CHAMPIONS' LAST OUTING.
[BY BACK WOOD."]'
Three matches which were post- poned during the lawn bowls league season wil be completed to-day. learing the season closed so far as the arst division is concerned. The only other outstanding fixture will, then be the meeting between Taikoo and the Yacht Club in the second division. A replay is necessary be- tween Civil Service and Bowling 10.00 Green Club to decide the junior:
understood championship. It is that the match. will be played next Saturday, but this and the venue will be decided by the. Association at a meeting early next week.
The most interesting match is at Civil Service where Craigongower are the guests. Craigengower have already won the championship, and they will make serious efforts to de- feat their Valley rivals again and thus atone for their double defeat last year. Apart from this, Brad- bury has beaten by two shots the rink record of 116 shots put up by his Club colleague, Basa, last. season. Brad" will be out to im- prove his record and it will be a treat for the spectators if he is drawn against Grimmitt's rink, which is the strongest on the Civil Service side. Club de. Recreio seniors are at home to the Bowling Green. The latter won the previous game at home by 14 shots. Kow- loon C.C. juniors lost at Taikoo by nine shots, and this time they are the hosts.

Another double-header was played' at St. Louis, and the Cardinals won beth games from the Phillies, the first by 9 to 4 and the second by to 4. Each team got 14 hits in the initial game.

In a few days more the Hong Kong representatives will be on the warto Shanghai to contest Inter- port honours. After arrival they will have a few practice games until the end of the week. The acrics of three matches on which the inter-day, August 31. port will be decided this year will commence during the second week 10 September. Whatever the out- come of these matches, some of our members appear to be as keen s mustard and have promised to With bring home the "bacon."
Mr. Clark Atkinson at the head of affairs some keen games with the best of Shanghai's bowlers are anti- cipated So far nothing seems to be known as to the players who have been selected" for Shanghai. For one thing I am in a position to ay that Mr. Aitkenhead, who has proved his abilities on the local greens, will not be playing for Shanghai. I understand from a reliable source that he is a member of the Selection Committee together with Messrs. McAlister (Junior Golf
(Club) and Campbell (SL.B.C.). "Sandy" Malcolm, of Yangtzepoo, is likely to be in the light, but at any rate he will be there to shout his men to victory.
It seems likely that Ferguson and Laing, both of Taikoo, will meet in the fourth round of the open. singles championship. Ferguson's third round opponent is E. G. Cooper (Kowloon Dock). Early in the week Laing eliminated Basta with a score of 21-4, and two days ago he accounted for W. B. Muskett Laing beat the Electric RC player and one of our Interport candidates by 21-8, which does not reflect on the standard of play, which was very high indeed Muskett had his woods on the jack many a time, but with his superior skill Laing came with heavywoods to rest on those of his opponent. At one time the Taikoo player was leading 15-3, but Musketa succeeded in taking five more singles before Gaing secured six more shots to win. Laing is now in the fourth round, where also A. M.
