FOUR BOWLING MATCHES
PLAYED ON PARK GREEN
Hay and Eaton Defeat Lawson and
Earsman After an Exciting Strug-
ole on the Kinks.

Only four matches were played by
the Scottish bowlers yesterday after
noon. The best game was a doubles
between Alexander Hay and w. R.
Eaton and Y. C. Lawson and j. M.
Earsman. The latter were considered
a stronger team than their opponents,
but were beaten, 21 to II. 1t was a
close contest and the last few ends de-
cided it.
The other matches played were all
one-sided. The closest was that be-
tween ]. NJ. Earsman and D. O'Brien.
The former won, 81 to Z. t. G. Aiken
and j. McLaren did some excellent
rolling when they beat such cracks as
J. c. Moffatt, the club champion, and
Fl. L. Tickner, 21 to 5. The losers were
beaten by a similar score in their
match with Joseph Gray and G.. c.
Patterson. The green was wet and
the absence of most of the crack play
ers was due to this.
