SENIOR PAIRS TITLE.

WON BY PILKINTON AND E

CHATWIN

The final for the Pahiatua Bowling Club's senior pairs championship has been won by E. Chatwin and R. Pilkinton, who defeated G. Chatwin and Dr. Paterson by 24—19. Smarting off with a. handicap of two, the latter pair took the first head with a two and then lost the next two, after which Pilkinton and E. Chatwin were leading 5 4. G. Chatwin and Paterson scored a single in the next head when the board read five all. Seven went down on Pilkinton’s tally in the two subsequent f heads and then their opponents dug in their toes in the next five heads, after which the board read: Pilkinton 13, Paterson 12. Pilkinton then rang on a three at the twelfth, Paterson responding with a pair of singles. The fifteenth head w r ent to Pilkinton with a brace, and at this stage the star of Paterson and G. Chatwin was in the ascendancy. They put on a single at the sixteenth and followed it up with a three and another single, thus regaining their early lead. Excitement ran high at this stage as it was anyone’s game. Pilkinton and his partner rolled down a three which put them in front again and they put the issue beyond doubt by repeating this at the twentieth head. The game was worthy of a final and the win was well deserved, Pilkin'ton’s play having been most consistent throughout the competition.
