Final Interport Bowls Match To-Day

HONG KONG MUST WIN TO SQUARE SERIES

BUT SHANGHAI WILL RETAIN THE TROPHY!

(By "SKIP")

...

ALTHOUGH much of the interest has been robbed from the last

Interport Lawn Bowls match by the unfortunate fiasco last Sunday, there are sure to be a large number of "fans" at Club de Re- creio to witness the final match of the series this afternoon," .. The result of the match will have little bearing on the destina- tion of the Prentice Cup, whch goes back to Shanghai in any case: It will be interesting to see, however, whether our visitors win the series or just retain the Trophy, as Australia did with the “ashes,”

After their overwhelming victory] last Wednesday, it is only natural that the Shangai captain has select ed the same four to represent the Northern port. The teams will therefore be:

Shanghai:-E, L. R. Swartzell, J. M. G. Lopes, A. M. Gutierrez and H. Wal- lace (Skip).

Hong Kong:-J. A. da Luz, F. X. M. da Silva, C. G. Silva and U. M. Omar (Skip).

Of the local players, three have the advantage of playing on

own green, a subject on which

As runner-up in the Open Sing- les, it is to be expected that Joe Luz will have the advantage over Swartzell, although he has by по means had the better of his op- ponents in the two strictly unoffi-

J. Arnold, the Hampshire bata- mán, has not been re-engaged by the county for next season. Tho decision, it is understood, has been taken on the grounds of economy.

Arnold has, with the exception of P. Mead, scored more runs for Hampshire than any other profes- sional, though this season, for the first time in his career, he missed. his 1,000 runą, He qualified from Oxford in 1980, and in the follow- ing season he played in the first Test match against New Zealand, and also in the Gentlemen v.

THE proposal to limit the number of T

clubs a golfer may carry to 14 was recently passed by the Royal and Ancient Club at St. Andrews.

When a similar motion was submit ted at Tast year's meeting it failed to receive the requisite two-thirds major- ity. The limitation rule will probably come into operation us and from Jan. 1- next. qua

It is the view of Cotton that, every shot in the game can be executed by a player carrying 14 clubs."With the limitation rule more skilful shota will be required and fewer, coarse shots will be played." he says.
