COLONY INTERPORT LAWN BOWLS TEAM SELECTED
PLAYERS NAMED
AFTER TRIAL HELD YESTERDAY
B. W. BRADBURY CAPTAIN AND MANAGER OF SIDE
(By "Abe")
It is truc, if trite, to say that no Selection Committee can please everybody. I have no doubt that the Lawn Bowls Selection Committee, which yesterday picked the Hongkong Interport team to visit Shanghai following the trial on the Civil Service C.C. green, have not met the wishes of all lawn bowlers in the Colony. But as this is something only to be expected, it is nothing for them to worry about.
What is really important is that the six players selected
the were best of the candidates seen in the trial. Actually 24 players had sub- mitted their names for consideration, but only 19 turned up for the game. All the Selectors had to do was to watch these players and pick the best six from the bunch.
As the result of the trial, the fol- lowing players were selected to re- present Hongkong:

Hurt In Match
J. H. Ho, the Chinese player, had bad luck in the final of the men's open singles against C. Tanasescu of Rumanla, at the 45th Annual Open Tourna- ment of the Sheffield and Hallamshire Lawn Tennis Club on July 29. The match had only just commenced when Ho, in trying a half-volley slipped and sprained his wrist. He pluckily continued but realising his hopeless position,
he retired after the end of the third game.
