CHAMPIONSHIP
A HEAVY PROGRAMME ON OPENING DAY'S PLAY
(By "Abo")
Though the majority of the matches concluded as expected, yesterday's first round ties in the Lawn Bowls singles championship were not without surprises. Outstanding results of the day's pro- gramma were the defeats of two Recreio senior players, L. A. Gutierrez and C. G. Silva, both of whom were beaten by men who
are generally regarded as not quite up to their standard.
E. Zimmern, a Cralgengower C.C.
Junior player, was responsible for
Gutierrez's exit. The latter, a former
champlon and runner-up, is one of

Two twos and four singles in succession enabled Zimmern not only to draw level but to pass the former champion's score, and after the 16th end Zimmern led 13-31. Gutierrez was not discouraged and agelu forged ahead to 10-14 on the 218t head. Then 4 ding-dong struggle ensued.

A TRANSFORMATION
C. G. Silva was put out on the same green by H. F. Harper, After leuding 10-11 at the end of the 19th head, the Recreio player fell off badly, allowing Harper to score a three, a four and a three to terminale the match on the 22nd end. The transformation of the encounter was complete.
