HONGKONG BOWLERS SHOULD DO BETTER AT CARDIFF

THAN THEY DID AT VANCOUVER

Faster Greens Will Suit KING AND QUEEN OF CYCLISTS

Our Players,

Fred Winn

Winn Says

By "TOUCHER"

Hongkong will do much better at lawn bowls in the Empire Games at Cardiff next year than she did in the Vancouver Games in 1954.

This opinion was expressed by no less well-known a lawn bowls personality than Mr F. Winn, "Fred" to his many friends, who is on a holiday visit to Hongkong together with two other Australian lawn bowlers, Rex Law and Harry Hackett.

Fred was

"Yes, bowls--we don't ust the term lawn bowls in Australia-s a wonderful gume, reminisced Fred in the course of a pleasant chat I had with him ut the Palm Court Hotel where he is staying.

"People join the navy to see the world, but I have found a better way, that of joining the bowls fraternity to sec the world, I have even dined off gold plate, lunched and played bowls at Windsor Castle and have been treated like ruyalty in a great number of countries, ali in the name of this grand #port**

MUCH ENHANCED

Asked why he should rule Hongkong's chances very high in the next Empire Gomes, Fred replied that the greens in Cardiff, on which he has played though not as fast as those in Australia are very much faster than those in Vancouver, and the prospeels of countries accustomed to playing on fast greens are therefore very much enhanced,

Although such countries 08 Canada, South Africa and Rhodesia have done well in pasi Empire Games because most of the matches. were played on heavy greens, he does hot think that they will do as well at Cardiff,

England, he thinks, will be a strong contestant In the past, the English Bowling Association has not been able to send ito best team for financial reasons, having to pick bowlers who can afford to pay their own ex- penses. But in the next Empire Games, when travelling expenses for the Home countries will be negligible, England may be able to field her strongest team.

WORLD'S BEST

Japan's male and female cycling champions were recently crowned at a gala cycle festival held in Tokyo after the professional bicycle racing championships. Top honours went to 21-year-old Michiyo Hatada, right, and 24-year-old Nobuo Takano, Missi Hatada outcycled her rivals with a record time of 4 min. 50 sec. in the 3,200- metre event. Takano's time in the 4,000-metre event was 6 min, 7.2 sec.—Express Photo.
