Craigengower "A's" defeat at the hands of the Civil Service Cricket Club was the talk of the town during the week, and apart from this sensation, there was also the defeat of Club de Recreio at the Taikoo Docks to be ac- counted for.

Fraser's rink could do nothing right whereas Cullen's men struck top form to lose only by three shots, Fraser only scored one shot after tea. Cullen played very good bowls, his 'rest from the game seemed to do no harm to his skill. Pearson was the only other Dock player to play up to form. Fraser agath played very well and before tea was well backed up by his men. Gittins was con- sistent right through the game.

Craig again falled at skip, being beaten by McKelvie by 13 shots McKelvie was playing a deadly 25me and was responsible for some very fine shots. He was ably sup-tities of that year. L. A.

The players in the loser's rink were not up to scratch and were it not for this fact, Jones and his men would not have been able to snatch that commanding lead, much less the 12 shots" victory.

RECREIO MORE THAN SURPRISED

A meritorious victory was scored by the lowly phited Taikoo team over the Club de Bécrèlo while playing away: Even the belated efforts of HA Aves's four were unable to stem the tide, and the Dockers ran out winners by 14 shots."

In a game where "luck" played a predominant part, A R. Dallah's four defeated W. Gur's rink by 13 shots to 17. Gill was decidedly un- lucky not to have won, as he was was having the upper hand over Dallah most of the game, and when "bad Joss" crept in, Dallah by dint of some heavy draws man- aged to snatch victory out of the

Soares was sending woods down either wide or narrow, and in this respect A. R. Abbas was playing better than him. A. H. Rumjahn was primarily responsible for his side's win. He played a very use- rul game, and any damage that came was from his deliveries which were well nigh perfect. A. M. Omar played slightly the better game against AM.

The Indians play a brand bowls that is their own. They have three skips, two of whom are dr- vers. This branch of the game has very often unnerved many a good skip. Perhaps playing at home will give the Indians just that bit of confidence which may be the turn- ing Point in the game.

POLICE SHOULD WIN The Civil Servants, despite their sensational win over the Cham- pions last week, I am afraid will call by the way, side to-day against the Police. Strange as it may seem, they have three skips that are only of mediocre standard, yet when comes to the big occasion they will rise to it. By dropping A. W. Grimmitt this week, Jones's rink will lose part of their strength, as the inclusion of Grizimitt last week in this rink spelt "victory" for them.
