All lovers of horse-flesh will no doubt be turning up to-morrow at Happy Valley to see the opening of the second half of the Hong- kong racing under the auspices of the Hongkong Jockey Club. Racing fans, I am sure, have patiently been waiting for the re- sumption of these popular extra meetings, but it is obviously not to be expected that all the Australian and China ponies will be run- ning true to their best form after a suspension of nearly three and a half months.

Bradbury Qualifies For Final Of Lawn Bowls Singles By

B. W. Bradbury, of the Craigengower C.C., yesterday qualified to meet J. A. Luz in the final of the Lawn Bowls singles champion- ship by beating A. R. Dallah, of the Indian R.C., by 21-14 after 24 heads on the Club de Recreio green.

Playing from the ninth head with 11 a lead of 8-0 over his opponent, Bradbury Was very

confident throughout the course of the game. 16 While he was very seldom brilliant, he was extremely steady; and it was this steadiness, coupled with the shaky piny of his opponent, which eventually gave him a fully-deserved victory.

(By "Abe")

In their match against E. C. Fincher and A. V. Remedios in the semi-finals of the United Services R. C. hardcourt doubles tennis championship yesterday, the Tsui brothers found their task made considerably lighter by the weakness of the oppposition in the first two sets, which they won with the loss of only three games. And though they had to fight hard for their points later on, the two-set lead which they had already established gave them an advantage which must have proved as comforting to them as it was dishearten. ing to Fincher and Remedios.

Without having to give of their best, the Chinese pair quickly claim- ed the two opening sets. Then Fincher and Remedios made a lont- delayed recovery, taking the third set after ten games, but they lost the fourth, and with it the match, by the same score. The Tsuis won by 3-2, 6-1, 4-6, 6-4.

Apart from the fact that the sun was shining down very strongly, con- ditions were almost ideal for good play. There was none of that cross- court wind which had bothered so many contestants in the course of the present tournament; yet good play was seen only at rare intervals. It could never be a great match with Fincher and Remedios adhering so stubbornly to the same tactics in the first two sets when the deadliness of the brothers' volleying should have indicated to them that the drive was not the best weapon against a pair so firmly ensconced at the net, Not until the two opening sets had been lost did they realise the fully of such a policy. In the third set, they threw up some lobs, which were
