Ü.M. Omar Brilliant As Skip For The Winners: C.M. Sequeira Unlucky

Shanghai, Sept. 17.

WITH victory in the first lawn bowls interport almost within their grasp, Shanghai made a last-minute mis- calculation to deliver the honours to Hongkong who triumphed by 18-17 after the local side were ahead by 17-16 on the 20th end of the interport encounter taking place on the Police Recreation Club green yesterday. The Shanghai skip had the misfortune to dislodge his own wood with the last delivery of the game, thus giving Hongkong two shots as the visiting team were lying first and third. Had Shanghai bowled short with this last wood, a tie of 17-17 would have resulted and another end would have been required to gain a decision.

It was one of those unfortunate twists of fate how- ever, for, had the Shanghai skip succeeded in his intention of carrying the jack to his backwoods, a victory would have been certain for Shanghai and he would have been

Steady play marked Wilkinson, No. 2 for the local four, as one of the outstanding players of the afternoon. He worked hand in glove with his sicip and even in the most difficult situations he was able to carry out Sequeira's intentions.
