Hongkong Wins Series in Three Straight Games: — An Enviable Record

Sept, 21.

The Hongkong Interport lawn bowlers had little difficulty in winning their second Zone match yesterday, when their four beat a Northern Zone four by 23-18, on the Police Bowling Club green.

The Hongkong players were B. W. Bradbury (skip), J. C. Brown (No. 3), G. L. Buchanan (No, 2) and H Hampton (lead), while R. Conduit (skip), J. C. d'Aquino (No, 3), C. Bull (No. 2) -and G. M. P. Remedios (lead), represented the Northern Zone.

The visitors easily defeated the Northern Zone four by 10 shots, on a very fast and tricky green which, combined with the strong wind blowing. made good bowling impossible. The Northern Zone held their opponents well for the first thirteen ends, when the score stood at 11 all, but after the tea interval the North failed badly, getting only two shots in the last gene ends against their opponents 4 HONGKONG wy.
