INCIDENT

DELIBERATELY BREAKS UP HEAD

UNDER MISTAKEN IMPRESSION THAT THE JACK WAS BURNED

(By "Sagax")

An amazing incident, one that should never occur in competitive lawn bowls marred the semi-final match in the open Singles Champion- ship of the Colony on the Kowloon Cricket Club green yesterday afternoon when R. Duncan, the Kowloon Bowling Green Club player, qualified for his third final of the season by beating G. N. Mitchell, of the Kowloon Dock R. C., by 21 shots to 19 in a match that was of quite a high standard of bowls, and there were many interesting heads on which both players sent down some brilliant woods.

During one of the heals Mitchell : thoughtlessly caused an awkward altuntion to arise by deliberately dis- turbing the woods, being under the mistaken impression that the jack had. been burned. It was only after long. deliberation between the two players and the umpire that the head was

"burned" by agreement and replayed SUCCESSFUL

but if Duncan had demanded a ruling. much unpleasantness might easily have resulted,

It was an unfortunate incident from the point of view that Duncan, who was then lending by eight shots to two and was out-playing his opponent, was so completely upset that he all but lost the match. It would have been great pity had he not qualified as he was, on the day's form, the better of the two and fully deserved

The umpire was re-joining the ends of the string when Mitchell walked up to the head from the opposite end and threw two woods back. Shouts from the spectators soon informed him that the head was not burned but Mitchell, after a brief hesitation.and twe. merely replied that was that, having disturbed two woods, the head would have to be replayed in any cuse.

The umpire instantly called for the Book of tuica but whilst it was being got from the club house Mitchell cleared the head of the remaining woods. He then picked up the jack and sent that back also.

The only assistance the umpire' re.. ceived from the rules was that "If a bowl, whilst at rest, is burned by either side, it may be replaced by the opposite side, or, in the latter's option, be allowed to remain where it
