As a result of games played in the Downs croquet pennants competition at Toowoomba yesterday, the Dalby Croquet Club is in a good position, and the outcome of play against West Toowoomba at Dalby on March 30 will have a big bearing on the result. So far Dalby has won 11 games out of 16. Play yesterday was on the Toowoomba and Laurel Bank courts, at Toowoomba. Playing against Allora, Mesdames M. Jack, T. Smith, and L. Coutts, E. Cramer won, and Mesdames E. Starling, L. Wilson and A. E. G. Campbell, G. Anderson lost; and against Toowoomba, Mesdames Starling, Wilson, and Coutts, Cramer won, the others suffering defeat. On Tuesday, the team won all but one game.
