COLONY LAWN BOWLERS SET UP TWO RECORDS IN THE INTERPORT SERIES
WIDEST MARGIN
OF
VICTORY; HIGHEST TOTAL OF SHOTS
B. W. BRADBURY AND MEN 'WIN IN TWO STRAIGHT
Starting off by dropping a five in the first hoad, Hongkong made a splendid recovery in the Second Bowls Intorport match against Shanghai yostorday, and finally finished up by winning the encounter by 40-14- the widest margin of victory in the series. The total of 40 shots scored by Hongkong also represents the highest ever registered by either side.
Having already won the First Interport, played on Saturday fast, Hongkong therefore wins the 1939 series. This is the first time the Colony has won up north since 1932 when, incidentally, U. M. Omar skipped all three rinks.
NARROW WIN FOR VISITORS
Shanghai, Sept. 10.
Shanghal, Sept. 20.
The Hongkong lawn bowlers, who failed to win the opening friendly
matches against the local Clubs by the narrowest of marglus and who scored an upset by taling the Inter-| port series opener on Saturday, to- day humbled Shanghai's best players in the easiest manner by 40-14 in order to gain Hongkong's ninth In- terpart victory, following a tersa- tlonal Shanghal opening.
