The only all-round performance comparable with that Was George Hirst's 2,385 runs and 208 wickets in 1906, fewer but 107 runa and, considering it was only 618 wickels more, the Yorkshireman's deed was probably the greater.

MAY

THIS

BE DECIDED AFTERNOON

By “TOUCHER”

One and perhaps two Lawn Bowls League Championships may be decided this afternoon.

In the First Division the League-leading holders, Recreio “Blues" will cross over to the Indian Recreation Club and a repetition of their earlier 5-0 win over the Indians will practically assure them of the title for the third year in succession.

The Indians were largely responsible for the Blues widening their lead during the week when they handed Kowtoon Cricket Club a 1-1 defent. With a 61⁄2-point lead over the Cricket Club who are their next nearest rivals, Recreio "Blues" can do even with four points to be almost certain of retaining the Championship. On pre- sent form, they seem to have the needed points practically in the bag.
