THE CHINA MAIL, SEPTEMBER 12, 1941.
CRAIGENGOWER WERE WITHOUT TWO GOOD MEN, BUT NO EXCUSE POSSIBLE FOR POLICE
By "Skip"
Scene: a Volunteer Company Office. Time: 0615 hrs on Sunday morning. Two copies of the "Sunday Herald" are brought in and your "Skip" opens one at the bowls page. "Good Lord" he exclaims, "What's
the matter?" asks his companion, "have they taken Leningrad?" "No." I reply "but Indians beat Crai- gengower." Collapse of said companion!
Little less surprising to my a four at the very first one when mind was the defeat of Police Dick Basu had failed rather bad- third team by Craigengower, even though the game was on the lat-
ter's given. The home team did
not look especially strong, whilst Jock Orem turned out as three to . MacDonald.
onc
Police are atill sitting pret y though, especially In view
of the fact that
of their out. standing games-the last one of the season is against Kowloon Bowling Green Club, who nar. rowly lead in this division. The game is to be played at the Val- loy and as the Police won at
Austin Road recently they must
be full of confidence.
