LAMOUR BOY OF MOTOR

KCC IN VERY CHALLENGING POSITION FOR THE SENIOR DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP

By "TOUCHER”

Contrary to pre-season expectations, the 1956 lawn bowls season is going to have some interesting finishes after all-both in the Lengue and in the Oper Cham- pionships.

In the League, the easy victory in the Second Division of the Kowloon Dock "Blues" is well compensated for by the keen and exelting last lap struggle that is now on for First and Third Division League honours.

She had an appointment in 30 minutes flat with a masseuse at St Thomas's Hospital. And after that it would be a race against time to get to the Lansdowne Club, Piccadilly, to change into sports clothes en route for Hyde Park - and the real job of the day. Training.
