SOUTHLAND WINS IN DUNEDIN

HARRAWAY SHIELD RETAINED (Special to The Times) ; DUNEDIN, February 9. The annual bowling match for the ' Harraway Shield was played between I Otago and Southland at the Caledonian | green on Saturday, when Southland j easily retained the trophy by a margin i of 64 points. The weather was over- i cast, but fine, and the green was in ' excellent condition. Even though they were playing on ! their home green the Otago players seemed unable to cope with the visitors’ : accurate drawing and only two of the l Dunedin fours won their games. An I i indication of the visitors’ superiority is ; | given by the fact that three well- I I known Otago skips, C. Tyrrell, J. Dow- : I land and W. Anderson, had over 30 I I points scored against them while they i could not secure more than 11, 16 and : 15 points respectively. Scores:—• S. O' W. J. Brown, L. H. Wildermoth, G. Donald, D. K.
