OPEN SINGLES FINAL

By "TOUCHER”

Hongkong's Empire Games representative Eric Liddell and Colony 1953 Champion M. B. Hassan got through the semi-finals of the Colony Open Singles Lawn Bowle Championship yesterday to qualify for the final to be played on Sunday, September 18, at Taikoo.

Before a good gathering of enthusiastic spectators, Liddell played superb bowls to defeat his more favoured and more reputed opponent, Raoul Laz, by the convincing score of 21-10 after 20 enda.

British Compromise Enables Valdes To Wear White Shorts

London, Sept. 6.

Nino Valdes, the Cuban Heavyweight, will be allowed to wear his white shorts when he meets Britain's Cham- pion, Don Cockell, at the White City on September 13.

But they must be covered with dark material, except for two inches of white showing down each side,

This decision, by an Emergency Committee of the British Boxing Board of Control today, was accepted by Valdes' manager.

SCAA WIN THEIR FIRST MASSED START RACE FROM REME CC

By “NTACA”

A new landmark in Colony cycling history was reached on Sunday, when the SCAA won their first Open Massed Start Race, taking the "Hop Yick" Shield away from the REME CC, holders for the past two years.

Their victory was the result of first-class riding and really good Team work, Au Cheung-sing, Ng Kal-man and Lam Hong rode together, with the leading bunch, throughout the race, refusing to split up when attacks were made. It was only over the last few miles that Lam Hong fell back, stiff managing to Onish in fourth place.

FINE SOLO WIN

At the three miles mark, just ultimately before the first climb of the longer side of Route 1, Bock derailed his chain, which was the signal for an immediate attack by Bouch or the Hussary and the REME Toom. The field spread out over the climb, and Beck caught up to form a group of seven riders. Bock once more lost his chain at eight miles, but the glow pace of the bunch cabled him to catch up within a few miles.
