Wallace had a big score over Omar, but Wotherspoon lost to Rumjahn by a solitary shot. The Taikoo boys assert that they are by no means out of the run- ning for the championship in spite of the big lead obtained by their Triends at Kowloon Dock.

The result of the remaining match was as expected, the League leaders easily accounting for the Police Recreation Club by 28 shots and incidentally scoring their biggest aggregate of shots this season, as the fol- lowing record shows:.

It is a coincidence that. the Police scored the exact number of shots that they did on the occasion of the first match this

season at Happy Valley. Lapsley preserved his unbeaten record by downing Sword's rink by seven shots -not too many considering the weak composition of the lat ter. Six shots separated Moss from Cullen, but Gray had a 16- shots margin over Mair.

The Yacht Club showed signs last Saturday that the date of their frat victory cannot be long de- layed, which adds a spice of un- certainty to the morrow:
