NEW ZEALANDERS IN AUSTRALIA United Press Association — By Electrio Telegraph — Copyright. (Received April 13, 11.25 p.m.) ADELAIDE, April 13. The first game of the New Zealand bowlers against South Australia was played at Hindmarsh. The green was heavy after a light rain. The local men led early and at the tenth head were 13 up. Goldstein's rink made a fin© recovery, and the Dominion won amid great excitanient on the last rink to finish, Waddell scoring 2. Walker in the second end got a sevener against Ham, who never recovered, although Thompson and the skipper played many good shots. Seedier led beautifully for Walker, who himself played well. John Hill began quickly against Goldstein, and on the fifteenth head was 10 up. The dominion captain saved magnificently and, finishing with two 2's, made a tie. Allnutt always had a lead over Moody, who, however, reduced it at the finish. Allnutt was several times the saviour of his side with drawing shots. Waddell and Walsh, the local singles champion,, were never far apart in the l?~t end. Neave drew a toucher and Bishop got a good second, which Walsh, failed to move. Bentley was always in front of Winnall. The dominion captain played an admirable game. New Zealand won by one point. The scores were as follow : — < New Zealand. — Neeve, W.
