BOWLS CHAMPION DEFEATED IN

ISSUE OPEN UP TO LAST WOOD OF THE MATCH B. W. Bradbury's Valiant Fight Against U. M. Omar

(By "Abo")

No finor game could have been wished for than the third round meeting on the Civil Service C.C. green yesterday between B. W. Bradbury (holder) and U. M. Omar (former champion) in the third round of the Open Bowls singlos championship.

Omar ually won by the narrow margin of 21-49, but even with the last wood of the match the result might have gone the other way. Loading 20-10 and lying one. Omar would have lost the game if Brad- bury had succeeded in either pushing Omar's shot wood through or trail- The ing the jack a few inches, champion was having three seconds, but he was a triße too heavy.

It was a fitting ending to what and boon a splendid game all broug Twice Bradbury had a chance of winning the match, only to see Omar pull the game out of the fire on each bocasion. But he could not complain, for there was no suggestion whatever of anything "fuky" about Omar's

chots.

On the 26th head, when Omar was four leading 19-18, Bradbury had beauties for jame, but Omar played a peretet last wood lo draw for second shot to keep the match alive. It was a splendid' effort just when all seemed lost, as he had to go up an adimcult hand.

HOW THREE WOMEN

GOLFERS BEAT HENRY COTTON

By George Greenwood

London, July 17.

Henry Cotton, playing the best ball of three women champions-Miss Pam Barton, Miss Jessie Anderson and Miss Wanda Morgan-was beaten by a hole at Maylands, near Romford.

The side worked to a plan, and it was left to Miss Barton to do the hard hitting from the tee. Though there were a few wild excursions she generally managed to get within 10 or 15 yards of Cotton's best, a great tribute her driving powers.

The younger school thus succeeded
