League Matches Might Start Later
Present Conditions Uncomfortable
Kowloon F.C. And K. Tong Fight For Promotion
ACCORDING a Royal Observatory announce. ment, the temperature on Saturday was 92.5 degrees, but at the Club where I was playing the thermometer read 94 in the shade. This latter reading was probably in- accurato; yet it was far too hot for comfort and the sight of players walking up and down under the blazing sun, I should imagine, is a strong enough argument for mat- ches to commence at 4.30 or even at 5 p.m.
Greens overywhere were "fiery" and good control was needed for high-standard bowling. There were no upsets in the League programme, which provided Craigengower C.C. with another clean sweep in the First Division.
