FIRST BOWLS INTERPORT MATCH ENDS IN
IN A TIE
HUGH WALLACE SAVES CONTEST FOR SHANGHAI
HONGKONG MEN START BADLY, RECOVER WELL
(By "Abo")
A tie in an Interport Lawn Bowis match does not seem to be a very satisfactory conclusion, especially as the rubber depends on the results of three matches; yet this was the official verdict yester. day at Kowloon Docks in the first game of the present Interport Series between Hongkong and Shanghai.
At the end of 21 leads the scores deadlocked ot 20-20. The were majority of the spectators were wail- Ing expectantly to see an extra head to decide the game and they were surprised to see the players shaking hands Indicating that the match was over.
From the purely playing point of view, there was zo Hitle between 1:0 two rinks that perhaps a draw was the fairest reflection of the contest. But what will be the position if Hong- kong and Shanghat each win one of games? The the remaining two Shanghai players will have come ull the way to the Colony without any definite result being reached.

Extra Head Played
In Shanghai
In the first game of the Interport Series in 1932, play- ed in Shangai, the scores were deadlocked at 16-16. An ex- tra head was played and Hongkong won by 17-16.
Both the skips who took part in the encounter were watching the match yesterday. They were U. M. Omar, who was leading the Hongkong rink, and A. J. Hall, who was then in charge of the Shanghai four. Both seemed surprised that an extra head was not played yesterday.
It does seem that there is a lack of unanimity of opinion on this point. The two Associa-. tions would do well to make a ruling, so that there will be no confusion in future.
