The three Indian R.C. players loft in the Open Bowls singles championship all won their matches yesterday in the Fourth Round to qualify for the quarter-finals of the competition.
Amongst those eliminated yesterday were H. A. Alves, who was beaten by his club-mate, C. F. Remedios, former champion of Shanghai; and A. E. Coates, a former Colony champion, who was rather surprisingly beaten by M. R. Abbas.
The two matches on the Civil Ser- vice C.C. green which were expected to be close affairs did not turn out lo) the detailed be so. A. R. Dallah was playing for too well for C. M.

To win bowls matches a player frequently needs "loss." Abbas had it yesterday while Coates did not. Twice Coates gave away the shot when he was lying, and on at least one occasion Abbas was lucky either to add to the count or to take the shot.
On the whole, Coates was not play- ing up to his usual form, having difficulty in getting his weight almost right through the match.

As expected, the match between C. F. Remedios and H. A. Alves_pro- duced a splendid struggle. There was never very much in it, although Remedios held a slight advantage early all the way. On the 7th head, winner led 6-2; at the 12th he was 9-5;
