BOWLER TURNS TO FISHING

By "Incog"

K. C. Hamilton, Kow- loon Bowling Green Club lawn bowler, "is packing up bowls to turn his at- tention to deep-sea fish- ing."

Hamilton told me this on Satur- day, when he spoke about the success he had

with met Sydney, Australia, in January- February this year. His bag during those two months included seven marlins, which he caught in company with Maxle Lawson, a prominent member of the Deep Sea Fishing Association in Sydney.
