OF THE LAWN BOWLS LEAGUE
By "TOUCHER”
Three upsets, one in each division, featured the week-end's Lawn. Bowls League inatches without affecting the standings of the various League leaders.
In the First Division, Indian Recreation Club "Gold" surprised their more re- puted and more favoured sister team, IRC "Blues", with a 3-2 triumph to almost completely blank the hopes of the Blues of keeping abreast with the top contenders of the Division's Championship.

Pirie Will World Six Miles Record At AAA Championships
London, July 10.
Emil Zatopek's world Six Miles record of 27 minutes 59.2 seconda looks like being broken in the British Amateur Athletic Association Championships at the White City: London, this coming week-end.
All the leading British distance runners will concentrate on this race and most of them will not divide their attentions between the Six and Three Miles events.
Gordon Pirie, who won
1-Mile race in the world best time of six minutes 26 seconds at Paddington, London, on Tuesday, has set himself the target of getting inside 28 minutes, which means another world record.

UNUSUAL EXPERIENCE
These Record Attempts Are Not Quite In Order
London, July 10.
British runners are in danger of losing something of the fine reputation they have built for themselves in the last few years. They are in danger of being called rule breakers and of being accused of sharp practice by other nations. And all because of the records craze which has hit the country.
There was a time when Britiali runners rather scoffed at running against the clock. They used to say that the winning of the race was the main thing and the time only of secondary importance.
