However, he was made to go all the way. In the second set he led 4-2 but realising that if match were allowed to go to the final set there would probably be a repeti- tion of Monday's encounter, the IR.C. player threw all his reserves into the fray to win the next four games in a row for the set and the match.

A rather unusual incident has arlsen from the semi-final lawn bowls pairs tle between H. Nish and T. Robson, and J. Gibson and W. V. Flold.

It will be recalled that on Tues- day, when the K.B.G.C. pair were leading 20-16 on the 20th, head, rain caused play to be abandon- ed.

Reluctant to make the trip to the Valley, with all the resultant bother of transporting woods, the Your players, all of whom are ro- sident in Kowloon, arranged to play the remaining head at K.F.C. the following day.

V. Chittenden, however, who la bowla convener of Kowloon Foot- ball Club, besides being a mein- ber of the special competitions committee of H.K.L.B.A., ruled that this action was not permis. sable and that the match MUST be concluded at Civil Service.
