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 Shangbai 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 carlier boat could be found, they would' probably take it.
However, information has now been received In Hongkong that the Shanghai players art sulling de- finitely by
which The Norviken. leaves that port on October 0.
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, the Northerners are due to play their first match in the Colony on the day of their arrival at the Kowloon D.G. Fears were entertained that the. may possibly arrive too late in the day for this game to be played; but Insofar as can be certain at the pre- sent 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- bers, J. E. Harvey and W. Napier, of the original six have had to with- draw from the team owing to busi- ness reasons, and their places have been filled by J. W. Brierley and J. M. C. Lopes.

A. M. Gutierres (C. L), J. M. C. Lopes (Recs.). W. J. MacDermott
(P.R.C.) and
K. L. Swartzell
(J.CAC.).
A strenuous programme has been arranged for the visitors, who wil have to play every day during their stay in the Colony. Apart from the three Interport matches, they will meet several First Diviston as well as some junior teams.

Football Managers Are Worried
London, Sept. 14. Many Soccer managers are badly worried, and club direc- tors seriously alarmed. over the staggering crop of casual- t'es which has already neces- sitated some of the most hectic team-changing we have seen in years.
There is much grousing "behind the scenes" over the necessity for playing two matches per week
at this stage of the campaign when grounds are bone hard, but nobody seems to be able to do anything about it.
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..
But some club officials are
beginning to wonder if the extra "bobs" are worth while in view of injuries already sustained by costly players.
The Kowloon C.C. held a successful cricket trial last Saturday, and though no new talent was unearthed some of last year's stalwarts showed good early season form. Plcture shows R, Baldwb, a member of the junior eleven, being bowled by W. L. McKenzie-Staf Photo- grapher.
