(By "Sagax")

An almost successful last minute recovery by the losers featured the Lawn Bowls Pairs Championship match on the Taikoo R. C. Green yesterday afternoon when W. K. Way and A. S. Gomes, runners-up in last year's competition, eliminated A. A. Razack and W. V. Field, who in the earlier round had beaten J. Fraser and A. Hyde-Lay, the conquerors of B. W. Bradbury and U. M. Omar.

CROWLEY HITS CAPLAN OVER ROPES

BUT FIGHT ENDS IN A DRAW

CAUTION ISSUED

(By Fred Dartne!!)

London, May 28. The big fenther-weight boxing duel between Benny Caplan, of St. George's, and Dave Crowley, of Clerkenwell, which had stirred the Enst End Into rival camps of partisanship, ended in a draw last night after 15 rounds of keen and thrilling fighting,

I thought Crowley had just about won, but the margin was so close that differences of opinion were bound to arise.

In the early stages Crowley panished Caplan with several body punches, and In the fourth round he sent his opponent through the

ropes.

It was not until the Beventh round that Caplau did any notable scoring. His superior boxing then began to tell, but in the eighth round Crowley rushed him back- warda once more and Caplan did buck-live through the ropes,

The referee catilloned Crowley here for his impulsiveness und Cap- tun made an impressive wink to bis Aeconds as he once more joined in the issue.

Crowley's friends were relying on the later stages to turn the issue. He had been beaten at the Albert Hall in 12 rounds by Cap-

but with three extra rounds this time i was thought that stani-

would play a decisive part.

However, Caplan boxed brilliant-

is and at one period he won five rounds in succession.
