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.

A.A. Rezack playing No. 1 to Landelt, was the only visiting player to be up to standard; he held D.M. Khan well, but even he was out-

In the lid rink, the absence of Contes made all the difference to B.W. Bradbury, who was finally benten by 17 shots by M.R. Abbas. But man for man, the Indians were the better rink and fully deserved

Grace Amory, Jean Bauer and Alice Berlanger, who shared with Mis Jameson the lead in, the previous day's qualifying round, were also beaten in the frat match stage, but Miss Jame- son's exit was near sensational because she held what seemed a winning lead of four holes at half-way.
