CORRESPONDENCE.

*" PUBLIC, GAMING."

To the Editor of the China Mall"]

Sir.-In common with a lot of other people, I should be glad of answers to the following queries: (1) Is it a fact that public gaming has been going on in Kowloon for the past fortnight and is intended to continue for another month?

(2) Is it a fact that this gaming is. against the law?

RESULTS OF · · LEAGUE MATCHES ON SATUR- DAY:

busy day on Saturday in the Lawn Bowls players had another League competition. The Kaw loon Docks R.C. still retain their position at the top of the table with six wins and only one defeat. The scores:

an excellent display of snappy. biseball when the Hongkong Base bull Club and the Mitsui Bussan Kileha players met on the diamond. No less than 126 non-members paid for admission to the stand, which is orected so that its occupants are well protected from the sun. Among the large gathering present (3) Is it a fact that the hands of was Mr. Gale, Consul-General for the United States, who pitched the the Police are tied in the matter first ball, Mr. K. Gunji, Japanese | and, if so, how and why i Vice-Consul and Mr. H. Tsuda, Manager of the M. B. K. in Hong kong. The American team won the match by 9-5. First time at bat they scored six, adding three more at their third essay. The Japanese scored one run in every business inning except the and fourth. With the exception of the second half of the 1st inning the Japanese fairly held their own in the field and the game was by no means as one-sided as the score indicates. Arrangements are be ing made for matches on June 30, July 4 and 7. On July 4 the usual "stunt" game between Married v, Single will be staged and should provide plenty of amusement. On the other dates the Americans will probably be at home to the South China and M. B. K teams. Dan Chen, a South China man, did valiant work on Saturday for the Americans. Messrs. R. M. Johnson and D. M. Biggar kindly officiated as umpires.

FIRST INNING. M. B. K-Edo out at first. Though Honda reached second on a fly, Saido and Wuno were both struck out by O'Connor.

(6) Is it a fact that, although Hongkong people appear to like paying out so much commission to strangers in order to have their little flutter in this way, local con- cerns are not allowed by the Authorities to meet their require ments? and why not?
