LOCAL BASEBALL.

A DULL SEASON.

Baseball in the Colony has taken a back seat this year, for although the season is now very well-advanc ed, there have only been a few friendly matches played so far, and none of them was of any special interess. One very nearly ended up in a free fight, while little or no interest was taken in the remainder.

werk. They are U. M. Omar (Craigengower), A. W. Grimmitt and A. H. Oswick (Civil Service).

Omar met R. Lapsley on the Civil Service green last Monday and beat the Kowloon Dock player, who is also a past champion, by 93-9, and his next opponent is the winner of the tie between A. Hyde Lay and H. Gittins, both of the K.C.C. Oswick accounted for A. Macfarlane (Yacht Club) by 21-14, and next meets rither R. F. Luz (Recreio) or G C. Moss (Civil Service). Luz, last season's champion, is playing fine bawls this year and on his present form is hard to beat. Grimmitt de- feated W. Collins (Craigengower) by 23-14. Collins, who had been recently on the sick list, started to get the better of his opponent, but was outplayed. The Civil Service player will meet either E, el Arculli (Craigengower) or E."W. L. Hog- bin (Bowling Green).

In the senior division of the league to-morrow, Craigengower are carrying out their return game with Taikio. The champions in their away match, turned the points in their favour by a margin of two abots. Taikoo will go all out this time after the points, but Craigen gower cannot afford to lose them at this stage and I think will succeed in keeping them. Civil Service"are" travelling to Kowloon On form the Valley team 0.0. should win, but Kowloon C.C. gave them their only defeat so far and one never knows what they may do at home. What a howl there will

no doubt he looked forward to with much interest.

As regard the "A" division, a most interesting match is down for decision to-day-Kowloon and Indians are scheduled to meet on the former's ground, and in all probability the winning team will annex the shield for the season. The odds are slightly in favour of the LR.C., though I must say that the Kowloon side are a lot which cannot be taken too lightly. Their strongest pair are the Fincher brothers, but I doubt very much whether they can beat the Indiana' No. 1 and No. 2 pairs, who are H. D. and S. A. Rumjahn and C. A. L. Rumjahn and J. A. E. Cassumbhoy, respectively. They are of about equal strength, and when the whole four are playing on the top of their form, I doubt whether any other four players in the Colony can touch them.,

As regards the "D" division, interest is almost dying now that the destiny of the shield is more or less decided. The C.R.C. are in a very strong position, so much so that it is well nigh impossible for any other club to touch them. They have already won the "C" shield and, though they would be winning out of turn if they took "B" honours as well, one sup- poses that this must happen since there is no other combination in the league that can stop them.

The programme to-morrow (if the weather does not let us down): will principally be the play-off of postponed matches, as according to

Rugby, although on the program- me, can hardly be considered a championship event, since only three countries, Germany, France, and Rumania, have named teams. Unless Rumanic proves to be the dark horse, France should easily win this championship,
