Edwards, pror mises a smooth and flawless perfor- ’>■ mance. Box plans now open at D.I.C. 1 s _ morning Deare outplayed Rolls (Fea- ] therston) to win 22—6. The Auckland player drew with machine-like accuracy and his opponent scored on l " only four heads. Playing at the top 11 of his form Squire had an easy win over Spearman (Sydenham). Squire led 16—3 after nine heads and the re0 suit was never in doubt so consistent was his form. The game ended on . ' the 20th head with Squire the winner 25—11. a After a short respite Deare (two lives) met Squire (one life). Squire continued to show the brilliant form f j which won him his first game and Ip Deare, although he played well was beaten decisively.
