Police R. v. Civil Service. When these Clubs met on May 17 the Civil Service won by 76-39, whilst on the Police ground a year ago they won by 61-37. With a weakened team a week ago the Civil Service pipped the plucky Club de Recrelo by just ten shots, but even that margin should be good enough, on form, to keep the Police in cus- tody at the foot of the table to- morrow. Should the latter do bet- ter than that their opponents will be the first to congratulate them.

Kowloon Dock R.C. v. K.C.C. When the Dock team visited tho K.C.C. ground on May 17 they won by 78-58, whilst last season they compiled the big score of 83--37. A week ago the K.C.C. went down badly on their own ground against the Craigengower C.C... whilst the Dock lost by only four shots on their own green against the Bowl- ing Green Club. I backed the Dock; a week ago and must do so again to-morrow.

C.C.C. v. K.B.G.C.

When the Craigengower visited Kowloon on May 17 they suffered their only reverse of the season by, 59-55, whilst in the game at the Valley a year ago they just won by 60-51. They won too easily last Saturday not to be favourites for to-morrow's encounter in spite of the Bowling Green's victory against the rather unlucky Kowloon Dock team. Still, the invariably small margins in their two last meetings suggest the possibility of a sur- prise, if any is to be furnished by to-morrow's 'games.

Taikoo R.C. v. Club'de Recrelo. The first meeting at King's Park this season ended in a draw, whilst last year the Recreio took full points by 60-67. A week ago, the Talkoo Club defeated the Police at the Valley, where the Club de Re- creio put up a good game against the Civil Service. Having been both Clubs in action this season twice I just fancy the chances of Taikoo to-morrow.

DIVISION II.

K.B.G.C. v. C.C.C.

On May 17 the K.B.G.C. went to the Valley and won by 75-67, whilst on their own ground last season they gained the points by 7615. The C.C.C. are relying on the same team that did so well a week ago against the Electric R.C. and they will make a big effort to emulate the K.C.C.'s fine perform- ance against the Bowling Green Club last Saturday,

Civil Service v. Yacht Club. At East Point: on May 17 the Civil Service won by the narrowest possible margin of 63-62, whilst at the Valley a year ago they won by 79-53. Both Clubs lost a week ago and so both should be out to do something better to-morrow. The margin at the finish should be very close.
