Review Of League And Open Tourney Matches

"By B. R. Swiller

The bowls matches decided last Saturday provided several sur- prises.

The Yacht Club's victory over the Hong Kong Electric, also in the Third Division, came as another surprise. The former, up to last Saturday, had not won a single match, whereas their opponents were actually second in the Table.

A fieldsman got the ball, a good return; and the wicket- keeper whisked off the balls.

"I've been playing club cricket for five years." Dennis said afterwards,""; and this is the first time I've ever been run out.” And when Mr. Marshall was told how he'd unwittingly taken a wicket, he said: "It's the most extraordinary thing that's ever happened in my broadcasting experience" And with that famous chuckle, added: "I must apologise most humbly to Mr. Dennis--for being the ghost that ran him out.*
