WICK'S" BOWLS NOTES
Recreio "A” Suffer Second Defeat
Incidents That Involved Knowledge Of Rules
Important Game This Week-end
FOR THE INDIANS, their victory over Recreio "A" in the First Division of the Loaguo last Saturday was historic. During their four seasons among the seniors, they have boaten, at one time, or another, every other team except Recreio "A" who have always proved too good for them. And their succèss last wook was all the more creditable in that it was scored at King's Park.
This was the champions'. second defeat this season -a fact which may jeopardise their prospects of retain. ing the championship.
Certainly the race for League honours in the First Division is now very open with at least three teams running neck to neck.

the last five or six heads, and this It C. G. Silva had dropped out in procedure adopted by his rink, the chances are that his rink, would have won. This is not meant to be a reflection on Silva's play; we know what a fine bowler he is. But no man con play properly with a kidney trouble attack.
