HOLLAND UNCHECKED
IN BOWLS OPEN
EXPERIENCE DECIDES AGAINST SILVA
LOSER'S ERROR OF JUDGMENT
A.
(By "Skip")
M-HOLLAND, former bowls interport cap- tain and singles champion in 1930, who de- feated A. W. Grimmitt the holder in the First Round of the Colony Singles Championship, add- ed another feather to his cap yesterday when he trounced the Recreio player, F. X. M. da Silva by $21 shots to 3 on the Kowloon Dock green.
Holland has now firmly established himself as a favourite for the title, and if he keeps to his present form should certainly reach the Final His triumph yesterday was mainly due to his greater knowledge of the game, Silva making the fatal mistake of assuming that the green would be heavy and playing accord- ing to this supposition throughout. Holland, on the other hand. was quick to realise that this was not the case despite the rain. and early changed his tactics to suit circumstances.

MAX BAER AND JAMES BRADDOCK TO CLASH
MOST DISCUSSED FIGHT IN RING HISTORY
CHALLENGER GIVEN NO OUTSIDE ODDS FOR WIN OVER HOLDER DESCRIBED as one of the greatest fiascos in
the history of the world's heavyweight box- Ling championship, the encounter between Max Baer, the present holder, and James Braddock, a practically unknown boxer but the nominated challenger of the New York Boxing Commission, takes place to-night at Madison Square Garden Bowl, Long Island.
The boxing world was astounded by the an- nouncement that Baer had been signed to fight James Braddock, who a year ago was working as a dockhand, but who, it is alleged by the New York Boxing Commission, has shown very pro- ,mising form and is conceded an even chance of toppling Maxie Baer from the heavyweight throne.
Prior to the announcement of tonight's fight, it was a fore- cone conclusion that Max Schmeling, the German heavyweight, who earned the right to meet the world champion by virtue of his knock-out win over Steve Hamas, the German-American, in Hame burg last month, would meet Baer, but this was not to be.
