SHANGHAI BOWLS TEAM SAILING BY THE NORVIKEN
DEFINITE NEWS NOW RECEIVED IN THE COLONY
TWO PLAYERS HAVE HAD TO WITHDRAW BECAUSE OF BUSINESS REASONS
(By "Abo")
Although it was announced at the Council meeting of the Hongkong Lawn Bowls Association last Friday that the Shanghai Interporters would probably be sailing by the Norviken on October 5 or 6, this arrangement was by no means certain; for Shanghai had also intimated that if an earlier boat could be found, they would probably take it.

However, information been received in Hongkong that the Shanghol players are saillng de- Ünitely by the Norviken, which leaves that pori on October 6.
Enquiries made at Jardine's this morning revealed that the Norviken will arrive in port on the morning of October 10.
According to the programme drawn up for the visitors by the Council, Uje Northerners are due to play their fest match in the Colony on the day of their arrival at the Kowloon D.G.C. Fears were entertained that the boat may possibly arrive too late in the day for this game to be played; but insofar as can be certain at the pre- Gent moment, the Norviken will be here in good time for the visitors to go to the Kowloon B.G.C. in the afternoon.
TWO PLAYERS WITHDRAW
As already announced, two mem- hers, J. E. Harvey and W. Napier, of the original six have had to with- draw from the team owing to busl- ness reasons, and their places have been filled by J. W. Brierley and J. M. C. Lopes.

There is much grousing "behind the scenes" over the

The arrangement is mainly financial. There is better prospect of reasonable "gates" at matches played in the even- ing than there would be for afternoon games in mid-week later in the season,

From Fred Darinell
Paris, Sept. 5. There was a rather diminished programme for the third day of the European athletic championships, but from the British point of view the tit-bit was kept to the last. I am referring, of course, to the final of the 1,500 metres and, as I assured you yesterday would be the case, Wooderson gained yet another tille for the Old
