~SHANGHAI, Sept. 24-The visiting Hongkong lawn bowls players were prevented from making a clean sweep in the Inter- port series yesterday afternoon when the local rink won convinc ingly by 29-10 at the Wayside Park in the last Interport encounter, thus partly avenging Shanghai's last two defeats. This is the first occasion on which the visitors played on a really fast green and they were thoroughly uncomfortable, Combined with the fact that Shanghai's rink played at top form, there was little chance for the Colony side to make a better showing than they did.
