WHAT A POWER IN THE LAWN BOWLS WORLD CRAIGENGO WER ARE PROVING THIS YEAR. COMMENCING THE SEASON WITH A LOSS BY THE SMALLEST POSSIBLE MARGIN, THEY HAVE SINCE SWEPT ALL

BEFORE THEM AND HAVE ACTUALLY LOST ON ONLY THREE RINKS.

On Saturday they were compelled to field a weakened team owing to various circumstances and Police were conces ed a chance of victory, even though the match was away. But the new champions for such they must be hailed had other ideas and not only scored a clear- cut victory but did so by a sweep-winning mar- gin!

BOWLING GREEN ADVANTAGE

By "Skip"

Most important match in Third Division was at Austin Road, where the homesters secured 31/ points against the Indians, on whom they now have a lead of 24 points with a match in hand.

Wallis lost his 100 per cent. re- cord and lost it badly, to S. M. Rumjahn, who with adequate support played a prominent part in a 15-shot victory. There was no hing in it until the 12th head, at the commencement of which the hosts were only a couple to the bad. They then added only two to Rumjahn's 15 shots!

Madar was the most dangerous man of his rink against Jordan, to whom he succumbed by a couple after pulling up well from a bad position. Sid Walker, the home two, Was at his best and helped Jordan a lot.

Hughie Nish beat Wahab-erst- while First Division player quite comfortably after leading all the way. J. A. Fraser and E. el.
