CIVIL SERVICE SPEY CUP TRIAL.
Tuesday's Game On
Police Green.
The Civil Service are holding a final Spey Royal Cup Trini, in pre- paration for their Second Round jratch against Kowloon Docks, on the Police green on Tuesday.
The rinks are as follow:
R. P. Phillips, N. J. Bebbington, F. Jones and A. W. Grimmitt (skip).
T. Armstrong, S. Alderman, J. J. W. Deakin F. McGowan and (skip).
The winning rink will be the C.S.C.C. representatives.
Playing brilliantly through- out the British Columbia Championship, which attract- ed an entry of 160, he eliminat. ed two former champions to reach the Semi-Final Round. Grimmitt was then on a tour of British Columbia with the official Canadian team.
Grimmitt has never reached the Final of the Colony Championship. Last year, after the experience he had gained in Canada, he appeared a certainty for the title, but he was eliminated by R. F. Luz, the 1929 champion in the Fourth Round.
