In spite of the fact that it was late afternoon. It was still hot and Big John and Mr Wong 'were glad of any shade they could get under the canopy at the side of the bowling green, John signed another 'visitor's chit' and both he and his companion sighed their pleasurable ap- preciation as they downed a long draught of Cooling lager.
Since his return to the Colour Plz John had been catching up on the many happenings in its sporting affairs during His Tong. abscpot and of course Me Wong - himself a keen lawn bowler had køyer lost an opportunity to slip in a good word for his favourite pastline.
"The bawllug in Hongkong is beller than ever it was," he had told the big fellow repeatedly, "and the sooner you get back in taking on Anterest in tagalo the more shall like it"
Big John, always a slow starter, had promised he'd get round to it in good time, "And when I do, m'lad; you and your Hong Slings and your Erle Liddells and your Hassans, the ax farally and your Perelres had better look cut, for white 1 was moving about the world 1 roßed a uifty wood now and arel," he had warned.
Pretty Good
They watched a particularly thrilling head on the rink immo- diately in front of them and without betraying the fact to kin friend, me John found himself grudgingly admitting that the standard of bowls in theso First Division matclics was pretty good.
He had never really enjoyed playing in league games if only because of the tremendous concentration they demanded. lo much preferred the congenial lighthearted afternoon roll-up with a few of his old friends, but nevertheless he had never failed to appreciate that there was a lot of excellent bowla played in the tense atmosphere of the weekly team competitipp.
As the head built up in front of them it was obvious that both rinks were right on their game, Secretly, Big John was End- ing it most exhilarating but his deliberately contrived poker face had air Wong worried... and a Bille bli baffled. "My, but this is a groud end,” the lalter said by way of opening
the conversation.
Big John, with his ebin cupped in his hand, appeared not to hear,
so Wong hail another go.
“1 xalji (his was a grand end," he repeated a little louder, but it drew only a frown from his pal who retaliated in grumbling lones without shifting his position.
"Oh, it's not bad, but it's not finished yet. Walt the skips have had their bash: they'll probably make a mess of the whole thing."
Skips' Table
"What. these are two of the best skips in the First Division and what's more they're up among the leaders in the Skips Table," replied Mr Wong with more than just a touch of irritation in his voice, but as soon as he had spoken he realised he had kald the wrong thing. The Skips' Table had heen a very sore point with the bir fellow for years.

Jon contrived to look indifferent to Wong's remark. He was
The position at that moment was tlust the skip who was going to play frat was already lying two shots although both of them were far from being Invulnerable.
The skips 'In rotation delivered their two woods without changing Abo count at all and as the woods were kicked back for the next head Big John swang round to Mr Wong. There was fighting light in his eyes.
"After a head like that, don't ever talk to me again, about the sp- called Skips' Table, I can remember when skips were in fact skips. Why, old Bradbury would never have been as timid as that. He would ave been through that head like a bob. And Joe Landoll-why, in a situation like that he would have unleashed one of his 'dam-èm-all' drives and, probably after two or three wicks, he would have had a count of three or four in his favour,

didn't do very much will their woods but they built up the head by giving cood advice to the men In front... Whatever Mr Wong was going to say in support of the two skips will never be known for Big John was in like a flash in defence of bis polní of view.
"I've never heard such a plece of poppycock in my life. You play bowls by rolling woods at the Jack. You don't play it with your tongue telling other people what to do. I could do that sitting here... and in fact some local bowlers I know have been doing it for more years that I care to remember.

why, a skip's Jol: Is the easiest in the rink. If your front men have left you mirely placed for a count you carefully 'talkoo your woods as artistically as possible while if they've left you In a pretty pickle you have a bash with a few pounds on and hope for a succession of lucky wicks. If your effort comes off you look all coy Aid suur just as though you meant It: If it falls, you spread your hands while and rip a sily off Your front men for leaving you in such a hopeless position. Someligies of course, when there's no dankar, a skip does try a shot and if it succeeds he thinks to himself that should do me a bit of good on the Jolly old ships' Jable this week"," Big John had got himself so completely carried away with DisTMzet-
that he had failed to police the two skĺps coming round behind his chair but he couldn't miss the two woods that were dropped Indiscreetly in his lap....par could he miss the significance of the accompanying message, incomplete as it was,

America's oarsmen won four out of five starts at the Henley Royal Re- gatta laat week and they won everyone's heart in that one defeat.
It was a race that cost them more than US$20 for each of those deadly 436 seconds. Elght teenagers from the Phillips Academy paid $10,000 for the round trip. They were put out of the Thames Cup in the first heat by an arm's length! Only one yard separated them from Thames Rowing Club.
