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.

The widest margin of victory was registered by Craigengower CC. who, on their own green, defeated the newly-promoted Hongkong F.C. by 46 shots.

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 amateurs in the same manner ratings are given in other sports, and that brought question back that was stumper.
"Why?" he asked. "Just for pub-") lelty fodder?
The Walker Cup choices just about serve the same purpose, don't they? Nine players are selected, but we make no ntimpt to list them in order. We just put the names down alphabetically and let it go at that. I'd hate to try to list them 1-2-3-4.
"Yes, I've heard some suggestions for a Ryder Cup-Walker Cup match for charity. It would be interesting. wouldn't 11" Which was quite a frank statement for a fellow who isn't in much of a position to speak without getting together a quorum of committeemen to seo that it was quite nil right.

MISGIVING'S
EY has his misgivings as to just how the amateurs would fore in such a maleh.
"Those pros are awfully good," he mused. "Of course match play is the amateur game, but the pros are more consistent. Funny, isn't it, 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 too. Take Goodman, Jones, Quimet, Ward, for example. Ward always has been a fine medal player.
"You hear a lot about Bud Ward fine player he is. It's Now, what a

"And speaking of good amateurs, don't overlook Ray Billows. He was rurinerup the last two years in the National, and that's something."

AMATEUR RULES

"Our rules are reasonable,” said. "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.
"But the rules also have teeth in them. We've done a lot of quiet in- vestigating of charges of violation of the code, but we never pubilelse It. You'll notice that in our reports we list the names of players who aro reinstated, but never those of players whose applications were denied.
"Accepting unauthorised
expense money, and capitalising on skill are the chief problems. Sure, I'm an amateur although I work for the as- sociation. In fact," he grinned, "I'm an amateur in every way, including playing."
"Yes," he concluded, "I'm sorry, but there's no news to-day."
