CCC NOW IN FAVOURABLE POSITION FOR FIRST DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP
By “TOUCHER”
Help from unexpected quarters enabled Craigengower Cricket Club to recover from their previous week's disastrous defeat at the hands of Kowloon Cricket Club and jump back into the most favourable position for the First Division Lawn Bowls League Championship.
The Craigengower bowlers did their small part in this dramatic change of fortunes, but the greater part of the tremendous swing was due mainly to the magnificent efforts of Taikoo and Kowloon Bowling Green Club.

Trinidad Hopes To Increase Team To 10 For Olympic Games
Port of Spain, Trinidad, July 15.
Last year Trinidad entered a provisional team of six (four competitors and two officials) for the Melbourne Olympics. Now the local Olympics committee hopes to increase the number to 10 by sending along two or three youngsters who will gain much needed experience from competition of such a high standard and who will not necessarily have their eyes on an Olympic medal,
