TWO MAJOR UPSETS IN COLONY LAWN BOWLS LEAGUE ON SATURDAY
By "TOUCHER”
Two major upsets and four bottles of whisky were the spoils of the third week's games in the Colony Lawn Bowls League on Saturday, which once again brought out into bold relief that glorious uncertainty of the sport.
To the Kowloon Bowling Green Club first string and the Taikoo Second Division teams went the major team honours of the week when they fully atoned for their opening season's defeats by claiming a brilliant 4-1 triumph each over the strongly favoured Recreio "Blues" and Kowloon Dock Club.

I have an idea that the United States Walker Cup golf team, four of whom I was meeting for the first time at Sunningdale when, still somewhat shaky from the boat, they had their first practice over here, will prove to be one of the most popular ever to visit us.

Their captain; Bill Campbell, is of course an old and valued customer-it is in fact his sixth trip and last year was runner up in the Amateur Championship at Muirfield, One of the sights of that occasion was that of Campbell, who must be about six-foot three, riding down to the course from Gullane each morning rather bow-leggedly on a hired bicycle,

Football League Wants To Restrict "TV”
London, May 22. Television is on the sports pages again. The Football League want to restrict it so that no game in which a League club takes part, whether in competition or a friendly game, can be screened, with the sole exception of the Cup final.
A proposal to this effect, put forward by the manage- ment committee, is to be discussed at the Football League's next meeting early in June.. If it is passed then not only will there be no televising of inter-league club agames, but such international fixtures. as Wolverhampton Wanderers versus the Hungarian Army team Honved or West Ham versus Milar will also be out as League clubs are involved.
