BRIGHT BATTING
Another County Cricketer To Go
Following: the news that Middlesex are not re-engaging Hulme and Hart for next sea- son comes the announcement that Surrey are dispensing with the services of Thomas McMurray. This 28 years old batsman showed high promise some time ago, and played a number of fine innings for the county. Incidentally, he can claim to have played in a Test, for he fielded as a substitute in the Oval Test against the Australians in 1934, and earned rounds of applause by some fine work. Brooks the Surrey wicketkeeper, who ro- cently lost his place in the first team to Mobey, has been engaged for another year, with a hint that next season may be his last with the club.

Players Left In Quarter-Finals
(By "Abc")
The three Indian R.C. players left 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 to be so. A. R. Dallah was playing far loo well for C. M. Silva, last year's 352 giant-killer," who could not find his -touch. Dallah led 12-0 the sixth

EXCITING TUSSLE
As expected, the match between C. F. Remédios and II. A. Alves pro- duced a splendid struggle. There was never very much in it, although Remedios held A sight advantage early all the way. On the 7th head, the winner led 6-2; at the 12th he was 9-5; at the 16th, 12-7; but then Alves staged a fine recovery between the 17th
and the 20th, which not only enabled him to draw on level terms but actually to pass his opponent. Alver registered two, three, three and one to lead 10-12 on the 20th.
At the 22nd, Alves was leading 10-13 as the result of a two, but he got stuck thore and never scored gain, whereas his opponent went on to his game by having one; two, two, one and three in successive heads.
The game between A. B. Minu and A. M. Omar was another close
affair. The evenness of the struggle attested by the scores:-8-7 for Minu on the 8th, 0-8 for Omar on the 9th, 2-11 for Minu on the 14th, 13-13 on he 16th, 15-15 on the 10th, 10-16 on the 21st, 10-10 for Omar on the 22nd and 19-18 on the 24th.

In the 25th head, however, Minu scored a three to win out.
Also on the Recrelo green, H, White defeated W. GM by 21-12 on the 20th head. This game was not as exciting as the Minu-Omar encounter. At ena slago White was leading 18-0 and though I made a partial recovery |ho had left his effort toa Inte.
