, took the jock to hifl own and got a 3, Eventually the iWSllinsrfon team won by 21—17. HerwatPe Pahiatua team deserve spe,<dal mention for their play in Section A throughout the tourney. They showed a particular liking for the faster greens. And had hard luck in not finding their '■way into tho finals. Indeed, they piayed a sterling game throughout, and only finished ono behind the leading § team, •which they defeated rather easily on ■the first day.

A surprising reversal of form was displayed by Nash's Palmerston North rink on the Thorndon preen, yesterday. In its first seven games it van uniformly ■.victorious, and a clean run through wag generally anticipated for it. However, on the eighth round the unexpected happened. and Nosh was beaten clean out of sfeEt by a team which had not previously done anything remarkable. The ■uncertainty of bowls could hardly have been exemplified better. Nash, who was playing with Jackson (Stratford) gradually got further and further behind until on the nineteenth head the score against him was22B,6 —8, and then, apparently disgusted. he abandoned the game. In any case."it would have been impossible to make up the leeway in the two heads remaining to bo played. Nash was beaten again in the next round by Casey (Grey Lynn), with whom bo tied for first place in the section. In Section B, which was located at Wellington yesterday, the chief interest was centred in the progress made by Saywell (Feilding) and Hendry (Hutt), both of whom started the day with five wins to credit. Opportunity of watching them together was provided in the first round of the day, as in it they wore drawn to meet each other. A most interesting match resulted. At first Hendry lagged behind, but after a while got to work and pulled up level —18 all—on the twentieth head. The twenty-first bead was left to the skips to settle, but their first bowls were both on the strong side, Hendry then drew a pretty shot just in front of the jack, and, as Saywell's bowl in response was narrow, book the game by one point only. In the nest round Hendry mot Dud-1 /oy> .(O.paaako) and was again closely

watched owing to hif? prominent position. General surprise was felt when bo was defeated by 21 —18. as it was only Dudley's second win of the tournament. Saywcll. however, won his match, and wa«s once more level with the Hutt man. Thus tho interest rose again, but in the ninth round Saywell was defeated by Wakeman. while Hendry's victory over Armitage left him winner of his section. Leighton (To Hiwi) fell away rather badly yesterday and was defeated three times running after going through the two first days without a reverse. Bull (Napier) beat him very soundly on tho last round by 27—17. His first and only win of tho tournament was secured by Leech (Westport) yesterday, when he defeated Crane (Wellington) by 10 —13. A tie occurred in the Lock (Te Hiwi)Brackenridge (Newtown) match on the Wellington green yesterday morning, two bowls (one for each side) iust touching the kitty. Tho umpire gave it 'no score." The match provided a very interesting finish, after being closely contested right through. When tho last head was started the scores stood even at 16, and when Hill, To Hiwi's No. 3, came to his last bowl, Brackenridgo was lying ‘1- Hill, however, drew the shot in good style, and- Brackenridgo's only chance of winning was to drive at the shot bowl and send it clean out of the way. This ho accomplished amid hearty applauso. RINKS* RECORD. Wyllie's i© the only,rink of the ninety which has gone right through without a defeat, all his wins being fairly comfortable ones. The full record of every skip competing is shown, in the following tables: —

Some of the officials charged with the duty of telephoning results to headquarters, the Wellington Club's pavilion, are not always as careful as they might bo in giving their scores, with the result that tho press representatives have several times been supplied with misleading figures. Two such, mistakes occurred in connection with the reports appearing yesterday .morning, the scores being reversed in both instances. Pragnell (Mastorton) was given as boating Wakeman (Pahiatua) by 26 —15, and Bull (Napier) as defeating Land (Hastings) by 19—11, whereas the figures should be tho other way about in each instance. The mistakes also led to error in the compilation of the tables published by. tho "Times" yesterday. THE DETAILED SCORES.

", To-day will be fully occupied in deciding the qualifying rounds in the pairs matches, for which there are 126 entries. They are divided into twenty-one sections, and play will go on simultaneously on every accessible green in the city and suburbs. The semi-finals and finals are to be played on Saturday. BOWLING POLICY MASS MEETING OF PLAYERS. THE “OPEN DOOR” SYSTEM APPROVED. Foremost amongst matters discussed at a mass meeting of bowlers last evening at tlio Wellington Bowling Club's pavilion was the question of whether the present "open door policy" of permitting as many rinks as desired to enter for the Northern Bowling Association's annual tournaments should bo continued. In former years the number of rinks any particular club could enter for a tournament was limited to two, but this year the experiment of having no restriction is being tried. Considerable difference of opinion existed regarding the wisdom of such a course, and opportunity was taken of the presence of so many bowlers to get a definite expression of opinion. Colonel E. J. Collins, president of the Northern Bowling Association, presided, the pavilion being packed with bowlers. In bringing up tho matter of the open door policy it was explained by the chairman that any motion passed would be only in the nature of a recommendation to the council. THE NEW SYSTEM. Mr Tasker (Palmerston North), on behalf of tho Palmerston North Club, moved that the open door policy be continued. Mr N. Bell seconded tho motion, as the maintenance of the onen door policy would place country cluos upon the same footing as the town clubs. Every club- entered had a chanco of carrying off the banner under the now arrangement.

