BURTON CUP PLAY LATE START ON SATURDAY Tho weather cleared sufficiently on Saturday afternoon to enable play to commence at about 1.30 o'clock, and although there were interruptions caused by showers, three games of 11 heads each were played. At the end of the day, Lafferty led in the A section with six wins and no losses, Holmes being second with one loss, while in the B section McLaren has won all his games to date, with Murray and Martin following closely with one loss apiece. In the 0 section tho position is more interesting. Prior to the completion of the sixth game, Hueston had been undefeated, but lie went down to Craig, who with only one Joss tied with Hueston in leading tho section.
