HONGKONG LAWN
LAWN BOWLERS PRAISED
IN SHANGHAI First Successful Team Since 1934: Six Wins
In Ten Matches
SHANGHAI, Sept. 28-Ending their triumphant tour, the Hongkong Lawn Bowls Interport side sail back to the Colony to-day on the ms. Tricolor, taking with them the Prentice Cup and a fine record of six victories out of ten matches against local sides. The visit of the southerners this year put an end to the long reign of Shanghai in the Interport content, the local bowlers having won every contest since 1934. It is now apparent that the Hongkong supporters were not far wrong when they claimed that the side composed of B. W. Bradbury, U. M. Umar, A. J. Hall, D. Duncan and two reserves, A. Bower and V. C. Dixon, was one of the strongest that they have ever sent, says the "Shanghai Times."
