CARLOS SILVA'S LAST WOOD ENABLES HIM TO KEEP UNBEATEN MARK Recreio "A" Score Second Win Over Craigengower
(By "Abe")
It is not likely now that the Club de Recreio "A", "who won the First Division Bowls Champion- ship last year, will be displaced this season. On Saturday, they overcame another stiff obstacle when they visited the Craigengowor C.C., whom | thoy had already defeated at King's Park, and won by 17 shots. So far the Portuguese players have played nine matches and won all of them--the only team in all three divisions to hold a 100 per cent, record.

Right from the start, the champions were playing a brand of bowls superior to that of the home team, and they established an early lead which they never appeared in danger of relinquishing. At tea-time, they were 18 shots to the good and finished the match with margin of 17 to spure:
