CHINA YEAR BOOK
1931
EDITED BY
H. G. W. WOODHEAD, 0.B.E.
"A Mentor Superb..... It is not an exaggeration to any that The "China Year Book" is one of the most remarkable produe. tions of its kind in the world..
No-one who pretends to desire to discuss or study affairs in China can afford to do with. out this book."-North-China Daily News.
The "China Year Book', as it is presented to-day, is a volume that no newspaper, commercial, government, in fact any office can do without."China Prons."
"There is no single work containing such a mass of varied and most useful information on things Chinese as the "China Year Book." Similar publications exist in many other countries, but few can compare with, and none excela, the latest isane of this work."-Finance & Commerce,

LAWN BOWLS.
(Continued from Page 8.)
20-12. The home rink scored on the last four heads and won by 21-20. They had one 4 and one
3. whereas the visitors had three 4'.
Kowloon Dock v. Talkoo. Lapsley's rink was opposed, to Wallace's, the former going down for the third Saturday in succes- sion-changed days for veteran "Bob." Delails of the play in this and the other rinks are not avail- able, but I am told that the play was every whit aa keen as on the preceding Saturday when the Kow- loon Dock surrendered the points to the Civil Service by only three shots.
Cullen's rink had another win, Acoring 26 shots to 15 against Ferguson, but Brown lost for the second Saturday in succession, the honour of having his scalp going to Drummond's rink by 20-12. In the end the Talkoo Club won the match by 63-59,

AMERICAN BAIT FOR
COCHET.
Inducement to Turn Professional.
DAVIS CUP FIRST,
New York, May 4.
A very attractive offer to meet the winner of the Tilden-Richarde tennis matches is being made to Henri Cochet, the French lawn tenina champlon, says to-day's New York Tribune. Jack Curfey, the tennis wrestling promoter, who has already enlisted the services of Tilden, Richards, and Karel Kozeluh, is understood to have re- quested the former French boxer, George Carpentier, to act as his representative for the purpose of Foducing Cochet to turn profes- sional.
Curley wants Cochet to play the winner of the world's professional championship in the Autumn, which would allow of the Davis Cup being decided before he. for- sook his amateur status.
Boxers of the Berg type who fight at top speed all the time, and against every sort of opposition, without modifying their policy ac- cording to circumstances, find some day that they have over- drawn Nature's banking account, and then there's the devil to pay. -Fred Dartnell.

The question of putting the ball in the scrum will always ba source of trouble until the Rugby Unions deal with the matter with a firm hand. The only way to stop the nuisance once and for all is to allow no one to lift his feet except the two hookers and the two outside men opposite to where the ball enters the scrum.-W. H. Brown, Somerset Rugby Union,
Ozorio's four were drawn against Lanny's four, the latter scoring on only seven heads, the home sido getting the verdict by 32-12. The Recreio's total included three 4's and two 3's, whilst the losers had one 4. A closer game was that between Alves's and Webster's rinks, the home side, after being down 7-0 at the fourth head, winning by 22 18. They secured one 4 and two 30, the visitors scoring two 8's.
C.C.C. v. Yacht Club. Souza's rink were drawn against Ramsay's rink and the latter were up 10-0 at the sixth head and 21-6 at the 18th head. Then the locals reason that the majority sacrifice got a 7 and ultimately lost by only ability and ball control for speed 24-21. The visitors had a and dash. Less attention is paid couple of 4's and three 3's, whilst to the finer arts of the game in the home rink had one 7 and a 3. the tremendous desire to score
