The Hongkong Interport Lawn Bowlers showed that they were practically invincible by winning the third and last Interport match on the Shanghai Lawn Bowls Club green yesterday handily, by 27 shots to 18. Shanghai was outplayed but put up a stout fight that was full of excitement from the first to last end. Happily the rain held off, with the exception of a few drops about half way through the game, the green was very fast at the start but got slower towards the end.
Although Hongkong won by the largest number of points of the series, 14, the score is not a' true indication of the game. Shanghai were unfortunate in meeting a good four that were right on top of their form, especially Bradbury and Hampton, and did not have the best of luck at times. Hongkong got no less than five fours, the rest of the score being made up of one two and five singles, scoring on eleven ends against their opponents' ten.
U. M: Omar, the Hongkong skip and J. C. Brown, No. 8, had very little to do except lay down guards, as B. W. Bradbury and H. Hampton, No, 2 and lead, were doing all the scoring. Although Omar had very little to do he showed he was a fine skip and played with good judgment. He had two of his famous drives, burning the end at the were laying two, he came up with 7th and at the 9th, when Shanghai one of his fast ones and carried the jack for the shot into the ditch. Bradbury played a very fine game indeed; Hampton also played well and between the two they won the match, For Shanghai T. G. Main, skip, played a good game but was called upon to do too much and did not have the best of luck at times. C. W. Porter, No. 3, played well and put in some "good shots but Bull and Lanning were eclipsed by their opposing numbers.
