Shanghai, Sept. 16.
FTER playing an extra end to break a 19-19 tie, Hongkong scored their first lawn bowls success by edging out the Shanghai Junior Golf Club by 20-19 yesterday afternoon in a touch-and-go encounter on the J.G.C. green.
The latter stages of the game ended in almost Stygian ness as it was impossible for the lawn bowlers to even see the jack.
At one point, a match was struck to identify the bowls.
In such conditions, it would have been fair to leave the game tied at 19-19 and call it a day as luck played too great a part in the subsequent extra head.
Bowling almost blind, Dixon scored tne winning wood for the Colony players when he rested a beautiful Jshot almost right on top of the jack. The lie of his wood and the jack was not disturbed up to the end.
