B.W. BRADBURY BECOMES COLONY BOWLS CHAMPION
SHOWS SPLENDID FORM TO DEFEAT J. A. DA LUZ
MATCH DULL EXCEPT IN THE LAST FEW HEADS
(By "Ahu"
Except for a short while in the concluding stages of the game, the final of the Lawn Bowls singles championship between B. W. Bradbury, of the Craigengower CC., and J. A. da Luz, of the Club de Recreio, was almost completely devoid of excitement. The young Portuguese player unfortunately chose this match to play one of his worst games of the season and he was beaten by 21-15 after 24 heads,
