SOUTHERN PLAYERS DOINGS. DETAILED RESULTS. NOTES ON THE PLAY. (Special ro Dailt Tmes.} CHRISTCHURCH, January 18. Good weather continues to favour the New Zealand Bowling Association’s championship tournament, to-day’s play taking place in pleasant conditions except that a moderate easterly wind made the Sighting of the bowls difficult at times. The fifth round of the Pairs Championship was concluded in the afternoon and the section winners and in some instances the green winners were discovered. The remainder of the green winners will be sorted out tomorrow morning, after which tho green champions will continue in the post-sec-tional play. The decision wil] be on the “ sudden death ” principle. The 1923 champions, W. M’Callum and T. Edwards (Temuka) came through tho sectional plnv without a loss, but J. N. Da Feu and E. A. Smith (St. Albans) defeated them by 25 to 15 in the playoff for green winners A similar fate befell J. Angus and J. A. Redpath (Canterbury}, who won the championship in 1924. They tied fo r top place in the sectional play with J. Kershaw and W. Fielding (Hailaital), both pairs having one loss, and in the play off were beaten by 18 to 17. M. Walker (Auckland) who, with A. Brackenbush, won the Pairs Championship last year, is partnered this year by C. Muston. They scored only four wins in their section, failing to qualify. One of the great surprises of the Pairs Championship was the remarkable reversal of form of J Kerr (Masterton), whose double lost every gamo. In the Rinks Championship Kerr’s team, mainly through the excellent play of the skip was the only one to go right through the nine rounds of sectional play without a loss. In the play off in the Section A between Opawa (S. Maddren and A. F. Rollinson) and Canterbury (T. A. Cherry and B J. Finnegan), on the Sydenham green, after 21 heads the score was even, 17 all. An extra head was played in the semidarkness. Opawa scored a single and qualified. To-morrow morning the rinks games will be resumed on the St. Albans green. The green winners will be decided at Lmwooa, and the singles will be continued at Sydenham. The pairs will be played at Edgeware to-morrow afternoon. One of the events of the tournament on the Canterbury Club’s green—the North v.
