SHANGHAI PLAYERS AND

SERIES OF TEST MATCHES SUGGESTION.
[DY BACK WOOD."]
-
Perfect weather during their longi stay and a round of entertainment
at the various Clubs have helped
In
to make the Shanghai lawn bow- lers feel thoroughly at home, but they will have one regret that they failed to win the match which most mattered on their visit to Hong Kong. Shanghai certainly did not deserve to lose by two shots after the excellent grip they maintained on the strong local team, but the anexpected removal of his own, se cond wood by the Shanghai lender gave Hong Kong the "jous". both the big match and in their meetings with the Clubs, the Shang- hai players have shown themselves to be thoroughly good sports, and the keenness they displayed, whe ther win or lose, greatly added to the interest of the games to the spectators. Three matches went against Shanghai by the margin of one shot, and there was enough excitement for the onlookers whe the they understood the Ater points of the game or not. At the Club de Recreio rantch, which in my opinion was the best in the their spokesman told the
series how he was thrilled by
the game although until that day the knew little or nothing about bowls.
.
Kowloon Dock's match on the day of arrival of the team having to be termed an unofficial" fix- ture, the visitors very sportingly offered them another match, and they went further to give the Yacht Club and Electric R.C. separate games instead of one match with a combined, team from the two Clubs, Results of matches played so far are as under:-
Lost to Kowloon C.C. by two
shots, 14-16.
Beat Craigengower by five shots,
21-16.
Beat Civil Service by 11 shots,
20-18.
Lost to Police by one shot, 16-17. Lost to Recreio by one shot, 15-
10.
Beat Government House by 90
shots, 36-16.
Lost to Bowling G.C. hy seven
shots, 16-93.
Lost to Taikoo by one shot, 21-
79
Lost to Kowloor. Dock R.C. by
M
four shots, 20-24.

A suggestion made four years ago that the Interport should be decid ed on the best of three matches was revived by a Shanghai player. This seems to be a good idea, and one which, if adopted, would make the Interport more interesting. As has been pointed out, a single match is not sufficient to decide an Interport, especially in lawn bowls, when one side or the other may be completely off form
that particular day least the players at several references to their unequal form on the day of the big match after a period of late nights as an inevitable result of Club matches and hospitality. If the visitors are to get a fair deal, I hope that the suggestion will be discussed between
of
Two made..

matter was brought up a player HONG KONG FURNITURE
told me that the tests could be made
more real and interesting by hav
ing five matches with a day's rest
after the first two.
Hong Kong had his season more elose games than nt any other time. In the League there were several matches decided on one, two and three shots, while the Interport series repeated this feature. I have to refer to another match played at Craigengöwer last Sunday which was decided by two shots in fav Four of the visitors, the Dockyard Recreation Club. It was a unique match, as 40 players making up five rinks were engaged. The end was most exciting when M. O'Brien (C.C.C. skip) and R. T. Taylor (D.R.C. skip) had to decide the issue of a most interesting game. The Dockyard lay two shots when the skips took the mat. O'Brien failed to get in with either wood. An excited Dockyard supporter then gave a hint to Skip Taylor to go Taikoo," and a very amus ing incident occurred when quite unconsciously Taylor sent his wood tearing away on wrong bins to an adjoining, rink!
*
The Shanghai team have two more matches, which will be under- taken by their remaining players, several having already left. This afternoon they visit the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club, and to- morrow they will meet the Electric R.C. The only other bowls fixture to-morrow is the match to decide the junior top position. Civil Ser vice and Taikoo are in the contest, and there should be a good atten dance at the Kowloon Dock to watch this contest.

The subscription griffins for 1930 arrived in Hong Kong during the week, and are now housed in the Bournemouth Jockey Club Stables at Causeway Brentford Bay.
Brighton Contrary to established custom, Bristof R. the ponies are not being drawn for Clapton 0. immediately on arrival. The pre- | Exeter sent batch of ninety animals are Luton being clipped and measured before Northampton the drawing will take place. This Plymouth step is taken, I hear, in order that Southend all those who have booked subscrip- Swindon tion griffins should get an animal which is at least fit on the day of delivery, the object being that no Carlisle one should draw a pony with "three. Crewe legs," so to speak.

Further, the new system of mea- suring the subs before the draw will certainly prove a welcome step. A the subs have arrived so early this year, tre will be plenty of time to get them into shape by Eebruary, and provided the con- Aberdeen Bignment is as good as it has been Clyde during the past few years, the rac- Cowdenbeath ing in the subs class should-be very Dundee U.
