FIVE REMAIN IN SINGLES

N.Z. BOWLING CHAMPIONSHIP EXCEPTIONALLY FINE PLAY SEEN THREE CALEDONIAN PLAYERS IN. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, Last Night. The singles championship of New Zealand bowling was continued to-day, when an entry of 192 players was reduced to five. The competitors still in the running ’for the championship, each with one life, are J. Scott (Caledonian), W. Foster (Caledonian), J. J. Hinchcliff (Caledonian), C. E. Tyrrell (Roslyn) and M. Routley (Kelburn). Only four greens were in use and as on the first day they played excellently. The chief interest centred in the names on the Christchurch Club’s green, where the “two lifers,” the players who had come through their sections without defeat on Monday, were matched against one another. At the other greens the players who had suffered one loss on the first day engaged in further sectional play, those remaining in the event being transferred after the third round to the Christchurch green, where the eliminating rounds were played. < Ab the number of players in the event was reduced in successive rounds the interest grew and the spectators were treated to some exceptionally fine exhibitions. The remaining matches for the singles championship will be played as the competitors concerned become available by their elimination from or completion of other events in the tourney. A start will be made to-morrow in sectional play for the pairs championships.