Mr J. J. Roberts (Newtown) moved as an amendment that tho open door policy be held every alternate year. Mr J. P. Thomson (Napier) seconded the amendment. (He said it would be practically impossible for every centre to accommodate all bowlerg who might desire to compete at a tournament. If the modification were adopted fouh centres would bo able to accommodate the champion fours in alternate years. There would be a complete and continuous chance under the system suggested. The new policy had proved a great success, and would mean the permanent success of every bowling association they had. Every two years under the method suggested in tho _ amendment the tournament would consist of interWub matches instead of competitions between the respective skips. (Hear, hear). This would greatly add to the pleasure of the tournaments. Mr B. J. Hill (Te Hiwi) asked if they were assembled in the interests of the wholeof tho bowlers or only, those present. Personally he would like to see _the matter referred back to the various clubs for an expression of opinion, which, he thought, would almost unanimously be in favour of the open door policy. They should then decide by the vote of the members what step they

would take for tho conduct of future tournaments. DELAY NOT NECESSAEY. Mr H. Bell (Napier) pointed out that an expression of opinion had practically been obtained from the clubs, and it would be a waste of time to again refer tho question to them. The members were present as tho representatives of tho chibs, # and they were the proper persons to give an expression of opinion and send a recommendation on to tho council. Mr Casey (Grey Lynn), who represented thirteen clubs, said the open door policy had been a complete success. The alteration had met with the wishes of the largest number of clubs. Possibly it might inflict a hardship on some of the smaller clubs in # th© providing of sufficient accommodation, but this difficulty might bo obviated in the future. Mr Mclntosh (Onehunga) supported the open door policy. Small clubs should not bo debarred from competing in the tournaments, even if they could only send one team. Bowlers were not pot-hunters—(applause)-—but played the game for tho pleasure they got out of it. (Hear, hear). AN OPPONENT. Mr Keesing (Wanganui) said his club had not favoured tno open-door policy. The association was an association of clubs, not of individuals, and tho number of rinks sent should be limited. He was nob opposed to tho new system every second year, but equal representation only should carry the banner with it. ll© was in favour of the amendment, which was a mitigation of a bigger disease which he had r intended to inflict on’ them. Mr J. M. Geddis (Wellington) asked why a club like Wellington, with 250 members, should be restricted to two .rinks? (Hear, hear.) If the number of rinks were restricted it would prevent small clubs like Pihama, which could only send one strong rink, from participating in the tournament.. in Auckland and Wellington tho'restriction to two rinks had resulted in hardships and heartburning. The open-door policy was much more satisfactory, was the principle which obtained in Scotland, and which had been responsible for tho success of the New Zealand Bowling Association in the South Island. If the old system were reverted to it would mean tn© disruption of the Northern Bowling Association. (Cries of "Nonsense.") It would probably mean that Auckland, Wellington anti other centres would (jarry on tne tournaments. A voice: Let them have it if that is the spirit. Mr Petti© (Gisborne) said ho had been instructed to oppose the new, policy in favour of the system: which ,ii*d been carried on so successfully for years. However, seeing the feeling of the meeting, ho would nob oppose tne policy of the open-door system every two years. The adoption of this policy would prevent tho possibility of disruption, and maintain the best interests of bowls. The city bowlers should meet tho country bowlers by allowing tho competitions to proceed on the open-door policy alternately each year, which would be in tno best interests of the association. Mr Nash (Jr'aimoratcn iVorth) supported the new policy.; The trouble, so far as country ciubs were concerned, had ■b?en done away with by the hew system, if had weakened the strength of the larger clubs,' by, distributing 'the players, which was exactly what the country clubs desired. He instanced what was done by the Bowling Association in the Souta island, and said • he was firmly convinced that the time-had arrived when the same .system should be adopted here. Tho centre associations should bo apart from tho Northern Bowling He thought tho time had arrived when they should hold tho annual tournament alternately at Auckland and ‘Wellington. This could bo provided for by making heavy levies on tho bowlers when taking part in the tournaments. The time was coming when there would bo one association for the whole of the Dominion. (Hear, hear.) ■ THE YOUNGER PLAYERS. Mr W. Pryor (Wellington) supported the open-door policy as it gave the younger players a chance. In tho South this policy had been a thorough success. Tho arguments . were overoverwhclmingly in favour of the new policy. METHOD OF VOTING. The chairman suggested that the vote of the meeting should be a club one, not an individual one of the members present. Mr W. Pryor» protested against this. The vote should consist of an expression of opinion from the individual members of th© meeting. f The chairman contended that the vote would lose its value if it came from the individual members and not from the clubs. It wa-s decided to take a vote of both the clubs and the individual members present. The motion was carried by a large majority on tho vote of the meeting. A club vote was then taken, this also being in favour of the motion—by 28 votes to 15. THE NEXT TOURNAMENT. It was decided to recommend that th© next championship meeting be held at Auckland. A hearty vote of thanks was carried to the Wellington clubs for the splendid arrangements made for the present tournament. THE RETIRING SECRETARY. Appreciative expression was made of the manner in which the retiring secretary, Mr J. H. Mentiplay, had fulfilled his duties during fifteen yom*/ service. If was decided to instruct the council to take stops to present a testimonial to

Mr Montiplay in recognition of Ills good work. , . • i • Mr Mentinlnv, in replying, said circumstances which he could not explain at present had rendered his retirement regret that ho had to, relinquish tac position, as he had derived a great deal of pleasure from I*.is connection (be association. V/hou he first took up the duties there wore only twelve club;:, connected with the as*'cwt:oii, now there were fifty-wen. 1 iou-h he was retiring he honed their fcMowsuxp won la not end, and” that he would moot h.s bowling friends again. Cheers were given lor Mr Meiiiiplaj, terminating the meeting.
