HAIPHONG TEAM Third Interport Match

ENTERTAINED

A dinner #ven last night in honour of the Ilalphong Football team which has played a series of matches here, attracted a large number of guests, Among those present were Mr. Chan Lan-fong, Chairman of the Eastern Athletle. Association, and many of the players who have played against the visitors.

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.
