RECREIO PAIR'S EASY WIN
The drizzle which fell shortly after five o'clock yesterday after- noon did not prevent the three Open Pairs Lawn Bowls Cham- `pionship games on the Bowling Green Club from being played, though only one game produced a close finish, the encounter be- tween J.

HE "B" Division of the tennis League, which commences this afternoon, promises to be very interesting. There are several teams of more or less equal strength, and from players nominated, it is most difficult to forecast the ultimate winners of the title.
CHINESE RECREATION CLUB, LAST YEAR'S CHAM- PIONS, HAVE AS USUAL, A POWERFUL WELL BALANCED TEAM WITH, SEVERAL PLAYERS WELL UP TO THE STAN- DARD OF THE SENIOR LEAGUE. NG KAM-CHUEN AND P. F. TSOL, WHO REACHED THE QUARTER-FINALS OF THE COLONY OPEN DOUBLES, HAVE BEEN SPLIT UP AND WILL PARTNER LUK CHUN-CHEUNG AND S. W. LIANG, RESPEC- TIVELY.
I have no record of the current form of Luk Chun-cheung, as he was eliminated by H. D. Rumjahn in the First Round of the Colony Singles, and, owing to the fact that his partner, Iu Tak-lam was forced to withdraw early on, took no part in the doubles. I have no doubt, however, that he is well up to standard and with Ng Kam-chuen to steady him, there is no reason why this com- jbination should not perform with every credit. de
