On the arrangement of the card, three of the teams playing at home in each division appear tu mu to ba favourites for the points. In the senior games, all cyos will be ou Kowloon C.C., whose win over the champions has placed them on the top with maximum points. Kowlohn Dock, in spite of the fact that they have mang experienced Jost bowlers in their tenim, have five games. but it looks as if from now on they are going to stand on their strength.
