Also Wondering

Lawn bowlers in Shanghai are also wondering why the First Interpart played last Sun- day was allowed to be tied, instead of an extra head being played.

The N.C.D. News, com- menting on the result, says:

"The fact that the game ended in a draw has givon riso to considerable comment as the general impression among local lawn bowlers was that in -the event of a tic.in any of the. | actual Interport series an extra end, or ends, would be played so that a definite conclusion could be reached, this having been done a few years ago when the Hongkong team were visitors to Shanghai. If Shanghai win one of the next two matches and Hongkong the other the series will result in a draw, the way matters now stand. The reason why the extra and was not played is awaited in Shanghai with great interest.
