COUNCIL DECIDES ON APRIL 25
SAME EVENTS AS LAST SEASON
AT a meeting of the Council of the Hong Kong
Lawn Bowls Association last evening, it was decided that the season be officially opened on Saturday April 25, and also that the same open competitions as last year be held this season. The following were elected to serve on the sub- committee, together with the President and Hon. Secretary, to control all the competitions: Messrs. F. X. da Silva, F. V. Jones, E. el Arculli and J. V. Ramsay.
¿
There was a very lengthy discussion regarding the Open Pairs competition, as there was a suggestion that all the pre- liminary rounds be decided on 15 heads instead of 21 heads as
in previous seasons, while the semi-finals and final be played over the various clubs, and if the general opinion was in favour of 15
21 heads. It was finally agreed that the matter be referred to
heads the matter would then be discussed again by the Council
The meeting decided, that as a mark of appreciation of their efforts, members of the Hong Kong team who won the Esplin Cup
at the Wanstead Club last year, will be presented with the Asso- ciation's "League Badge.”
Speaking of the matches at Home this year, the chairman |said that there would be a num- ber of local bowlers in England | this summer and that, with the approval of the meeting, he would ask the Hon. Secretary

RUMJAHN LUCKY TO WIN
BRILLIANT PASSING

CHAMPION CHANGES TACTICS AND THEN BEATS EXHAUSTED OPPONENT
(By "Base-Line")
PAUL KONG, veteran Chinese Davis Cup player, played brilliant tennis yesterday at the HK.C.C. to extend Sirdar Rumjahn, the holder, to 2-6, 7-5, 6-4 in the quarter-finals of the Colony Lawn Tennis Doubles Championship.
At times he gave an inspired exhibition, and when he secured a 3-1 lead in the final set it looked as if there was going to be another major upset. Lack of stamina, and that only, however, caused his downfall after he had saved one match point.
Rumjahn was passed time and again with ridiculous esse when he attempted to storm the net and it was only a belated change of tactics against a very tired and less steadier opponent that saw him win by the narrowest possible margin. As against J. Tavares in an earlier round, he was lucky to win.
Kong, of whom no one thought much following an uncom. monly easy entry into the last eight, showed perfect control on both hands, the majority of his shots being within incires of the base-line, while his volleying was quite as good as anything seen in this year's series. He was, however, uncertain overhead and was again apt to be careless when presented with a perfect
