TWO JUNIOR PLAYERS WIN BOWLS PAIRS TOURNEY
SILVA, SOARES TOO GOOD FOR HOWELL, CRAIG
WINNERS SCORE 17 IN 7 CONSECUTIVE HEADS
(By "Abo")
A serica of seven winning heads in the course of which they scored 20 shots enabled C. M. Silva and F. X. Soares, of the Club do Recreio, to establish a commanding lead in their Lawn Bowls pairs final against J. S. Howell and R. G. Craig on the Civil Service C. C. green yesterday; and with an advantage of 20-5 at the end of the twelfth head, they ran out easy winners by 27-9 in what turned out to be a rather one-sided encounter.
the
It was after lowell had lost the Jack on the sixth head that Silvn and Soares commenced piling up their shots. In trying to have a chort hend, Howell falled to throw the Jack past the flag, and Silva promptly played a full head. The result was a three for the Recreio pair, who also scored on the subsequent six heads to take their score from 3-5 on the fifth to 20-5 on the 12th.
The match started evenly enough, but lost a great deal of its interest towards the end because Silva and Soares, once they had establish their lead, never looked back.
the first few heads, they were for more consistent than Howell and Craig. Silva had the better of Howell more often than not, and
Soares on several occasions was able to change the lay whereas Craig succeeded in doing so only two or three times.
As a spectacle, the, natch was nothing like the one played last year on the Kowloon B.G.C, green when the Omar brothers beat the Luz combination, or the one the semi-Anal in which Silva and Soares eliminated A. Bakar and A. K. Minu.

OUTSWING BOWLERS DISAPPEARING FROM
ENGLISH CRICKET
In the County matches I have seen to date, fast-mediuin swing seems to be predominant in bowling, and mainly inswinging at that; which not only is much overdone, but does not reap the reward anti- cipated, writes C. G. Macartney in a general review of English cricket.
The old original out-swing, which has a far better chance of enticing batsmen into error, since it makes them play at the ball, has almost disappeared, but only for the time being, I hope...
The in-swinging craze endeavoure to persuade batsmen to give their wickets nway-round the corner- and certainly slows up the game, which in many cases is too slow al- ready, and decidedly short of variety,

On the other hand, though Soares more often than not had the shot in his favour when he went down to roll he was often able to do what was required of him. On the eighth head, for instance, Craig was lying one when Soares had his last wood to deliver, and he came up to push the shot wood through to claim three. Again on the 12th Craig was lying one until Soares came up with pound on to get three. Craig was narrow with his last wood and gave his opponents another.
