To the already large number of names of prominent local bowlers who have bowed to the inevitable in the current championships, must now be added that of U. M. Omar, one of the most experienced players in the Colony and the only man who has twice won the Singles title since the War. In the third round on the Club de Recreio green yesterday the Craigengower and Interport skip succumbed to the accuracy of J. V. Ramsay, of the Kowloon Docks Recrea- tion Club, by 24 shots to 20.
