BEATS JACKIE NORONHA

BY 21-1 IN SECOND

ROUND OF OPEN SINGLE

ANOTHER "GIANT" PUT OUT BY C. M. SILVA

(B7 "Abe")

Playing against G. H. Sherriff in the third round of the Lawn Bowls singles championship, J. E. Noronha, of the Club de Recrein and considered by many to be one of the best leads in the Colony, received the biggest trouncing of his bowls carcer on the Hongkong F.C. green yesterday when he was beaten by 21-1.

Contrary to general expectations, this proved to be the most one- sided game in the open champlon- chips to date.

Noronha took a single on the first hend, but thereafter he was com- pletely outplayed. Sherrif scored on the next 13 heads, and renched his 21 with a three, six twos and six singles.

Sherriff himself would probably be the first to admit that the final score Battered him; there were times when Norontu unluckily ether missexl the Juck or one of the winner's woods by a fraction of an inch. On the whole, however, Sherriff was for more consistent on green which turned out to be heavy and trieky Noronhu could not setile down ami won particularly weak on the long kends.

Silva proved that ils lapse was only by registering a three on the 15th which took him to 18-9. Shugies were scored on all the remaining hends, three of which went to the young Portuguese, who reached his 21 when Duncan had 63,
