LOSER'S PLUCKY FIGHT AFTER NERVOUS START
(By SHORT HEAD.)
FOR the first time in his bowling career Alec Hyde Lay (K.C.C.)
has entered the Final Round of the Open Championship. Yesterday he beat A. E. Coates (Craigengower) by 21-17 after 25 heads of thrilling bowls on the Police green.
Hyde Lay was more confident than hi sopponent, who was nerv- ous in the opening stages, and fully deserved his win after leading throughout from the second end.
The K. C. C. representative played a very safe game otherwise he would have won by a more convincing margin. Often when lying for a single point he was content to play safe with his last wood in-
stead of attempting another draw.
