LAST WEEK'S BOWLS

REVIEWED

(BY SHORT HEAD")

The Craigengower Cricket Club, the senior Law Bowls League Champions continued in their winning rein last week when they beat the K.C.C, by ten shots. and their return game with the Club de Recreio to-day will be watched by the Bowling Green with anxiety, as a defeat of the Champions by the Recreio nieans a step nearer to the ladder for the Bowling Green.

Last week's results were very much as expected. The Indians after their good showing of a week ago went down heavily to the Bowling Green, while the mutch between the two Dock" teams ended in a victory for the Taikoo by a single shot,
