To Win
Game
THE TWO SEMI-FINAL ROUNDS of the Open Singles Lawn Bowls championship were played yesterday at the Kowloon Football Club before a large crowd of spectators and resulted in U.M. Omar beating B. Basto by 21-6 and A. R. Dallah disposing of C. F. Remedios by 15-21.
The more interesting of the two games was that between Remedios and Dallah and though the latter won by six shots, Remedios made a des- perate effort to save the game in the last two heads.
Remedios was badly off form and was often short with his woods and narrow with his backhand while Dallah was in his usual form and struck his best form from the 5th to the 17th head when he was always on or near the jack.
on the
first Dallah scored a two head and had increased the lead to 5-2 by the fourth head but Remedios tied the score on the next with a three and by the next three heads had obtained a lead of 9-5.
brought the score to 18-9. On the 16th head Remedios scored a two but Dallah also replied with a two.
On the 18th head Remedios scored a four and heartened by this, made a great effort to win. In the next head he was lying three and it look- ed as if he still had Aghting chance, but Dallah with a perfect draw, not only saved the heavy count, but drew the shot to win the match. C. F.

It's the mellowness of BOOTH'S Dry Gin that makes it so much to be desired in cocktails. Such mellowness comes only from treble distillation and maturing in sherry casks and BOOTH'S DRY is the only GIN which receives such care in its mak- ing. It is not to be wondered at that the 1st prize Cocktail in the Inter- national Cocktail Competition was made with Booth's Dry.
