BOWLING

SOUTH OTAGO TOURNAMENT WON BY STIRLING RINK. The South Otago Centre’s annual tournament was played on Saturday in glorious weather. There was a record entry of 36 rinks, the Dunedin Centre being well represented. Three greens — Balclutha, Stirling, and Kaitangata—were utilised, and proved to be in excellent condition. On all three greens South Otago rinks were successful, the semifinals and the final being played on the Stirling green. A remarkable feature of the green final on the Balclutha green was the fact that Sharp (Kaitangata) failed to register a single point, Cuff wining by 14 —0, and Cuff was eliminated in the semi-final by Duncan, who scored 18 points to his opponent’s eight. At the conclusion of the final, in which Duncan (Stirling) defeated Dobbie (Kaitangata) by 21 to 18, the president (Mr J. M'Namara) presented the trophies. Mr M'Namara expressed pleasure at the presence of so many Dunedin rinks, and hoped that they would return next year and bring their friends. The visitors were loud in their praise of the splendid condition of the greens. Following are the details;— KAITANGATA GREEN, First Round.
