PAIRS ALSO LOSE

Hongkong yesterday figured prominently, but not too successfully in the Empire Games lawn bowls contests at White City. Arthur: Hyde-Lay, our champion, played two singles matches, losing the first to Macdonald of Canada by a wide margin, but covering himself in glory by beating Keys of New Zealand. Earlier in the day, Keys had suffered defeat at

the hands of Baker, the Rhodesian player.

Hyde-Lay played magnificently to win his second match by 21-19, and it recorded Hongkong's first success in the Games.

Fred Rapley and Cooper played fine fighting bowls in their pairs encounter against Hutchinson and Lang- ford of Canada, and were only beaten by three shots after a clever exhibition of bowls.

Hongkong's rink, comprising Ramsay, J. F. McGowan, G. H..Sherriff and Hughie Nish (skip), suffered two reverses. In the first match they lost |- rather heavily to the Canadian rink by 19-10, but later they gave a fine account of themselves against New Zea- land, losing only by 18-16..
