IN FINE FORM AGAINST MALAYS
DALLAH'S BRILLIANCE UNAVAILING IN. BOWLS INTERNATIONAL TIE
By "Abe"
India (J. Hoosen, D. M. Khan, A. R. Minu and A. K. Minu) entered the second round of the Gutierrez Shield International bowls competition by beating Malaya (A. M. Wahab, A. Bakar, M. R. Abbas and A. R. Dallah) yesterday by 20-16 on the Hongkong F. C. Green. They will now meet Portugal, the winners to enter the semi-final.
The Indians fully deserved their victory, being by far the better all- round rink. Their three front men, Hoosen, Khan and A. R. Minu, com- pletely outplayed Wahab, Bakar and Abbas, and left their skip with little 16 On the other hand, Dallah

TOURNEY COMMENCES
By "Abo"
As the result of the withdrawal of Major F. T. Daines from the singles championship, only four matches- one in the singles and three in the doubles-will be played to-day in the hardcourt tennis championships or caused by the United Services R.C. at King's Park. The tournament commences this afternoon.
The only singles tie is between S. A. Gray and Major L. A. Newnham. The former is a hard-hitting player but is rather prone to make mistakes, cas Major Newnham is usually whereas very steady. If Gray can cut down his margin of error able to get through, he should-be
