A. Hyde Lay, of the Kowloon Cricket Club, and title holder of 1933, had a close call in the lawn bowls singles championship yesterday afternoon when he met J. E. Noronha on the Kowloon Dock R. C. green where he won. by 21 shots to 17 after 24 heads had been played.
The closeness of the scores In no way indicates the standard of play! for, taken all round, the bowls was not good, nalther were the conditions for that matter. A wet and heavy green to which was later added a constant drizzle, marred what might ensily have proved a match worthy of the two players,

After a lapse of 28 years, Sheffield Wednesday won the F. A. Challenge Cup for the third time in the history of the club. It was only during the last three minutes of a great game at Wembley that they achieved their ambition, scoring twice against West Bromwich when extra time seemed assured.

London, May 21.
With honours slightly in their favour the South African cricket tourists were held to their second drawn match to-day when they concluded their fixture with the M. C. C. at Lord's where the English side suffered the ignominy of having to follow-on against an opposition total of 297 runs.
Bowlers held the upper band in the series of matches brought to a close to-day and only four centuries were scored. Yorkshire, after an indifferent start, trounced Gloucestershire in the County Championship, while Sussex, at one time considered the strongest of the Southern counties, suffered another defeat.
