MEMORIES OF TAIKOO'S FIRST BOWLS DEFEAT IN FIVE YEARS

NEW BOWLS

CHAMPION

NOW CERTAIN

All Previous Holders Eliminated

GRIMMITT AND BROWN FAVOURITES

With the defeat of i... A. Gu- tierrez (Club de Recreio) by A. W. Grimmitt (Civil Service) Trom the Open Singles Lawn Bowls Championship on Tues- day, the last of the former hold- ers has been eliminated, and new champion will now be crown- ed.

n

Of the sixteen players left to de- elde the fourth round, A. W. Grim-| mitt and J. C. Brown (Kowloon Docksi are considered the favourites. for the fille.

A. W. Grimmiti, although a con sistent winner of Intra-clubs ciyam-i phonships and one who has a splen- did record in local bowls, has never reached the final round of the open championship. Hik nearest up- pegach was in 1920 when he was eliminated in the semi-final round by R. F. Luz, after a very oven tus- sle.

J. C. Brown, one of the leading Kowloon Dock skips, was runner-up in 1927, when he was beaten by R. Lapsley, in an all-Docks Final.

TAIKOO DOCKS R, C. Held Shield Competition

CURIOUS COINCIDENCE

Three at least of the Taikoo team are playing to-day, Neil Drummond probably being the most prominent.

The name of the late J. Mac- Lachlan will recall attery fine bowler, who at one time. held the Singles Championship of the Colony. Now, by a strange coincidence; his son- in-law. Mr. A. Hyde Lay, is the present Colony champion. Geo. Gerrard, probably unknown to present day players, was one of the finest bowlers in the Colony, and splendid chap to play with,

or against; F. C. Richmond was another fine - player, and J. Mc- Murtrie, on his transfer to Shang- [hai, established a record as skip for the number of rink games won during a single season.
