Ten shots up at the end of the first five heads; 21-10 down at the end of the 15th.
These figures tell fairly accurately, without any further des. cription, the story of the defeat of A. E. Carey's rink in the Lawn Bowls rinka championship on the Kowloon B.G.C. green yesterday afternoon, by the four led by C. G. Silva.
