He was loss impressive against Sprot, the triumphant Scottish bowler, who has so far won all his matches.. Sprot, maintain- ing the magnificent form which he showed at the start of the Games, overwhelmed Hyde-Lay to win 21-5.
Nevertheless Hongkong gain- ed a further success yesterday, when the pairs (I). G. Cooper and F. L. Ropley) beat the Scottish combination by seven shots. This was an even better performance than their defeat of the Rhodeslán pair on Tuesday.
Up against T. C. Hills and G. W. A. Wright (England), however, our local players were all at sen. But thos were opposed to the sarentest combination in the British Empire, and did well to score 19 points. Hill and Wright were two members of the winning team at Ontarla in 1930, when the English Bowling Association wor overy ovent.
