LAWN BOWLS NOTES
Review Of Last Week's
(BY
Games
"F.B") History once more repeated itself last Saturday" when on the Recreio green the home team defeated the. formidable Craigengower "A" team by two shots, thus repeating their success of a year ago when the two teams met in their initial encoun- ter. Recrelo thus by their victory have now climbed to the top of the table.
The game, taken as a whole, was quite interesting and at times ex- citing. Chief interest was centred on the uphill fight put up by Brad- bury's four against C. G. Silva's rink. As I predicted last week in my notes, sny rink pitted against CQ. Silva will have to be very wary and Bradbury was quite at

SILVA'S BRILLIANCE Siva was undoubtedly the "hero" of the day. His 14-shots victory just managed to pave the way for "the "Recs.", to annex both points. He was ably supported by his men.. particularly L. A. Gutierrez who was his able 2nd lleutenant. The same could not be said of Brad- -bury's men. With the exception ol. A. E. Coates. the rest put up a sorrowful exhibition,
against the Indians on Saturday, who incidentally, won their second match of the season. The defeat

of R. P. Philips four by the Insion and Craigengower Cricket dians' weakest rink.(J. Hoosen, M. et Arculli, A. M Wahab and A. R. Minu), by the colossal score of 27 to five was astounding. shots Minu is considered by many to be a poor bowler but nevertheless he put up a game fight and thorough- ly deserved the victory.
S.C.A.A. V. IR.C.
At King's Park the South China A.A, easily beat the Indian Recrea- tion Club by 7 sets to 2. For the losers M. P. Madar and A. Rahmin played very steadily in all their three sets, though they, like the rest of the IR.C. team found tormidable opponents in H K. Chan and C, L. Lau, who woh all their three games without being really extended.
This game was the second of last Saturday's fixtures in which the victory of one rink in the team decided the issue of the two points. Philips heavy deficit did not amend allow his club mates to matters, and despite the victories rinks, scored on the other, two K.C.C, went down badly.
LR.C.'s strongest four (A. H... Rumjahn, S. Ramjahn, D. M. H. K Chan and C. L. Lau - Khan and A. R. Dallah) suffered |- the heavier defeat of the two re- maining Indians' rinks. Although Fraser's rink was up by nine shots this was not enough-to-help mat- ters.
The Civil Servants will try.con- clusion with the K.C.C. and it re- mains to be seen which of the two teams will be the wooden spoonists. On the present form. am rather inclined to favour the C.S.C.C. They have quite a good team at that but proper understanding is still lack- Ing. Grimmitt's rink ought to be able to provide them with quite a comfortable margin and if Holidge and his men can hold their own, I think the K.C.C. is due for an- other defeat..
It must be said that Craigen- Kower were certainly dogged by bad "loss" too. U. M. Omar whose

R. T. Luz too suffered the same. 'fate when his four gave away a three at the last head.
The standard of bowls in the last two rinks was certainly high but the same could not be said of the Silva-Bradbury clash where heavy driving was seen to good advantage.

London, June 12.
Freddie Miller, of America, re- tained the world featherweight boxing championship at Liverpool to-night when he beat Nel Tartle- British tco.
Liverpool and of champion, on points in a fifteen round contest.
Miller was very fast and his punching was powerful. He floor- ed Tarleton for a count of seven" with a right to the chin. Tarleton opening recovered after a slow and several times shook the cham- plon with stiff right handers to the jaw.
attack Tarleton continued to desperately from the sixth round but-Miller's footwork which was a feature of a grim, struggle, and his strong defence, prevailed.
Reuter,
Born of German-American par- entage, Miller first tock up. pró- fessional boxing in 1927 and it was not until three years later that he suffered his first defeat, lostng to Johnny Farr. Miller has previous ly fought and beaten Tarleton while he has also met other pro- minent featherweights.
Last year Miller was engaged in no less than 27 contests in Ameri- ca and Europe and of these be lost but two. He was beaten on a foul by Tony Paul in the sec- ond round of a bout at Los Angeles and he lost to Billy Gannon at Manchester on a foul in the sixth
round.
COTTON AGAIN
Refuses To Play
(Special Air Mall-Service)
London, May 25. Once again Henry Cotton, the British Open Golf Champion, has declined to play for his country. I He was picked for the England v. Scotland professionals match at Muirfield on June 22 two days before the start of this year's open championship and his reason for declining the invitation is that:"
His prospects of retaining his ttle would be impaired if he play- ed in a serious match so near to the championship.

Miss Scriven And Miss Stammers Win Doubles Final: Perry Drops A Set

**ALL-AUSTRALIAN FINAL
The
Australian men's dinals lacked excitement, and J. H. Crawford and A. K. Quist won in straight sets without any anxiety, D. P. Turnbull was reacting after his effort of yesterday, and V. B. McGrath rarely plays well against Crawford, the senior member of the firm that holds the Australian overhead championship. Quist's play was almost faultless.
Doubtless with an eye to the singles this week, Crawford roused himself to give a great exhibition of fine all-court tennis, and some of his shots, original in conception and perfect in execution, were worth framing.
4. W. Tuckey defeated Francois Merlin in three sets, but had to reduce long leads by service power and a net attack, his ground strokes rather letting him down:
