The Hongkong 1955 Lawn Bowls League season practically comes to its close this afternoon when the Second Division League winners will be decided.
Twelve more matches →→→ seven in the First Division, one in the Second Divi- sion and four in the Third Division still remain to be played after today's games, but the results will be of little significance except for the three First Division teams→→ IRC "Gold", Recreio "Whites" and Filipino Club who will have still to fight hard to avert relegation into the Second Division.

ETERNA MATIC
•
DATO
The first self-winding Calendar watch on a ball-bearing.
Eterna offers you a self-winding watch of two-fold value not only does it tell you the time, second by second, but it records the date, day by day. This new Eterna-Matic gives final and decisive proof of the exceptional merit of automatic winding on a ball-bearing. The 5 microscopic steel balls in the Eterna ball-bearing are absolutely-unbreakable. Better still, instead of wearing out as a "staff" does this bearing (which is no bigger than a pin's head) is self-polishing, thus its winding efficiency increases as it works. Needless to say, this constant automatic winding of the movement has a decisive influence on the accuracy of the watch and, at the same time, enables it to accumulate a power-reserve of 44 hours. This amazing performance has so impressed leading New York reporters that they have spontaneously declared that the Eterna-Matic eliminates" all previous winding systems.
The Elema-Matic system of winding on a ball- bearing is so highly-perfected that it has enabled Eterna to construct the world's smallest waterproof self-winding watch the ladies' Eterna-Matic.

Floodlit Soccer Is Just A Bright
For The Future
Says DON REVIE
There is a move afoot to sell the paying customers the idea of an Anglo-Scottish Floodlit Soccer League. Sounds good enough, doesn't it? Clubs like Arsenal, Spurs, Manchester City and Newcastle United would play the Scottish crack_teams, Hibernians, Hearts and Partick Thistle.
Originally, Glasgow Rangers were interested in this scheme, scheduled to start this season, but latest reports indicate they have dropped out. Theirs is the wise decision.
