The most interesting bowls League match to-day is that between the Kowloon Dock team and Club de Recreio. It will be noticed that the former won very easily in the corresponding game last season, and but for their two defeats I would forecast a similar re- sult. I think the Portuguese may just win, but will have to fight +H. K. F. C. “A"} every inch of the way. I do not expect to see more than six or seven shots in their favour at the finish.

With their present powerful team, it is only natural that the Valley side have left it undisturbed: the Police will also be fielding the samo representatives as on last Saturday,
After their great victory over the Portuguese team, Kowloon Cricket Club will no doubt be on the crest of the wave: they will have to be at their best. however, to overcome their neighbours, the Kowloon Bowling Green Club, and candidly I do think they can do it-their guests are too steady from lead to skip.
