UNUSUAL INCIDENT ON GREEN
PLAYER, DROPPED PIPE ON
BOWL
(Special to the Times.) AUCKLAND, Jan. 3. An unusual incident occurred in the Christmas bowling tourney, which is now in its concluding stages, it was at St. Helier’s green, with the game at a critical stage, the Auckland team leading by one point on the nineteenth beau. Auckland’s lead drew a toucher, and Remuera’s No. 2 “rested” it. As “kitty” lay with the two rival bowls, each only inches way, tcekinc* her favor, it appeared to the contestants, who craned their necks for the usual close examination, that Auckland would, on the official measure, gain the verdict. But, as they stooped over, Auckland’s No. 3 dropped his pipe. It fell on the Remuera bowl and deflected it tlie merest fraction, giving Remuera the shot. In future this player is to l e ask' eel to leave his pipe at home when he attends a bowling tournament, so that momentous issues may now be diverted by trivial mischances.
