DRAUGHTS.
DOMINION TOURNAMENT. (Per United Press Association.! INVERCARGILL, April 25. Play in the Dominion draughts tournament was continued on Thursday, when some of the players completed their 36 games. The final games in the tournament will take place to-morrow, and a close finish appears to he almost certain. The standard of play continued very high on Thursday, although some of the players were showing the effects of the strain of hard play, and were not carrying their games through with the keenness displayed earlier in the tournament. J. Lucas topped the list, but he has completed his play, and at least three players are within striking distance of his score. D. Calderwood (Hamilton) is only one point behind Lucas, and has three games to play, and his possible is 28. He has to meet G. A. Brown, however, and the Christchurch champion has not been beaten yet. If Calderwood draws with Brown and wins his third game he will total 27, and be half a point below J. Boreham’s possible, the Dunedin champion having three games to add to a score of 24i. Borehum is still playing well, and has won more games than any other player in the tourney to date. The first four places will probably be shared by Boreham, Calderwood, Lucas, and Brown. The results of the play to date are as follows :
