"H.B." DARTS LEAGUE
Owing to the absence of the Navy from Hong Kong on the summer cruise, and the fact that various clubs, Navy and Army Senior Rank Messes are more in favour of outdoor recreation during the summer season, it was decided to run. the present League as a pre- liminary, with the view that in the cooler weather it may be possible, to conduct a League on a much larger scale and to divide the League into two sections.
The game of darts is becoming increasingly popular, and is a pastime, which caters for all classes and tastes. Professional and business men, general workers, tinkers, tailors, soldiers and sailors all find relaxation in the flight of the dart towards the little round board. The gumes so far played reveal that the majority of players throw a "pretty" dart, and consistent high scoring has been shown in all, matches.
HIGHEST SCORE
The highest score to date is held by R. Burden, R.A.O.B., "IG.C.) with 60, 20, 60-140. This is closely followed by D. Shutler (P.O.'s Course) with 134
"
The best game finish goes to S., Fleeton (Embassy Cafe) with a three dart finish of 8, 18 double 20-84. This is only one point ahead
of J. Sheppard (P.O.'s Course) with 4, 19 double 20-83.
F. Rowlands hold the distinction of finishing 301 for game with scores of 73. 54. 65, 44, 53, and 1st dart miss 2nd dart double 4 a total of 17 darts.

In a recent Test Match between England and Australia, a Bar- nett played on either side. Such a coincidence in sport, arid espe- cially in international sport, is not common. Seldom has Wimble- don, seen more than two Smiths in one tournament, or a Cap Final match more than two Joneses among 22 men.
Does it follow that adaptability to any one form of sport, is not determined by a sporting gentleman's surname?
But does this always hold true?
