"A TEXT-BOOK OPENING "Standing room was full when Austin served, and after a short rally gained the first point pro- pitiously from a neat voiley. Two rather wild returns of service help- ed him to 40--15, and then, with text-book opening, he was able to come in for a cool volley, which e ball well out of Allison's put reach. Allison måde errors in his service game, which Austin won to

lead at the interval, and the result Was an exaggerated reliance on ability to win service games; these were consequently lost by each for the Arst five games. Allison brake the sequence by holding his for 4-2; Austin won the next, show. ing a glimpse of his early tactical mastery, but Allison romped through the eighth, which he won with two service aces game to Austin 5-4, and Allison served with a 6-4 objective, which was vital; he won the game to 15, and America led 2-1 in sets at the interval.

Happy Valley Pair Win

At the Kowloon B.G.C. yester- day. J. Cavanagh and M. J. Medina defeated J. Shepherd and S. Eccleshall in the semi-finals of the Open Pairs of the Lawn Bowls Championship by 23 shots to 14.

Both pairs played a mediocre type of bowls especially Medina and Eccleshall who were rather erratic and inclined to leave too much on their respective skips.

Considering that this was semi-finals the bowling was of a poor standard,
