A great game was witnessed on Saturday at the Recreation Club green when A. Malcolm and A. McGregor won the Pairs championship by one shot. The game was full of interest throughout and the large crowd of spectators had plenty of thrills. Stormes.and Smith were leading at the fifth end 5-3 when their opponents secured a four, a three and a two, to which they could only reply with two singles, The score at the 10th read 12-7 in favour of the Yangtszepoo pair. At the 13th Malcolm and McGregor got a five which gave them a substantial lead, but by dint of clever play this was reduced, for at the 18th end the score read 18-15. Malcolm only scored once after this to Stormes' three, Yangtszepoo thus winning by 19-18. The green was in splendid condition and every arrangement made for the comfort of the large crowd assembled. Both sides are to be congratu ulated on putting up such a fine exhibition of bowls.
Result: (Y. L. B. C.) A. Malcolm and A. McGregor 19, (J. G. 0.) G. B. Stormes and E. M. Smith 18.
