According to indications at the time of writ- ing, the week-end programme is likely to be seriously interfered with by the weather. It would mean either a "wash-out" or play- ing on saturated greens. I expect to ace the visiting Shipbuilders take the points.
*
It will be recalled that last season Civil Service defeated Craigengower in both their meet- ings, which, however, did not pre yent the latter from gaining the champonship after a replay with Kowloon Dock. The present, meet- ing on the ground of the cham- pions is the most interesting match of the afternoon because Civil Service alone hold the distinction of being still undefeated, and they will do everything possible to put an obstacle in the way of the cham- pions, who are out to do the "hat I think the home team will trick." win, in which case both Clubs will stand on an even footing with one defeat in early half the season's
matches.
*
The Police made the nearest ap proach to victory last week when they were at home to the Kowloon cricketers. On this occasion there
was very little difference on all the rinks which cost them defeat by two shots. They are visiting the Kow loon Bowling Green Club, where they will be faced with a hard task. If they could reproduce their last week's form to reduce the margin in what looks like certain defeat, they would have done well with the material they have in hand.

The only advantage I can see is that Givil Service are playing on their own ground in the presence of many of their own folk, which must be a point in their favour. If the home team succeed in doing it, then their chances of beating the Kowloon Bowlers at the end of the course after fruitless attempts during the past two seasons will be very bright indeed.
In the other junior matches tee home teams strike me as the pro- ble, winners. Club de Recreio commenced the season with two de feats, but their three subsequent successes and the way they achieved. them give promise of being carried farther when they receive the Blectricians. Taikoo have lost all their four matches succession, but
I think they will be able to retain the points this time when they en tertain Kowloon C.C. The Yacht Club should also have their sails well up when they are at home to Craigengower.

Playing on their own ground last Wednesday, the Chinese Recrea tion Club scored afother 9-0 win, this time over the German Tennis Club. The latter are not very strong, but they are a very sport- ing bunch who merely play for the love of the game. The CR.C. are really the strongest side in the League and it is almost a foregone conclusion that they will carry off the honours in this division, and also in the "B" section. Whether they will annex the "A" divison honours as well will depend largely upen the result of their match with the Indians á postponed fixture, the date for which has not yet been fixed.
