*(By "Sagax")
For the third time in succession, C. G. Silva, the Club de Recreio skip, has had a close call in the Open Lawn Bowls Championship. Yesterday he met A. R. Dallah, of the Indian R. C. in the Open Singles and only won by 21 shots to 17 against an opponent who, at different stages of the game, revealed brilliant form and showed that he was fully capable of springing a sur- prise.
