Only two matches, both in the Saturday should have witness Mixed Doubles; were decided "ined the close of the Lawn Bowls the Tennis League during the League season, but the heavy rafus from Thursday evening onward week, the continuous unklud caused a complete abandonment of weather being again responsible all games. for a blank day on Saturday.
Although the League is now concerned merely with the play ing-off of postponed fixtures, the programme is still a fairly long way behind, but once the various championships have been decidad it is more than likely, with tha season already so far advanced, that the majority of the remain- ing matches will be abandoned.
Chinese I.C. Do Well. Going through their fixtures without a single reverse, the Chin- ese R.C. have won the "C" shield. At this stage, they have also a clean slate in the "B" division, with the exception that here they have still two matches to play- agaidat the Craigengower C.C. and the South China A.A. On form, they should have little di- culty in emulating the example of their "C" team and carry everything before them. but, abould they fall in either of these two matches the Indian R.C., who have suffered only one defeat, will once again come into the picture. Slow Progress
►
The "A" division league has made very alow progress. The IR.C. and the Kowloon C.C. are the only undefeated sides just now, but they have taken the field -on-only-two-occasions. Here, the. Sockumpoo aggregation, with some of the best exponents locally in their ranks, expect to have their name inscribed on the shield. Should this come about, it will be after an absence of seven years, so that they will not be winning out of turn.
Mixed Doubles
The Mixed Doubles League pro- mises to resolve itself into a stern atruggle for premier honours be. tween the IR.C. and the United Services R.C. who are due to meet this week. Taken all round, the teams appear to be of about the same strength; whereas the Indians have a better trio of men players, the ladies of the U.S.R.C. are undoubtedly of a cinas by themselves.
