League Interest As High As
Club de Recreio Able To Field Four Teams
Growing Numbers at K.C.C.
WHATEVER SET-BACKS cricket, tennis and hockey may have encountered through war condi- tions, lawn bowlers show a keen and determined front in the face of similar conditions-keen that their game should suffer no stagnation, and deter- mined that it shall not.
It is not a case of the youngest being the most en- thusiastic that the Club de Recreio are fielding an extra team in the League, it is because their numbers permit the arrangement. In my connection with bowlers I could not say that one was keener than the other for one and all seem imbued with a spirit that puts most other games in the shade.
It is unfortunate that the transfer of men has compelled
the Civil Service C.C. to limit To-day's Bowls
their activities to only one team, and that in the First Division, but though they have lost, the Kowloon Cricket Club are gain- ing. By this, I mean in the roll of lawn bowlers.

Joe Louis' Reported Earnings Top £440,000
LONDON, Apr. 15 (Reuter).-Who is there left to challenge Joe Louis's supremacy as world heavyweight | champion?
This sleepy-eyed youth, who thinks more of sleep, base- ball and reading comic papers than he does of boxing, has now defended his world title 16 times since he won it from James J. Braddock in June, 1938.
