Thirtoon matches were decided yostorday in the first round of the Opon' Rinks Bowls Cham- pionship out of the 14 arranged by the Compoti- tion Sub-Committee, only one being postponed. Lengue. Most promising of the lot
Several upsets were registered, biggest of which was the de- foat of last year's champion rink, skipped by C. G. Silva. Their conquerors were a rink from the Indian R.C. led by M. R. Abbas, who won by 18-14.
Another surprise was the victory

Scoring was on the low side in the match in which J. Hoosen, A. Bakar, A. O. Madar and M. R. Abbas put out A. F. Noronha, J. A. Luz, J. E. Noronha and C. G. Sliva. The champions had been strengthened by the inclusion of J. A. Luz in place of C. A. Lopes; yet as a rink dey were not nearly as impressive as they were Inst sennon. They had established a lead of 5-2 after the Aith head, as the result of a rather lucky three, and at the end of the 8th, they were 8-3 in front.
Their three was scored with a lucky shot by Silva. With threel against him, Silva sent down # heavy one, and had two wicks beforn carrying the Jack for threef
However, the lead was reduced to 10-7 on the 14th, and on the 15th| the Indians were themselves lucky to get four-the biggest count of the match. They were lying only: one, and Silvo, with his last wood, took out his second shot instead.
Taking the lead at 11-10, the In- dians followed up with a two and al single to go to 14-10, and though they conceded one on the 18th, they had two braces on the subsequent heads. Thus when the last head was played, Silva needed eight to win and seven to tie. This proved an, impossible task and they look three to reduce the deficit.
