K.C.C. Provide A Surprise
CIVIL SERVICE LOSE
Recreio Defeat The Bowling Green
The lowly-placed Kowloon C.C. provided the surprise of the day by defeating the Civil Service C.C. in Division L. of the Lawn Bowls League on Saturday. This reverse has depreciated the chances of the Happy Valley team in the championship.
On the other hand, the prospects of the Craigengower C.C., who soundly trounced Taikoo, are much brighter. The Club de Recreio's bid for honours, however, is not to be ignored as, by defeating the Kowloon Bowling Green, they are still on the same level as the C.C.C., being two points behind with a match in hand.

ST. LEGER CANDIDATES SUMMED UP
ARTISTS' PROOF 10 TO 1
Prominent advance by two can- didates owned by Mr. Henry Morriss (the Shanghai broker, racing enthusiast and winner of an Epsom Derby with Manna) is the striking feature of the St. Leger market last week. As the race will be run at Doncaster on September 11, there is only a month to go and not too much time at that.

Convincing Victory For The Indians
Competing teams in the Lawn Tennis League are working off arrears, five matches being staged on Saturday. There are still a goodly number of postponed fixtures to be accounted for, and with the three championships still in the balance, interest is being kept

The Chinese R. C. administered a sound thrashing to their nearest rivals, the Hong Kong C.C., in the "B" division. This leaves the field clearer for the C.R.C., who have won eight matches in succession. They are now expected to retain the championship.

The Kowloon Dock R.Ü. who dropped from the top positión asible for the sensational change in week ago to the fifth, have slightly "recovered" to No. 3, their victims being the Police R.C.
In the Second Division, the Civil Service C.C. continue in win ning vein. The Craigengower C.C. also won, whilst the Bowling Green made up for the defeat of their senior team by overwhelming the Club de Recreio. The Electric R. C. fell another rung in the table by going under to the Yacht Club.

C.C.C. v. TAIKOO R.C.
At Happy Valley, the Craigen gower C.C. (leaders) defeated the Taikoo R.C. by 46 shots.
On the first head Basa's rink overwhelmed "Geordie" Morrison's, the latter storing on only five heads. Basa's biggest score was a 6 on the 13th head.
Low scoring and even play was the feature of play on the second rink. Arculli scored 5 on the 15th head and finished three up.
