C. G. SILVA'S FINE WIN IN RINKS FINAL

Whatever hopes Craigengower had of winning the Second Divi-" sion Lawn Bowls League championship vanished into thin air as the result of their unexpected defeat last Saturday, at the hands Though of their neighbours, the Hong Kong Football Club "A". they have another match to play, it is not even likely they may end the season as Tunners-up, as they can only obtain this position Recrelo lose to the Police this Saturday, which does not seem possible.

The Civil Servants in the First Division have completed their Axtures and find themselves at the bottom of the League Table. Their defeat last Saturday at the hands of Kowloon Dock has made relagation inevitable. irrespective of the result of the match this Saturday between. the Police and the Kowloon Dock, as both these teams have more points than they at present.

Silva, the week before, lost his 100 per cent record in his last match. And now W V. Feld. who, up to last Saturday, had had an un- beaten record. also lost it in his last match. He was beaten by W.

OF TEST SELECTION
Re-Introduction Of Old Blood With Ashes Lost
PATHETIC FAITH IN EDRICH
By New L.B.W."
The English team to meet the Australians in the Fifth Test match at the Oval on Saturday, as announced on August 14, contains a few more examples of the inexplicability of the working of the minds of the Home selection committee. From this distance any criticism must be tinged with a certain amount of conjecture, though on the race of it the choosing of 14 men. three of whom will have to resign themselves to being "members of the ground staff." (to use an.ex- pression coined by members of the M.C.C. team in Australia in 1932- 3) seems a clear-cut mistake.
The main surprises in the names de-announced are Leyland, Ames and ́ Edrich, and here an indication is of the wide difference be- given tween the methods of the Austro- lian cricket authorities and the
