CCC NOW IN FAVOURABLE POSITION FOR FIRST DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP

By “TOUCHER”

Help from unexpected quarters enabled Craigengower Cricket Club to recover from their previous week's disastrous defeat at the hands of Kowloon Cricket Club and jump back into the most favourable position for the First Division Lawn Bowls League Championship.

The Craigengower bowlers did their small part in this dramatic change of fortunes, but the greater part of the tremendous swing was due mainly to the magnificent efforts of Taikoo and Kowloon Bowling Green Club.

Trinidad Hopes To Increase Team To 10 For Olympic Games

Port of Spain, Trinidad, July 15.

Last year Trinidad entered a provisional team of six (four competitors and two officials) for the Melbourne Olympics. Now the local Olympics committee hopes to increase the number to 10 by sending along two or three youngsters who will gain much needed experience from competition of such a high standard and who will not necessarily have their eyes on an Olympic medal,

To send a team of 10 from] Agostini, who equalled the Trinidad to the other side of world 100 yards record of 9.3 the world wilt cost £0,250 seconds and set up a short-lived The sum required is completely 220 yards record of 20.1 seconda beyond the resources of the this year in the United States is Trinidad Olympic Games Com- coming home on August 1 for a Tattoo
