Civil Service Upset Kowloon B.G.C. LEADING SKIPS Craigengower Barely Manage To Beat Kowloon Cricket Club
(By "Wick")
CLUB DE RECREIO "A" consolidated their position at the head of the First Division of the Bowls League last Saturday when they had no difficulty in beating, the Indians, who went down in every rink. In the same match last year, the Indians put up a very good fight; but never at any stage of the match last week did they look capable of avoiding defeat.
Little need be said regarding the play of the Recreio men. As usual, they proved very steady, every man being equal to the demands made upon him by his skip. Carlos Silva and Dick Alves won their matches comfortably, but "Spuggy" Silva needed and obtained a three in the last head to nose out his opposite number by a single shot.
Kowloon C.C. at Hunghom, Kow- toon Docks are a much better team than they were last sceson, and on their own green, they should win this match.

Of the other matches in the First Division, two results which rather upset calculations were the defeat of Kowloon C.C. on their own green by Cralgen- gower C.C. and the victory of the Civil Servants over the CRAIGENGOWER may be ex- tended by the Police to-day strong Kowloon-Bowling Green
