DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIPS

As a result of Indian Recreation Club's surprise defeat at the hands of Taikoo Dock Club last Saturday, which leaves Recreio a clear field to the Championship title in the First Division, interest in the Lawn Bowls League now shifts to the Second and Third Divisions, both of Well, the answer is that which promise a close and exciting finish. nien hit further because they fre stronger - especially in their hands and arms.
So, if you want to hit further, Jadles, follow the argument to Its logical conclusion and build up the strength in your hands. No! There is need to develop bulging muscles. All you need Is sumclent strength to increase the speed with which the club- head whistles through at the bottom of the swing.
HOW ABOUT MORE
PRACTICE?
Much as I would like to be gallant, ladies, I can't pull any punches on this issue. The chief trouble with most ladies is that they just don't like the iden of working at their game.
Instead of getting out on to the practice ground for a few afternoons with a bag of balls and that is the ideal bullder- you all insist on taking out your day cords or in playing your tea-party rounds.
They are all very nice and social, and of course one wants to have them, but surely not every afternoon? They do your golf very tile good.
The Second Division has now become a race between. Kowloon Cricket Club and Club de Recreio. Both teams enjoyed 4-1 wins during the week, with the Cricket Club a slender two points ahead at present of Recreio in the aggregate points.
Both teams are left with the same opponents in two of their three remain- ing matches, Filipino Club and IRC "B", and their last match of the season on August 2 will be against each other. This will in all likelihood take the form of a deciding match.
