HONG KONG DAILY PRESS,

CHAMPIONS MUST IMPROVE

TO WIN

Reshuffling In Several Teams

RECREIO SHOULD MAKE HISTORY

Further progress was made during the course of the week in the Open Lawn Bowls Championships, and the most talked of match was undoubtedly the abandoned gaine between Jones and Hyde-Lay on the Football Club green. Strange to say, It took the players quite a while before they came to the decision, and It is only fair to the Club concerned that if any complaint was to be made it should have been made after the two trial heads. The question of the protest was dealt with by the Sub-Commit- tee of the Lawn Bowls Association at a meeting held yesterday evening.

The results of last week's league games came off as expected. and the champions are having quite a hard time in order to check the steady advances of Club de Recreio, who are only two points behind. As was the case last week the Champions won their match on the laurel of one rink, and were it not for Luz's Your they would undoubtedly have gone under.

Omar's rink lost to Chalmer's were lying three or four, and at foar by two shots. At one stage The C.C.C. rink was left badly tehind and by dint of some clever bowling Omar and Gomes helped Lo ie the score. It was on the st head that the Talkoo's skip ade a

Omar was poorly supported by both Summons and Arculli. These two players invariably sent down woods elther wide or short. As for Chalmers be played a great game and belped his side to win in no uncertain manner

The herd of this match was R. F. Luz a former Colony Singles Champion He was right on top of form and ably backed up by s men he was able more or less to dietate to N. Drummond. Els vic- lory by 12 shots enabled the hom

ters to take both points

CIVIL SERVANTS WIN

The Civil Servants won thelr match against the Kowloon Docks by six shots, thanks to the good ptk put in by J. Hollidge's four. F. Jones' rink was unable to stem the tide against J. V. Ramsay's

four and had to admit defeat by two shots, while Deakin's rink lost to Cooper's four by one shot. The brunt of the whole match was devolved upon Holidge and his men and they came off with nying colours, winning by the handsome margin of 9 shots

ab-

The Indians had an unlucky day when they went down to the Po- lice by nine shots. They materially weakened by the sence of Daliah who was indis- posed and M. Y. Ada although, a good substitute was unable to turn the figures into credit.

Minu's rink was the most suc- cessful scoring 27 shots as against J Shepherd's 13. In this respect he was very well supported by 8. Abbas. M. Rumjahn and M. R. Both these players did yeoman service.

As usual A. O. Madar's tink war badly defeated. Mair's tour had 20 shots advantage over them. Poor bowls were served by the Indians in this match, while in the other game Adal's four had to bow to Holland's men by three shots.

BOWLING GREEN GOOD Craigengower "B" visited Bowl- ing Green on Saturday and was no match or the home team and went down badly. The absence of Coelho and M. A, R. Souza in Ros- selet's rink caused some res- huffling and Modi and Dr. Karanjia were brought in at the last minute. Modi playing No. 2 to G Karanjla No. 2 to Rosselet, while, A. M. Omar who was No. 3 to Field since the beginning of the dessou was transferred to Roaselet's rink

as No. 3 while K. M. Omar took his place.

The match was rather even at': one time. The game between" Gill's Tour and A. M. Holland and his then resulted in a win for the for- mer by a single shot. During the first few heads the home teari

RECREIO IMPRESSIVE Recreio had a very easy win over the K.G.C, beating them by the large margin of 32 shots. C. G. Silva was mainly responsible for

so large a win, his rink beating Phillip's rink by 24. shots. C. L. Xavier, F. V. Ribero and C. G. Silva all played well, so did J. E. Noronha but Silkstone had slightly the better of him. Bebbington and

Hyde were of and were inclined to be short leaving Phillips to do

all the work but unfortunately he

was also ofT.

P. X. Silva's rink's beat Fincher's rink by 9 shots in a very poor'game. J. I. Basto was the only player of the eight to play well

L

Hyde-Lay's rink hal A good fight with Alves rink and only won by one shot after having a lead of 12-2 in the early stages of the game. All four of Hyde Lay's rink played "well and had the upper hand of Alves until ten time when

Alves and his helpers proved tremendously and did well to only lose by the one shot. The Recreio players had much the better of the game and I cannot see many teams beating them on their own green. I rather fancy their chances for the Championship and am more im → pressed with them than I am with the Craigengower "A."

his last wood either saved a big-TO-DAY'S PROSPECTS count or draw for the shot. He was playing an outstanding game. Modi who played No. 2 was by far the best performer in this and was sending down some very fine woods,

The Rink between Rosselet, and Guy was also a thrilling" affair. At one time Posselet and his men were over ten shots up. A. S. Rus- sell and J. Watson in nearly every head had the better of Whiteman and Karanjia and it was left to A. M. Omar or Rosselet to change a losing head into a winning one..

The former however was the deadliest player in this rink and down head sifter was sending

Early in the game the Samese discovered the brothers weakness overhead and scooped their re- turns up for the brothers to send into the net time and bme again.

The overhead of the visitors, on the contrary was rarely at fault. Sanch in particular being effec- tive, Champion of Slam, he has

which invariable found his op- ponents guessing.

The Siamese did not play a forceful game but their plac- ing was generally so perfect that anything further was not necessary, and there were few long rallies.

The Tsu brothers began the second set well but after two-all had been called, they went to pieces and did not win another game.

Flaying away to-day the Cham- piors will have to be on the alert against the Kowloon Docks. They have been playing wowls of Buca a bewildering standard that one is prone to ask whether the Cham- plons will have to be on the alert: bowlers. Invariably they have to depend on the winnings of one rink alone to cover up the deficits of the other two rinks, and I am afraid that one day this covering up business will be found to be on the short side and a first class sensation will be the result.
