TWO PROMINENT PLAYERS BEATEN IN FIRST ROUND

FEW SURPRISES SEEN IN BOWLS CHAMPIONSHIP

A HEAVY PROGRAMME ON OPENING DAY'S PLAY

(By "Abo")

Though the majority of the matches concluded as expected, yesterday's first round ties in the Lawn Bowls singles championship were not without surprises. Outstanding results of the day's pro- gramma were the defeats of two Recreio senior players, L. A. Gutierrez and C. G. Silva, both of whom were beaten by men who aro generally regarded as not quite up to their standard.

E. Zimmern, a Craigengower C.C. Junior player, was responsible for Gutierrez's exit. The latter, a former champion and runner-up, is one of the best singles players in the Colony, but Zimmern paid tile heed to re- putation when the two met at Kow- started well Gutierrez loon Docka. enough and led -1 after the sixth hend.

A TRANSFORMATION

C. G. Silva was put out on the same green by H. F. Harper. After fcading 10-11 at the end of the 19th head, the Recrelo player fell of badly, allowing Harper to score u three, a four and a three to terminate the match on the 22nd end. The transformation of the encounter was complete.

A. E. Coates, a former champion, inade no mistake in his game against

W C. Vas, winning by 21-13. B. Bradbury had no difficulty in ac- counting for a club-mate, A. J. Coelho, whom he beat by 21-5, Bradbury required only 16 heads to get through, scoring a four, three fhrees and two twos. Coelho was able to take only five singles.

The most one-sided game of the day was that in which A. Steven accounted for S. M. Rumjahn. The latter scored only two singles and Steven, helped by a four and a three, was through in 14 heads,

As generally expected, one of the best games was seen on the Police green where A. R. Dallah eliminated J. F. McGowan by 22-15, McGowan led 7-3 and 12-10 on the 18th head, whereafter Dallah forged ahead,

With a little bit of luck on the 24th head, Channing might have won his game against M. R. Abbas
