Great Bowling In Rink Semi-Finals At Civil Service C. C.

M. R. Abbas In Final

(By "Tinkor")

IT WAS TRAGIC, indeed, that it was U. M. Omar, who, after bowling so brilliantly the whole game, was responsible on the last head for the defeat of his much favoured Craigengowor rink. in the Championship semi-finals at the Civil` Service C.C. yesterday. A. J. Hall's Kowloon B.G.C. rink wore the victors.

In the other semi-final, M. R. Abbas and his men from the Indian R.C. scored a comfortablo victory over J. Shepherd's Police four.

Scores in brief were:

L. Sykes, W. MoNellt, R. Duncan and A. J. Hall beat A. M. Omar,

Sykes were steady and ful- alled their duties by being round the of boili Juck, but the middle men sides were rather patchy, especially McNeill and Duncan.
