Players Turn Out With Umbrellas and Raincoats: To-day's Prospects

(By "Wick")

THE 1940 LAWN BOWLS LEAGUE made a start last Saturday, but it was not much of a start. Of the 14 matches arranged for the day, only 10 were decided and these in a steady drizzle which did not make playing enjoyable," Some of the players wore their raincoats while others took out their umbrellas. But the matches went on. evidently needs more than a drizzle to stop those lawn bowlers they are a stubborn lot!

The most interesting part about Collyer's success was the fact that playing No. 1 was young Grimmitt and No. 2 young Hollidge, both of whom

were playing first Division bowls for the first time in their. Ilves. They were called in at the last mo- ment, yet they played like seasoned bowlers, being invariably better than their opposite numbers.
