CHAMPIONS, RUNNERS-UP OUT OF RINKS TOURNEY MANY UPSETS INI

FIRST ROUND OF Exciting Baseball Seen During Week-End

CHAMPIONSHIP

R. BASA MAKES GALLANT BUT UNAVAILING EFFORT

(By "Abe")

Thirteen matches were decided yesterday in the first round of the Open Rinks Bowls Cham- pionship out of the 14 arranged by the Compoti- tion Sub-Committee, only one being postponed.

Several upsets were registered, biggest of which was the de- fent 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

of E. Zimmern's Craigengower C.C.

B.G.C. four, while A. E. Carey's four, who were runners-up last year, were eliminated by their club-mates, F. Channing, R. Bus, W. Mair and J. C. Fender.

Scoring was on the low side in the match In which J, Hoosen, A. Bakar,, A. O. Madur and M. R. Abbas put out A. F. Noronha, J. A. Luz, J. E. Noronha and C. C. Silva. The champions had been strengthened by the inclusion of J. A. Luz in place of C. A. Lopes; yet as a rink they were not nearly as impressive as they were last season. They had established a lead of 5-2 after the Afth 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 tree against him, Sliva seni down a heavy one, and had two wieks before carrying the jack for three!

However, the lead was reduced to 15th 10-7 on the 14th, and on the the Indians were themselves lucky to get a four-the biggest count of the match. They were lying only one, and Silva, with his last wood, took out hla second shot instead.

Taking the lead at 11-10, the In-1 dians followed up with a two and a Aingle 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. le. This proved an impossible task and they took three to reduce the deficit,

The Indians were alightly stendleri as a rink, and played well at the critical stages.

A GOOD PERFORMANCE Leading all the way, W. McNiel, C. W. Lam, N. P. Karanila and E. Zimmern eliminated J. C. Gill, T.-E. Robson, R. Lapsley and A. M. Hol land by 24-15. Ahead by 10-5 on the tenth, 17-12 at the 10th (as the result of a five), Zimmern and his. men were leading 17-15 at the end of the 18th, but then they scared o single, a two and a four to run out comfortable winners.
