BOWLS

SATURDAY’S PLAY AT WAIPAWA. There was a very fair muster of ■ players on the Bowling Club’s green on Saturday. Chief interest centred in a match for the Central Hawke’s Bay Buttons, in which the challengers, skipped by Holt, beat Walker, who skipped the holders in the absence of Patterson, by one point. Details of play:— Challenge match: Kenny, A. Walker, Jopson, Holt, 17; Hawke senr., W. Harwood, Wallace, Walker, 16. Nisson, F. W. Holt, Petherick, Parkin, 24; Harker, Noell, Miller, Chisholm, 21. Hermanson, Davy, Adeane, 18; Hawke junr., Kingston, Clark, 14. BREWER BUTTONS. These trophies changed hands again last week, Mclntosh and Miller beating the holders, Haldane and Davy, by 12 to nine. CHAMPION FOURS. ON THE TWO-LIFE PRINCIPLE. WAIPAWA ELIMINATED IN FIRST TWO GAMES. The first day’s play in the Champion Fours competition of the H.B. Bowling Centre took place on the Kia Toa green on Saturday. The weather was terrifically hot, but the green was somewhat dead owing to the rain of the previous week. Played on the two-life principle, Waipawa were unfortunate enough to be eliminated in the second round, losing the first game to Havelock North, after a hard-fought contest, by 21 to 16. In the second game they went down to Hastings by 20 to 12. Waipukurau won their first game, against Wairere, by 23 to 19, but were defeated in the next two, and therefore have no further interest in the competition. Only two rinks, Napier and Omarumii, emerged from the day’s play with two lives. Napier registered a win in each of the three games, the third, against Port, with the lant bowl. Omarumii won their first tore’ games and had the good fortune to draw a bye in the third. The second day’s play rvas to have taken place on the Waipukurau green next Saturday, hut as both Waipawa and Waipukurau have been eliminated the play will take place on the Hastings green.
