Rain mars Saturday croquet; inter-State players welcomed home

Rain hindered progress in the Saturday afternoon games of the West Toowoomba Croquet Club, and many players were unable to finish. Scores completed were.— Mesdames McConachie and Sandberg 16 v. Mrs. Hodgson and Miss Morrison (Melbourne) 6; Mesdames Flegler and King 8 v. Mrs. Quinn and Miss Fryar 17; Mrs. Doyle 6 v. Mrs. Hanscombe 3.

Social play was arranged during the week by Mesdames Bullock, Sandberg, Webber, Quinn, Doyle, Appelt, Butler, Alroe, Hanscombe, Hendersen and Miss Fryar. In the handicap singles, Mrs. Quinn defeated Mrs. Bullock 26-10. Mrs. Quinn will now meet Mrs. Webber in the finals. A welcome home was extended to the members who had visited Brisbane, and taken part in the croquet inter-State tournament recently. They were congratulated on their excellent play, particularly Mrs. Flegler, who had won the consolation singles handicap in the senior A and junior A Grades. The president (Mrs. McConachie) welcomed Miss Morrison, of Melbourne, who is an international player and holder of this year's open championship.
