MISS PAMELA BARTON'S DRAMATIC GOLF WIN
WIN IN SURREY FINAL
OMAR'S BOLD BID
FOR TITLE
FIELD TROUNCED ON
SODDEN GREEN:
EX-CHAMPION'S BRILLIANCE
(By "Skip")
PLAYING in a drizzle of rain yesterday after- noon, U. M. Omar, one of the most brilliant bowlers in the Colony, winner of the Singles Championship in 1923 and in 1931 and runner-up in 1926, submitted W. V. Field, his club-mate at Craigengower, to a gruelling half-hour on the Ci- vil Service green, defeating him in the First Round of the Open Lawn Bowls Singles Cham- pionship by 21-shots to 5 after 11 heads.
Despite, the fact that Omar has been eliminated from the Singles on two previous occasions when playing on a green in a similar condition to what it was yesterday. he consented to carry on, although he would have been quite within his rights to have postponed the game to a future date.
A novel context over the hurdles was staged at Los Angeles between Bob Farr, Loyola Univer- sity hurdles, and "Ralet,” full-blooded Arabian jumper. Both took the jumps with ease, but the barse stepped out ahead in the straightaway to win easily.
Omar played as accurately as if the weather had been ideal COLONY PAIRS and was unaffected by the water-logged green. Field, on the other hand, has never been worse, and only pat in two shots during the. whole game which were worthy of note.
The game commenced with Omar annexing a four, but the, next two heads were to Field's advantage when he scored twice to equalise. With this excellent opening it looked as if it would and interesting prove a close game. but the spectators disappointed, for after this Field only scored one more point, on the ninth head. and the game henceforth had a most one-sided aspect.

It must be said in justice. to Field that he was unlucky on more than one occasion, the most notable: being or the sixth bead when Omar was lying two. He sent up what at first appeared to be a bril- fiant shot. It had good weight be and green and appeared to drawing in for the shot. It took

MRS. PEEL BEATEN AT KINGSWOOD
(By George Greenwood)
London, April 27.
MISS PAMELA BARTON, of Royal Mid-Sur- rey, is the new Surrey Women's champion. In the final she beat Mrs. R. T. Peel, of West By fleet, captain of the county team, by one hole at. Kingswood yesterday.
Miss Barton, who is 18 years old, and holds the French title, is the youngest player ever to win the Surrey championship. When Miss We- thered won in 1921 she was 20.

Miss Barton has again justî- fied my belief that she is by far the best of Britain's girl golfers. But if she is to make further pro-. gress she must be made to realise that a substantial and a virtual winning lead cannot always be frittered away with impunity.
