MY FORECAST IN LAST Saturday's issue, .c.c. (365) though not very successful on the whole, gave Kow-<.B.G.c. (748) V H.K.C.C. (779) loon Bowling Green Club to beat Craigengower at K.F.C. (628) Austin Road and they did so handsomely, thereby placing Club de Recreio in a more favourable posi- tion for the Championship and thus relieving them 30WLS CHAMPIONSHIP. of a lot of anxiety over the result of their game to-

morrow.

Should they lose against Craigengower in this game the latter still cannot overtake them in spite of having a game in hand; a deciding match is the best that the Valley team can hope for, presuming of course that both teams win both their remaining encounters.
