McCutcheon and Eastman Provide Surprises
U. M. OMAR'S DIFFICULT TASKS
PROGRESS IN THE SINGLES Championship is, until the commencement of the International matches, the main interest for bowlers at the moment. The competition is down to the last 16 and their matches will be played next week,^*
... During the past week there were two great surprises when J. McCutcheon eliminated A. M. Omar 21-19, and A. Eastman beat H. A. Alves 21-13. The two victima were expected to get through to the quarter-finals, if not the semi-finals.
