A.R. DALLAH, LEADING 20-10, BEATEN 21-20 IN LAWN BOWLS FINAL

Once More

Magnificent Recovery Champion By U.M. Omar But He Was Lucky To Win

(By "Abe")

With due respect to U. M. Omar's fine fight- ́ing finish, I am sure many people who saw the game will agree that he was very lucky to boat A. R. Dallah in the final of the Open Bowls Singles Championship of the Colony on the Club de Recreio green yesterday. Trailing 10-20 on the 14th head, he finally won 21-20 after as magni- ficent a recovery as has ever been seen in theme by beating A. R. Dallah 21-20 after one of the best matches in the his- tournament-aided and abetted by a few atrocious of the competition. Omar al one stage was trailing 10-20, but in Rive mistakes by Dallah.
