COLONY PLAYERS better quaRTETTE ON DAY'S PERFORMANCE

(By "Sagax")

With the majority of the players rarely reaching the same high standard of efficiency as has been shown by them at different periods during the present visit, the Shanthai lawn bowls interport players suffered their second defeat of the series yesterday when they encoun- tered the combined Craigengower C.C. and Indian R.C. rink on the former's green. The local side secured a deserving victory by a margin of 20' shots to 11.
