Championship For Kowloon Dock,

HELD ON TWO RINKS.

Taikoo's Bid In The Second Division.

[By "Short Head."} At last the championship in the First Division of the Bowls League has been decided, and the Kowloon Deck Recreation Club are to be warmly congratulated on securing the honour for the first time in their history. An offshoot of the Bowling Green Club, the Kowloon Dock R.C. have shown that "Jack la as good as his master," but their con- freres of the premier Club will be the last to begrudge them the honour this season. All that mat- to them is that the championship has come to Kow

ters now
