BOWLING.

RINKS TOURNAMENT AT LINWOOD GREEN. Twenty rinks, representing eleven clubs, are taking part in the New Year rinks tournament of the Linwood Bowling Club, which was commenced yesterday. The tournament, which was inaugurated by the Linwood Club many years ago, has become a very popular fixture with Christchurch bowlers, and although additional playing area has been provided this year, several rinks which wanted to take part had to be disappointed. The weather conditions were excellent when play commenced yesterday morning, but after the second round rain set in and it was found necessary to abandon play for the day. The conditions for the tournament were that three games of twenty-one heads were to be played each day, but it was decided yesterday afternoon to play four games of sixteen heads to-day. The green umpires are Messrs E. Healey and H. Wilson. Following are the reiiults of to-day’s games:— Third Round. Linwood—Buist, Munro. Sprosen, Tvellaway 18, Sydenham—Hopkirk, Allan, Becconsall, T.
