Grimmitt Loses Touch When Holding Long Lead

(By "Veritas")

A

A. E. Coates of Craigengower yesterday entered the final of the Hongkong lawn bowls singles championship! for the first time in his career when he defeated A. W. Grimmitt, former title-holder by 21 shots to 20. after 23 heads on the Hongkong Football Club green.

It was a close finish and this, plus the grimness of the match, engendered excitement. For the most part the bowling nover arose above mediocrity, and at times, with both players defeated by the queer run of the green. The heads were ex- ceedingly poor.

Australia, represented by F. Chehre and Mlas Grümeka Jack Crawford and Adrian won the Quist, yesterday doubles in the Davis Cup tie. against G. P. Hughes and to C. R. D. Tuckey of Britain by three sets to one, although curiously enough, if the Eng lishmen had not erred at crucial stages, they would have re. versed the result and would themselves have won in four

sets.

Hughes and Tuckey actually fed three-love in the third set and 4-1 In the fourth, only to lose both, thanks to a couple of brenk-throughs | on Tuckey's usually reliable service. A Reuter despatch says Crawford and Quist combined brilliantly, and in the first set forced the Englishmen to the baseline by means of wonder- ful smashing and fine lobbing.
