Not Many Sides Likely To Extend Club
This Season
All Round Strength Shown Against Kowloon C. C.
(By "R. AbBII")
It is a bit carly to talk at present of League games but I must confess that I do not see any side that on present form is likely to extend the Club. All the same some teams seem to "train on" as the season advances and others among them the Club-are apt to sag a bit.

Led 19-1. At One Stage In Match With Hongkong F.C.
(By "Abo")
The Shanghai Interport lawn bowlers made auch a splendid start in their game with the Hongkong Football Club at Happy Vallay yesterday that they were leading by 11-0 at the end of the first five heads and 19-1 after the eighth. Having established such, a substantial lead, the visitors were never in danger of defeat and finally finished up winners by 26-14.

The fast and wkle-drawing green made control of the woods difficult, and the upshot was a mixture of good and indifferent bowls. There were a few poor heads, but there. were also some fine ones in which the position was changed with almost every wood sent down.

Tommy Farr is Suspended
London, Oct. 14. The British Boxing Board of Control has announced that Tommy Farr's licence is sus- pended from to-day.
Commenting
from Now York on his suspension, Farr said: "I won't pay on principle. Maybe I will never want to return to England, therefore it is immaterial to me if I never fight again in England.”
The payment referred to is the fine of £750 which the Board of Control has imposed on Farr, and which he has
steadfastly refused to pay.
