politive badminton is also nearing its end. That this initial effort to regulate the game in the Colony has been a success is no idle boast, There has been an extraordinary amount of onthusiasm shown by the clubs, and one need seek no further than last week's

has definitely come to stay. Apart from the "A" Division of the Men's Doubles, the Club de Re- crelò have made a clean sweep of the titles. And this is as fitting ns it was expected.

such things are to be expected of 1a competition in its infancy. Far more important is that the teams have carried through their pro- grammes in the best spirit of friendly rivalry and that already clubs are realising the 'benefit of nu organised competitive gume. On all sides players are asserting that they have improved their game 100 per cent. as a direct re- sult of playing in league matches, This in itself is a sufficient justi- Hration of the Badminton League.
