B.W. BRADBURY BECOMES COLONY BOWLS CHAMPION

SHOWS SPLENDID FORM TO DEFEAT

J. A. DA LUZ

MATCH DULL EXCEPT IN THE LAST FEW HEADS

(By "Abe")

Except for a short while in the concluding stages of the game, the final of the Lawn Bowls singles championship between B. W. Bradbury, of the Craigengower C.C., and J. A. da Luz, of the Club do Recreio, was almost completely devoid of excitement, The young Portuguese player unfortunately chose this match to play one of his worst games of the season and he was beaten by 21-15 after 24 bends.
