GUTIERREZ SHIELD MATCHES HOLD THE SPOTLIGHT THIS WEEK-END
By "TOUCHER”
With typhoon "Susan" hovering in the vicinity of the Colony during the past two days, it is not likely that the lawn bowls greens will be play able today, and it looks as if the nine League matches scheduled for this week will have to be cancelled.
Should the weather, however, clear up, a few good matches may be seen despite the fact that the titles for all the three divisions of the League have been decided.
LADIES' LEAGUE
In the First Division, the opening year of the competition | CCC-Reercio match at Happy In 1933.

Portsmouth's Search For An Inside Forward Takes Them To London
By ARCHIE QUICK
Portsmouth's search for an inside forward took them to London in force to watch the QPR y. Southampton and Millwall v. Northampton matches, but I doubt if they saw anything to satisfy them.
Rarely does a full Board of Directors turn out, but they were equally divided at Shepherd's Bush and the Den. There is, however, such n gap between Division I and Division III that even the best in the Third needs a lot of adaptation and clubs. in distress like Portsmouth have not the time to adapt them.
