ROSSELET WINS RINKS FINAL
Brilliant Bowling By- Winning Four: Duncan's Splendid Efforts Fail
(By "Wick")
ON RELATIVE FORM, it was by an extreme- ly flattering margin—20-16—that C. S. Rossolot's rink (R. Basa, A. E. Coates and J. S. Landolt) triumphed over R. Duncan's four (A. Calman, W. Houston and E. Lavott) in the final of the lawn bowls rinks championship at the Kowloon Foot- ball Club yesterday. For the greater part, it was only the brilliant efforts of Duncan that saved his side from complete annihilation.

On occasions, far too few to be of any real assistance, Houston and Levett opened up pos- cibilities, but Rosselet, too, like his opposite number, was to be relied upon, and the skips' duels, which were, perhaps, the outstanding feature of the match, never failed to alter, Local Baseball the situation.

UNDER A HOT and blistering sun which played havoc with energy, Police and Kwong Wah football teams shared four goals in a friendly pre-season encounter at Boundary Street on Saturday. Despite this and their long lay-off of football, the form displayed by both teams presages a strong challenge to last season's top-liners.
