The president of the Rugby Union, Major-General Busli A. Hill, has

Also Wondering
Lawn bowlers in Shanghal are also wondering why the First Interport played last Sun- day was allowed to be tled, instead of an extra head being played.
com-
The N.C.D. News, menting on the result, says:
"The fact that the game ended in a draw has given risa to considerable comment as the general impression among local lawn bowlers was that in the event of a tie in any of the actual interport series an extra end, or ends, would be played so that a definite conclusion could be reached, this having been done a few years ago when the Hongkong team were visitors to Shanghal. If Shanghai win one of the next two matches and Hongkong the other the series will result In a draw, the way matters now stand. The reason why the extra and was not played Is awaited in Shanghai with great interest."
