LAWN BOWLS

This Week's Games

The postponed fixtures of last week's open lawn bowis games will be played off this week if the weather holds good. Several interesting des are down for play and the most interesting to watch will perhaps be the open pairs championship between R. F. Luz and H. Beer of the C.C.C. and F. X. M. da Silva and C. G. Silva of the Recreio.

Both pairs are playing as well as ever, the Recreto pair being slightly more consistent. However Laz and his partner can always be depended upon on major occasions and this game ought to produce bowl of a high standard.

J. C. Brown a former finalist is meeting H. R. Ozorio, Although he is favoured to win the Portu- guese lad will give him a good struggle.

Another past champion in the person of U. M. Omar will be on view when he meets J. V. Ramsay. Omar is playing as well as ever but Ramsay should just about be able to give him that little bit of uphill fight.

Last year's open pairs champions and runners up will also be seen in action and both pairs ought to get through.

The holders may find in Medina and Cavanagh a stubborn pair to deal with...
