PORTUGAL ELIMINATES INDIA IN SPLENDID MATCH
HIGH STANDARD BOWLS PLAYED THROUGHOUT
RIPE EXPERIENCE GAVE WINNERS ADVANTAGE
(By "Abe")
Helped materially by a six on the 16th head when they were trailing behind at 13-10, Portugal (L. F. Xavier, H. A. Alves, C. G. Silva and F. X. M. da Silva) qualified for the semi-finals of the Gutierrez International bowls competition yesterday by heating India (J. Hoosen, D. M. Khan, A. R. Minu and A. K. Minu) by 21-10 on the Kowloon B.G.C. green.
As I predicted last week, the Indions made a good fight of it, and the issue was open until the very last wood of the notch, had been played. It was a splendid game all through. A high standard was main- tained, good heads being the rule rather than the exception.

R. B. Proud Takes Only 48 Minutes To Make 102
London, Aug..3.
R. B. Proud, the Winchester captain, scored the fastest century of the season at Lord's yesterday when, playing for the Rest, he trounced the Lord's Schools bowling to the tune of 102 in 48 minutes. E. R. T, Holmes, who is at present leading for the Law- rence Trophy, for which, of course, Proud is not qualified, scored the hundred in 65 minutes.

He could not have done the latter shot any better had he desired and it has to be admitted that the woods ran kindly for him. On the other band, he had set out to play the shot and his success was a just re- ward for such a beautiful wood.
