In addition to the annual inter-club League competitions which begin this afternoon with a programme of 14 matches in the three divisions, and other annual events. such as the Colony Open Championships, the International Competition, the Aitkenhead Shield match, and the Inter-hong pairs event, the coming season will be highlighted by the Colony's participation in the Empire Games at Cardiff for the second time in our lawn bowls history.

Destroys Confidence
This is the sort of thing that destroys a player's confidence In himself and in the officials around him. If Szeto Yius feels he has been badly let down. who will blame him? Certainly his omission has raised groat disappointment in many places, He has been the Colony's most consistently successful player in representative fool. ball this season; he plays equal- ly well in either of the full back positions or at left half; yel suddenly he is denied pre- mier honours What a poor re- ward?
It has been quoted 03 Ад 'excuse', or reason,
that the for the Hongkong Selection
was selected geme Spartak from players who are available to represent Hongkong in the forthcoming Asian Games,
but Ho Cheung-yau was given a place in BOTH this line-up and the All-Hongkong
team und, on current fam and re- performancco In this cent season's show games, Szelo Yiu was every bit as, worthy of a alimilar double award
The two Kongkung selections are, certainly controversial both in palley and in personalities, but this is not a reflection on the players who had no say in
their selection.
NeverthelessS they had the repulation of the Interport Committee in their keeping and it is a thousand pitles the series has been cancelled nt the last minute for it would have boon most interesting fo see how they fared against op- position as strong as Spartak..
