By ROBERT TAY
Indian Recreation Club, twice winners of the Colony first division lawn bowls league in 1950 and 1951, in the 49 years history of the league, assured themselves of their third championship on Saturday when they thrashed Craigen- gower Cricket Club by five points to nil at Sookunpoo. The victory was not only sweet revenge for the Indians who lost the first encounter by 4-1, but also put them almost beyond the reach of the other challengers for the remain- ing part of the season.
