RECREIO "BLUES" FIRM FAVOURITES TO RETAIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP
By "TOUCHER”
Recreio "Blues" established themselves as firm favourites to retain the Senior Division Lawn Bowls League title for another year when they came through with a magnificent 5-0 win over former League-leaders Kowloon Cricket Club on Saturday.
After starting the season rather shakily by losing two early matches, the Champions mec again demonstrated that consistency, confidence and concentration are the prime requisites of a good bowler or a good bowling team.

Four British Survivors

Of Punch Race
Marseilles, July 17.
Suffering from the excruciating pain of saddle sores, Ken Mitchell of Kenton rode alone today for more than 120 miles to courageously finish the tenth stage of the Tour De France cycling marathon, standing on his pedals. He had simply refused to pack in.
To help him keep in the race, a mechanic cut out the middle of his saddle during a brief halt early in the lap.
Wincing with pain, this 24-year-old plasterer gasped: "I hope everything will be better tomorrow."
For the rest of the British team, the going was relatively constal road casy along the which borders the Blue
