Shanghai, Sept. 11.
Shanghai beat Hongkong in the first interport lawn bowla match yesterday afternoon, by eighteen shots to fifteen, on the Police Lawn Bowls Club green. The Shanghai four were-CW. Glover (skip), T. G. Main (No. 3), C. Richards (No. 2) `and F. Medina (lead), Hongkong were represented by-A.. Hyde-Lay (skip), H. A. Alves (No. 3), J. F. McGowan (No. 2) and A. E. Coates (Lead). Although the match developed into a very close and exciting tussle in the closing stages, it was by no means a great game, being practically a duel between the opposing No. 38 and Skips. T. G. Main of the Recs, Shanghai's No. 3 was mainly responsible for Shanghai's win, after the first few ends he played great bowls.
