mitt had his last wood to roll. If he
had succeeded in pushing the fourth wood through a yard or so, a big count would have resulted. It was not an easy shot as Grimmitt would have had to negotiate a narrow port in order to get to his objective, and
he was alightly too narrow.
When he failed, the Portuguese had the game on ice as they had to loso a seven in order to lose the match.
ONLY FAILURE
The only failures from the Recreio yesterday were C. F. Remedios and B. Basta who lost to A. M. Calman and J. C. Brown of Kowloon Docks after an extra head was played.
The score was 10-16 at the end of the match, and in the extra head the Kowloon Dock men scored a
single.
The ending was very satisfactory as the last three heads or so were played in darkness. The light on the extra head was particularly bad and it was difficult to see anything at all on the other side of the green?
