THREE-WAY FIGHT FOR PREMIER HONOURS BEGINS IN REAL EARNEST TODAY

With an average of six matches for each team to go, the three-way fight for premier honours in the Colony Lawn Bowls League begins in real earnest this afternoon among the three First Division teams, Recreio "Blues", Cralgengower and Kowloon Cricket Club.
Only 11⁄2 points separate the leading Recreio "Blues" from the two other con- Lenders, either of whom could well replace them in top position by the end of today's matches.
