New Champions Well Beaten By Indians

U. M. Omar Preserves

100 Per Cent Record

Police Checked In Third Division

OWING to volunteer duties, only two matches were played last week in the Lawn Bowls League, one in the First Division and the other in the Third. In the senior game, the new champions were defeated by the Indians at Sookunpoo while the Police received their first check in several weeks in the junior section.

were without A. M. Rumjahn. But the margin of victory-34 shots was too wide to be aftri- buted wholly to the changes in the teams.

True, Roascict is a regular skip and Gostes is the sheet-anchor of B.W. Bradbury's rink; but even with them in the side, I have le doubt but that the Indians would have won though not by the same margin-IN both sides were at full strength.

L.KL. Omar, drawn once more against A.R. Dallah, kept his 100 per cent. record intact. He has now gone through 14 matches without once being held and needs only two more victories for a clean League sweep

Taking Rosselet's place as skip, Joe Landult had bad luck to crack up against A.K. Minu when the latter was it the top of his form.

Champion Loses In 1st Round

Brooklines, Mass., Sept. 10.

The American Women's Golf Cham- pionship had many first-round surprises! to-day, the chief of which was the elimination of Betty Jameson, title- |holder. Grace Amory, Jean Bauer and Alice Berlanger, who shared with Miss Jameson the lead in the previous day's qualifying round, were also beaten in the first match klage, but Miss JamBON son's exit was near sensational because sho held what seemed a winning lead of four holes at half-way.

The champion took onl 30 strokes for those niño holes and her opponent, bespectacled Janet Younker, could doi nothing right... Afterwards Miss Jame- son played well enough, but Miss Younker staged an amazing recovery, taking only 34 strokes for the last nine holes, to overhaul, the champlan and win on the last green by one hole.

Mrs Spage, former champion, played 10 holes before beating Mrs Fation, but Mrs Varo (baiter known as Glenna Collett), Maureen Orcutt and Marion Miley, three: Curils Cup players, all had casy wins with four holes to spare.
