(By "Sagax")

A. Hyde Lay, of the Kowloon Cricket Club, and title holder of 1933, had a close call in the lawn bowls singles championship yesterday afternoon when he met J. E. Noronha on the Kowloon Dock R. C. green where he won by 21 shots to 17 after 24 heads had been played.

The clouratess of the scores in no way indicates the standard of play for, taken all round, the bowls was not good, neither were the conditions for that matter. A wet and heavy green to which was inter added a Constant drizzle, marred what might easily have proved a match worthy of the two playera.

At one stage a run-nway victory far Hyde Lay was clearly indented and was only towards the Inter part of the game that Noronha found weight and gaze a better arcount of himself.

The former champion was playing the more consistent bowls Ad ni though he was far from beg bril Hant he played well under condi- ilons and gave glimpses of the form which earried him to victory two years ogo. He showed a distinct dislike for The

With honours slightly, in their favour the South African cricket tourists were held to their second drawn match to-day when they concluded their fixture with the M. C. C. at Lord's where the English side suffered the ignominy of having to follow-on against an opposition total of 297 runs.

Bowlers held the upper hand in the series of matches brought to a close to-day and only four centuries were scored. Yorkshire, after an indifferent start, trounced Gloucestershire in the County Championship, while Sussex, at one time considered the strongest of the Southern counties, suffered another defeat.
