In the tussle between the Kowloon "A" and the K.O.S.B. there was a certain amount of fouling on both sides, and Simpson of the Kowloon team was ordered out of the bath. He opened the score for his team soon after the start, and lost no time in taking the lead another stage Further.

London, July 27 In the final of the Scottish Ama- teur Golf Championship, played at Aberdeen, John T. Bookless (Nairn) defeated James E. Dawson (Troon) by 5 and 4.

Bookless reached the semi-final of this championship in 1925, won the Nairn Tournament last year and also the Inverness Club Cham- pionship. He was also successful in the Lossiemouth Tournament in 1925.

Dawson reached the last sixteen in the British Amateur Champion- ship two years ago and was in the last eight of the Scottish Amateur Championship also in 1927. He has done the second hole at Cathkin

Braes in one stroke.

WOMEN BEAT THE MEN

Miss Joyce Wethered, the new British champion, captained the team of women against the men in the annual match at Stoke Poges, near Stough. For the second year in succession the men, conceding nine strokes by way of handicap, sustained a heavy defeat, the mar- gin of this occasion being twelve matches to three.

The men's team lacked the sup- port of C. J. H. Tolley, R. H. Wethered, Major Hezlet, and W. Murray, who were engaged else- where, but the women's side was at full strength. Miss Wethered was in irresistible form, her op- ponent having no chance whatever. Neither, in fact, had most of the of other men players, only two

DAILY INSTEAD OF WEEKLY SERVICE?

London, July 11.

As a statesman he has insight and courage. It has only recently become known that it was Sir George Lloyd who, in the fateful hours at the close of July 1914, when British policy in respect to the German challenge was in the balance, sought out Mr. Bonar Law and Lord Lansdowne and urged the imperative necessity of giving spontaneous pledges of support to the Asquith Government if it stood by France and Belgium.
