BOWLING NOTES.

Since the last issue of the u Gen” further progress has "been made in the Competition matches, and some good play was witnessed in the final stages of the pairs. The four pairs remaining in the semi-finals were y drawn to play as follows, Brenner (A and Sutherland (Is- ? land) v Hargreaves (Island) and Mein-/ tosh (AF), ”att (Island) and Madsen (AR) v Could (island) and Grinnell--771 vans (Island). In each case the last named player was skip,! One of the- surprises of ’ the Cornpet i t ion was the BostAMaster-General’ s\ ■' easy-defeat of Sutherland!who had the able support of" Mac. " Bremner. Grin-nell-Evans defeated' .Bay Madsen by on- . ly two points after the. latter made a big recovery and looked, like a winner. The final match - Mclntosh v • Grinnell-Evans was. a most-keenly contested one, with Mclntosh exhibiting his mastery" of running as well as drawing shots. - His' skilful handling of difficult situations prevented his opponent from making a recovery on 4 the last few heads. ,The final score read: Mclntosh 21, Grinnell-Evans 10, Mac was also on the ball that evening - no doubt celebrating his win, , ' Tn the singles, Bremrier gave a (good- display of drawing, but was . eliminated by Jenkins (island) who had . the advantage of experience in firm running shots, A further round has yet to be played -with four Island players still in, Mclntosh .is the on-r ly Air Force bowler left. More pro* gress should, be made with the Singles. Tourney tomorrow, weather permitting.. OoGoo An Auckland correspondent has drawn our attention to the fact that it was an Auckland girl who won the fy&dk. bathing beauty contest held > in Wellington recently. He suggests that the probable reason for this is that all girls in the wet and windy burgh are. handicapped by having webbed feet, To which a Wellington . correspondent (evidently in the same tent) replies ” At. least they dont say ’quack.’ quack.’’ with an ..American . accent.’” • « , 00000 We noticed in last week’s ’’Free Lance” a fairly detailed description of the underwear, or -lack thereof,' worn by Italian women. We had always wondered what the troops did when there was no fighting on the ItalianFront, but now we have an inkling.
