Upsets in the week-end Lawn Bowls League matches have thrown the race for First and Second Division League honours still further open.
The First Division League leaders and current holders of the title, Recreio "Blues", though retaining their top position in the Lengue table with 17 points, are now within the reach of at least five teams as a result of sustaining their first defeat on Saturday at the hands of Kowloon Cricket Club by the narrow margin of 3-2, It is difcult 10 single out Top rinks honours Ja With a record now of three

Next Season
By W.

KIRBY
Ireland, smartest-moving side in all four countries--even allowing for England being International Champions are likely to go one belter than Wales next season by introducing a three-pronged centre-forward attack led by Jimmy Walker, of Doncaster Rovers, with club colleague Eddie McMorran on his left and Billy Me- Adams, of Manchester City, on his right.
This prediction is based on Peter Doherty's assertion that Walker is certain to get a place in Ireland'a line-up.
