STRONG RINKS ELIMINATED FROM CHAMPIONSHIP

CHAMPIONS PUT OUT BY JUNIOR RECREIO FOUR

BRADBURY'S QUARTETTE AMONG THOSE DEFEATED

Rain at one period threatened to wash out the whole pro- gramme of matches in the Lawn Bowls Open Rinks championship yesterday; but the weather cleared up remarkably well in the after- noon and nearly all the matches arranged were played.

In spite of the heavy rain which fell between 11 a.m. and noon, greens on the longkong side were not as heavy as were expected. Some en joyable games were contented.

The day saw several surprising re- sults, chief of which was the defeat of Bradbury's rink on the Police R.C. green by a Third Division Recreio rink, A. E.
