'BOB' DUNCAN ACCOUNTS FOR R. F. DA LUZ
(By "Abo")
No real upsets were created yesterday in the second round of the Lawn Bowls singles championship of the Colony. In nearly every case, results were according to expectations.
Nevertheless there were some very close finishes, and all in all a high standard of play was maintained,
On the Club de Recrelo green, J. C. Brown, John Watson and T. Coleman Won their matches. Brown brat R. A. Harding fairly comfortably, taking 17 heads to do so.

The game between Watson Field was a close one and the issue was in doubt right to the end. On the 35th head, the score was dead- locked at 19-19, but Watson registered two singles to win out.

A DISAPPOINTMENT The game between A. R. Daliah und II. G. Cooper on the Kowloon HG.C. Breen, which was expected to be one of the best of the day, proved to be disappointing, the former being for too steady for his opponent. Scoring two fours and a three, Dullah needed only 16 heads to beat Cooper by 21-0. The latter was successful on five heads.
E. Zimmera accounted for E. Tuck by 21-10 after leading all the way. while
C. F. Remedios, & former Shanghai champion, beat A. Steven by 21-11. Steven led 11-0 on the 13th head, but could not score again. Meanwhile his

MRS. MOODY'S RETURN TO WIMBLEDON Centre Court Victory Over Mrs. Hopman
Australian Captain's Plucky Effort: Mile. Jedrzejowska Loses A Set
By A. Wallis Myers
London, June 23. THE first rain fell at Wimbledon and at any other time the executive would have welcomed refreshment for their parched courts. But the schedule yesterday was exceptionally heavy.
The last 32 in both championship singles were due for alignment and when the sun departed behind heavy clouds there were qualms about the wather.
By that time, however, many of the big guns had fired their salutes to the crowds, the largest of the week, Mrs. Moody, "cen- tre-courted" won her first championship match since she sur- rendered a title secured for the seventh time three years ago. She defeated Mrs. Hopman, leader of the Australian team, 6-3, 6-4.

MRS. HOPMAN'S INDUSTRY
Mrs. Hopman did not mind that her Jockey cap had "gone with the wind" when she raced for Mrs. Moody's widest drives. Hor industry was indefatigable, nor was she with out sound tactical plans. Many times she forced the ex-champion to snatch at a running drive because her opponent's cool defence placed the last ball of the rally in the most awkward place.

Her vielous violence on the fore- hand and her more restrained blows on the backhand appeared to be mastering Mrs. King. Then
the whole situation was changed by the stubbornness and precision of her adversary.
Without the height or reach of the Pole, Mrs. King exchanged shot for shot so remorselessly that she won the second set.

Reflections On Fourth Cricket Test
(By "R. ABBIT"")
So now we know all about it. In the two previous Tests there were batting failures but une or two of the English batsmen managed to come off and disaster was averted. Now have all falled and England were
beaten.
The queer thing is that reports have steadily stated that the wicket was good, and even yester- day it was only said there were a few spots, though gather that it was taking spin. I simply cannot believe that there was not something very wrong, for the Australians did nearly, but not quite as badly as we dia.
WHERE FAILURE LAY
On this occasion at least we cannot blame our bowlers, They did very well, and, had their batsmen given them a reasonable chance they might have pulled the game off. But the batting was lamentable. Barnett will persist in trying to hook fast bowling before he has got a sight of the ball, Edrich stayed in nearly two hours for 28 but I gather he was scratching all the time. In fact his chief quaill- fleation to play for England seema to be that he
