LEAGUE BOWLS
RECREIO OPEN SEASON WITH 32-12 WIN OVER BOWLING GREEN CLUB
By “TOUCHER"
In the only First Division Lawn Bowls League match played during the week-end, Club de Recreio, the reigning Champions, opened their sen- son with a narrow victory over Kowloon Bowling Green Chub by 3% points to 1.
An extremely heavy green, a continuous drizzle and frequent gusts of strong wind made the game far from enjoyable. Really good bowls was impossible, but despite these weather conditions some very good heads were seen,

CZECHOSLOVAKIA'S SPORTS FANS ASK. Who Can Take Over From Zatopek When He Retires After Olympic Games?
By RONALD FARQUHAR
Prague, May 13.
Who among Czechoslovakia's younger generation of athletes can take over the mantle of Emil Zatopek, now nearing the end of a great running career, at the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne is the question which sports fans here are asking each other.
They hope to obtain clues to the answer from two track and field matches with British teams this summer.
Sides representing Prague and London are scheduled to meet in an inter-city contest here in July and the countries compete in a full international competition in London in August,
