FIRST BOWLS INTERPORT MATCH ENDS

HUGH WALLACE

SAVES CONTEST FOR SHANGHAI

HONGKONG MEN START BADLY, RECOVER WELL

(By "Abo")

A tio in an Interport Lawn Bowls match does not seem to be a very satisfactory conclusion, especially as the rubber depends on the results of three matches; yet this was the official verdict yester- day at Kowloon Docks in the first game of the present Interport Series between Hongkong and Shanghai.

At the end of 21 heads the scores deadlocked at 20-20. The majority of the spectators were wait- ing expectantly to see an extra head to decide the game and they were surprised to see the players shaking hands indicating that the match was

over.

From the purely playing point of view, there was so little between the twa rinks that perhaps draw was the fairest reflection of the contest. 'But what will be the position if Hong- kong and Shanghal each win ene at the remaining two games?

Both the skips who took part in the encounter word watching the match yesterday. They were U. M. Omar, who was leading the Hongkong rink, and A. J. Hall, who was then in charge of the Shanghai four.

Both seemed surprised that an extra head was not played yesterday,

It does seem that there is a lack of unanimity of opinion on this point. The two Assocla- tions would do well to make a ruling, so that there will be no confusion in future,
