FRED PERRY'S HOUR OF TRIUMPH

TWO WINS FOR K.B.G.C.
CIVIL SERVICE CREEPING UP
LAWN BOWLS LEAGUE
Two handsome wins by the Bowling Green on Saturday materially aided them in their efforts to obtain a permanent grip on the leadership of the League, and they are especially well placed in the senior divi- sion.
They have only three more games to play including the re- turn match with Cralgengower. This will probably settle the whole championship argument.
Cralgengower scored comfort ably against the K.C.C. in the see- cond division and remain on top. RESULTS IN BRIEF.
