CLUB DE RECREIO "A" OUGHT TO BEAT I. R. C. IN KING'S PARK TIE

(By "Abo")

While no upsats were registered in the Hong- kong Lawn Bowls League last week, it must be many years since we have had such high scoring in one match as that between the Craigongowor C.C. and the Civil Service C.C, in the First Divi- sion. A total of 153 shots (C,C.C, 94, C.S.C.C. 59) must be very near, if not quite, the record.
