TWO JUNIOR PLAYERS WIN BOWLS PAIRS TOURNEY

SILVA, SOARES TOO GOOD FOR HOWELL, CRAIG

WINNERS SCORE 17 IN 7 CONSECUTIVE HEADS

(Bỳ "Abe")

A series of seven winning heads in the course of which they scored 20 shots enabled C. M. Silva and F. X. Soares, of the Club do Recreio, to establish a commanding lead in their Lawn Bowls pairs final against J. S. Howell and R. G. Craig on the Civil Service C. C. green yesterday; and with an advantage of 20-5 at the end of the twelfth boad, they ran out easy winners by 27-9 in what.turned out to be a rather one-sided encounter.

It was after Howell had lost the tack on the sixth head that Silva and Soares commenced piling up thele shots. In trying to have a short head, Howell failed to throw the jack past the flag, and Silva promptly played a full head. The result was a three for the Itecrela pair, who also scored on the subsequent Elx heads to

take their score from 3-5 on the

to 20-5 on the 12th.

OUTSWING BOWLERS DISAPPEARING FROM

ENGLISH CRICKET

In the County matches I have seen to date, fast-medium awing seems to be predominant in bowling, and mainly inswinging at that; which not only is much overdone, but does not reap the reward anti- cipated, writes C. G. Macartney in a general review of English cricket.

The old original out-awing, which has a far better chance of cnticing batsmen into error, since it makes them play at the ball, has almost disappeared, but only for the time being, I hope.

The in-swinging craze endeavours to persunde batsmen to give their wickets awny-round the corner and certainly slows up the game, which in many cases la too slow al- ready, and decidedly short of variety.

Omilting those who have repre- sented England in the Tests so far, fast-medium bowlers of the 'type are Perks, Phillipson, Pollard,

Capt. Stephenson, Partridge, G. Pope. "A. Pupe, Smailes, and Bowes-a very fine body of reserves on whom to fall back in the event of any emer-

Nor amongst the swinging bowlers have I seen one equal Intent to Tate, who could work the ball-in as well as out, with equal danger.

SLOW BOWLER ESSENTIAL

Washbrook, of Lancashire, unfor tunately did not make many runs against Australls, but what little

saw of him marked him as a batsman above the average. His natural in- clinations are towards brighter bnt- ting, and in an opening batsman auch methods are so rare as to deserve all encouragement. He seems to be Imbued with the lden of adventure in his work-a welcome change in these days of safety first.

It will not be overlong before P. Smith of Essex, must be recognised as a slow bowler of the type neces- sary to complete a composite attack. In cricket to-day the slow bowler is essential; and if, on wickets of a dead character such a one can secure some pace from the pitch by the aid of little top spin, he can enveigle batsgression. His hitting was mast men into doing something for which they will probably be sorry.
