BOWLS LEAGUE STARTS SECOND ROUND TODAY Craigengower, Recreio “A” Fight For Survival In Race For Senior Title

By ROBERT TAY

The two-month-old Colony lawn bowls league bogins its second- round matches in all the three divisions this afternoon with no abatement of interest among the 28 participating teams, despite the fact that at least half of them are already out of the running for the various league titles..

The race for league honours in the three divisions of the league.

will undoubtedly command the greatest attention during the next few weeks, but in the background there will always remain the fact that the success of a Colony lawn bowls league is also largely due to the excellent spirit shown by members of teams which "also ran.'

Practically every one of these bowlers stili lonks forward to his Saturday afternoon's bowls with eagerness and expectancy and in his breast hope springs eternal that on his best day he can sil outbowl his more favoured opponent. AL the worst he can still derive full enjoyment from just playing the game, the result being only a subsidiary consideration.

NEW LOOK FOR SOUTH AFRICA'S CRICKET TEAM FOR ENGLAND

Johannesburg.

South Africa's cricket team to tour England next year will have à "new

look."

The shape of the side partially emerged after the completion of the Currie Cup competition recently and with one season to go in which to finalise the combination, it seems that few of the 15 players who toured Eng- land in 1955 will survive.

Like English cricketers, those in South Africa are prone to mature at a later age, but since the tour of Australia in 1952/53 when the young and virtually unknown Springbok team administered shocks to the then "world champions" and later nearly beat England, both in England and in South Africa, the em phasis has shifted to youth, with the highest standard of fielding demanded from each player.
