A THREE-WAY RACE AGAIN FOR THE SENIOR DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP
By "TOUCHER”
Upset victories by Filipino Club in the First Division and Hongkong Cricket Club in the Second Division were the main highlights of Satur- day's Lawn Bowls League games.
The Filipino Club gave their most brilliant performance of the season to hand the Champlon Recreio "Blues" their second defeat of the season and throw open the First Division League into a three-way battle among the "Bhics,” Craigen- gower und Kowloon Cricket Club.
By their plucky display on Saturday, the Filipino bowlers also served notice to their rivals, IRC "Gold" and Recreio "Whites," that they would be no pushovers fur the wooden- spoonists' unenviable position.

HEWSON TALKED BACK INTO THE HALF-MILE
By DOUG WILSON
British team manager Jack Crump has talked Brian Hewson into running both the Half-Mile and One Mile, after all, in the match against Germany at the London White City from July 30 and August 1.
Hewson had accepted for the Mile but declined the Half-Mile. He is the only man in the team called on to run in two races, apart from relays. Yesterday Mr Crump said: "I have had a talk with Howson and asked him, in the interests of the team, to accept the wishes of the selectors. He has agreed to do so."
Weil, the selectors have ro Mr Crump added yesterday tained their dignity. but I that he has asked Henderson to question whether the interests be at the White City on Mon of the team have been served. ¡day, August 1, prepared to run Hewson will be running against the Half-Mile H Hewson has
