AN ANALYSIS
The senior division of the Lawn Bowls League has now reached its most interesting position of the season.
The Kowloon Bowling Green, whose rescusitation, has been the feature of the 1933 com- petition, are now placed that by winning their last match they cannot be overtaken.
Cralgengower will be the only team left to challenge them and the champione muust win their re- maining two games in order to finish level on points.
On the other hand, defeat, for" the Bowling Green in their four- teenth encounter would not only give Cralgengower a great oppor- tunity of winning the champion- ; ship outright, but would alsó in- vite Civil Service into struggle.

The remaining fixtures favour the chances of the Bowling Green. Although themselves away from home, they have a fairly easy match with Trikoo opponents.
Talkoo at the moment occupy last place in the table and appear to be certain for the "wooden spoon,"
TO VISIT C.S.C.C. But Craigengower have two fairly stiff engagements, includ- ing a visit to the Civil Service On Saturday, on their own green, Craigengower cnally beat the Civil Service, but they cannot expect the same comfortable fourney on their neighbours' Green.
In addition last year's cham- pions have to receive and beat the Reerolo. This proposition Is. perhaps, not so imposing as it would have been a few weeks ago.
The Recreio have rápidly de clined during the latter stages of the competition and on Saturday fell victims to the Kowloon Cricket, Club.
The Civil Service, in addition to entertaining Cralgengower, hava to visit Kowloon Docks, which suggests that their interest in the destination of the championship
will not be very great.
It is too early to be able to make such an analysis in regard to the second division. Each team has to play two more matches than those in the senior division, and as the Bowling Green, present leadors, have three more to go and Craigengewer, potential winners, have five to play, ono cannot make any serious forecast.

‘ASHES" "WINNING TEAM FETED
Speaking at a dinner given in London recently in honour of the M.C.C. team which won the Ashes, Mr. S. M. Bruce, Primo Minister of Australia, made an apped for police in international cricket and demanded that the] parties should come face to face to straighten out the Body-Line bowling controversy.
"This matter." he said, "will be straightened out, hul what- ever is necessary to be done to restore cricket to the position it should hold, do it by personal
contact.
"For God's sake do not do it) by an exchange of notes with: each other, but come face to face."
