of the Brighton H- . at the Club's official 098E198 last night when he defeated Len Phillips 52-33 in the final Bu!" of the elimination tournament. For the first few minutes of the match it looked es if it were going to be a close knit battle with Doyle leading 9-8 but from that po n. on Doyle built up a lead to have a 39-20 margin at one time. Five straight ringers by Phillips at this point with Doyle gettin two put the loser back in the running but again the winner came on in the last part of the match to earn his l9 point margin at the finish.

All matches produced some great tossing. Reg McLelian and Phil- lips had a. ding dong battle before the former finally won out; Arldy Martin and Jack McCourt fought neck and neck right to the fin- ish with Andy chalking up the last two points for a 50-48 victory while Martin in a semi-final match against Doyle after trailing 25-2 at one stage of the game came on to account for 39 points before his opponent could get the requir- ed 50.
