WANGANUI BOWLING

SATURDAY’S RESULTS Wanganui Bowling Centre activities I on Saturday included the annual , tournament for the Gordon Pairs ! title. This was played on the Wan- ' ganui green and resulted in a win for i I. Fleming and W. G. Herd, of the St. . John's Club. Ail other Wanganui : clubs continued full-rink competitions, j GORDON PAIRS FLEMING AND HERD WIN ■ Tl)c annual contest for the trophy 1 presented by Mr. G. S. Gordon to pro-; mote pairs playing, took place on Sal- ! urday at the Wanganui Club’s green, j when I. Fleming and W. G. Hord, ol the St. John’s Club, came out winners. This is Herd’s second win, at intervals, of this trophy. A strong, gusty wind made play difficult al times. At the conclusion of play Mr. W. J. Stone, president of the Wanganui Bowling Centre, presented the trophy and complimented the winners and runners-up. The two pairs from Ohakune, the | only outsiders, are to be highly com- , mended in coming such a distance to i take part, while S. Thomas and his partner. Perry, are to be compliment-1 cd on reaching the semi-final and i then being beaten by only one point ; after playing an extra end. Remarkable Gaines. The two semi-finals were remark- | able games, as in both an extra end i had to be played. Furthermore, the ; fact that when both games were half-! way through the margin of point-; ; was considerable. On the 13th end S.; Thomas was ten up on Herd. On th'' i 21st the score was 17-all, and in '.he extra end Herd secured a single. In the other semi-final, on lhe 11th end Benefield was 12-up on Mailman. From then on Mailman did most of the scoring, but lhe 21st finished 21all. In the extra end Mailman; secured a single. In the final, which was between I Herd and Mailman, the former, on the • 18th was 14-2. On the 10th Mailman secured four., making the score 14-7 against him. On the 14th when the score stood 16-9 against him Mailman had every prospec; of making up leeway, but 1 tri d. wit h his ! w. came into second place. From then on Herd did most of the scoring and finished up with 14 points to the good. The last two ends of the game were j not played.
