OPENING OF A NEW SEASON
RAIN INTERFERES
The local Lawn Bowls League opened its season in unfavourable weather conditions on Saturday, a continuous drizzle during the afternoon being responsible for the curtailment of the pro- gramme. Of the eight matches down for decision, only three were [played.
By getting the better of the Police R.C. at Happy Valley the Kowloon, Dock R.C. drew first blood in the Senior Division. The game was closely contested, the visitors winning by the narrow margin of two shots. The Police green was in perfect condition and played as well as could be expect- ed. A fine tribute was paid to the green-ranger, Mr. W. Glendin- ning, when the ground was refer- red to as being probably the best in the Colony at the present time.
In the Second Division, the Kowloon Bowling Green Club rather easily defceted the Club I de Recreio.
The Electric RC plying for the first time in the League, lost the Yacht Club on their own newly-laid green at North Point, in the old Ming Yuen gardens.

But people who (S.C.A.A.) :--- subscribe anonymously to the Press, usually with the best in tentions, are not always in pas session of the actual facts. Hence the result is considerable contro- versy which usually leads no- where.
The writer stresses this point, as most ions arrived at by the League cil, and Appeals Board this year have been de cided by the rules of the Associa- tion, as they now stand, and which have influenced, in fact de- cided, the various issues,
Now comes the chance of "Enthusiast," "Soccer," "Fan," "B.W.D." and many others. The meeting already announced for June 28 car and will amend any rules which in the opinion of the Clubs necessitate alteration. These amendments must be in the hands (in writing) of the Hon. Secretary of the Association not latter than May 30, with the names of the Clubs proposing and seconding any such alteration,

Please note that this must be done by recognised Clubs affiliat- ed to the Association, and surely individual members can bring to the notice of the Club they are particularly interested in, any suggestion of a helpful nature, which latter the Club will frame in a proper manner, and despatch according to rules and bring for- ward at the annual general meet ing.
It is under consideration this year to amalgamate the duties of the Association and the League under one governing body-a wiee two governing bodies will tend to suggestion-and the fusion of the

I have been through the rules of the Association, also those of the League, and these form the nucleus of a good set of rules for general guidance, and one can see how most of the contentious points arising in the course of a season such as recently passed through are dealt with.
There is just one weakness. The rules do not quite go far enough. Points which are not actually covered by the rules are decided by the Council of the Association, or the League, and very often, as has been the case this year, these décisions are not popular universally.
To mention only two, which in my experience have caused much discussion, in fact, hostile feeling this year, in their interpretation; others I hope to deal with before May 30. Take Rule 8 of the rules of the Challenge Shield. (Skip) 21 This rule is quite inadequate for
