SURPRISE
Stiff Task For Recreio "A" To-day Kowloon B.G.C. May Take Points
(By "Wick")
LAST WEEK'S PROGRAMME in the First Division of the Lawn Bowls League did not have as many close results as expected. Kowloon C.C. did well enough to hold Club de Recreio-“A”, the champions, to 12 shots, but other winning teams had plenty to spare at the finish,
Craigengower's Strength
The widest margin of victory was registered by Craigengower C.C. who, on their own green, defeated the newly-promoted Hongkong F.C. by 46 shots. The Craigen- gower green, as all local bowlers know, takes a bit of time to get used to, but it was not altogether the green that enabled the home men to win so easily. They were play- ing a brand of bowls which would have beaten a stronger side than the Footballers.
Even allowing for the fact that A. R. Dallah, probably their best skip, was absent from the team, it was surprising to see the Indians lose as badly as they did to the Kowloon B.G.C. at Sookunpoo. Véry few leams

GOLF SECRETARY SPEAKS OUT
Medal And Match Play- Amateurs & Pros-Compared
NEW YORK (AP)-Joe Dey would one long leg around the other until he looked like a totem pole and reckoned that yes, there was' no news,
Joe Dey is the under-cover man of the U. S. G.A. As Executive Secretary he just does all the work, but you can't find his name anywhere but in the telephone book.
He was asked casually why it might not be a bad idea to rate the first 10 amatours in the same manner ratings are given in other sports, and that brought a question back that was stumper.
"Why?" he asked. "Just for pub- licity fodder?
The Walker Cup choices just about serve the same purpose, don't they? Nine players are selected, but we make no attempt to list them in order. We just put the names down alphabetically and let it go at that.: I'd hate lo try to list them 1-2-3-4.

MISGIVINGS
DEY has his misgivings us to just
how the amateurs would fure in such match.
"
Those pros are awfully good," ho muted. "Of course match play Is the amateur game, but the pros are more consistent. Funny, isn't Rt, how some players are fine match players and fold up in medal play? Just the difference in playing an opponent and cold figures.
"The really good amateurs, though, are good medal players 100. Take Goodman, Jones, Quimet, Ward, for example, Ward always has been a Ane medal player.
"You hear a lot about Bud Ward how, what a fine player he is, It's -true-but-it-ho-hadn't won the amateur ho'd just be another fellow who didn't win the open. He'd have won that if it weren't for a brace of

"Our rules are reasonable," sald "A person may be a pro in other sports and still compete as an amateur golfer. We also permit pros and amateurs to compete together. They can't in tennis, although I un- derstand the U. S. L. T. A. has sug- gested it a couple of times.
