U. M. OMAR BEATS H. WHITE 21-1: REMEDIOS WINS

ONLY ONE I.R.C. MAN LEFT IN TOURNAMENT

(By "Abo")..

U. M. Omar, A. R. Dallah, B. Basto and C. F. Remedios won their way into the semi-finals of the Open Bowls singles championship of the Colony yesterday by winning their quarter-final matches. None of the four games produced the | tight fight that had been expected: in fact, in ono match, that between Omar and H. White, the former won with ridiculous case, by 21-1.

The turning point came in the 15th head, when Abbas was still leading 10-9. Remedios drew three beauties round the jack and blocked Abbas on the drawing band with his lost wood, which was also in the count. The LR.C. player had to come up on the other hand, but he was slightly too narrow. With the four on this end, Remedios forged into the lead 14 and never relinquished it.

The main differ- ence in the game of the two men was 52 that Remedios brought off his best shots at the right time; almost in- variably when Abbas was lying one or two, Remedios would come up to take the shot away. On the other hand, Abbas was not successful when Remedios was having the shot.

At the 20th, the score was 10-14 and It was still anyone's

the Remedios, however, scored on next three heads, aingle, three and two giving him a well-deserved win.

This is the first time I have ever attempted to race on a British lake, and immediately I have shoals of protests. I think it is ridiculous. If they want to stop all noise on water! in the Lake District, why not also close all roads to motor traffic?
