Omar to tie at the 19th head. A 2 and a 1 for Russell gave him a win by 20-17.

Low scoring was the feature of the Guy-Basa tussle, the sides being equal on the eighth and eleventh heads, and at the 18th Then head Basu led by 14--12. Basa got a 4 and a single, for Guy to reply with 3. Basa won by 19-15.

A meritorious effort, indeed! The rinks tied at the thirteenth and seventeenth heads and at the penultimate head Johnson led by 19-17, but his op- ponent got a couple on the last bend. Johnson had a trio of 's whilst Holland's rink had a 4 and

From the list of players an idea Was gathered at the changes in The various rinks, apart from the usual debut of bowlers new to the League. Thus, Adam Holland. formerly of Taikon Dock and in nore recent years a stalwart c the Kolonn Bowling Green Club, has transferred his affections to the Civil Service Cricket Club. H. McTavish has gone from the RB.G.C. to the Kowloon Dock RC A. Tarbutt has gone from the Electric Co. to the Civil Service. and P. T. Farrell has elected to play for the K.C.C. instead of the K.B.G.C.

The Skips

is gen-

Too much prominence erally given locally to the skips, who generally get all the "kudos" if their rinks win and some of the blame if they go down. In the K.B.G.C. the first skips were Rus- sell, Guy and Hall, all of whom have carried their team to victory many a time and oft in the past. Omar and Basa reappeared for the C.C.C., whilst Bradbury's place was taken by Rumjahn. his No. 3 last season. "Charlie" West is The sole survivor of the Police skips, whilst Erawn and Gregory are in their old places in the Civil Service, the newcomer being Hol- land, who last Saturday took the place occupied by Grimmitt a year

ago.

The Taikoo R.C. retain a trusty

Irio in Drummond. Wallace and Ferguson, whilst the Club de Re- creio again rely on Luz, Silva and Marques. Gibson, Fraser and Silkstone

are the

three leaders again for the K.C.C.. the Kowloon Dock entrusting their destinies to Lansley, Brown and Puncheon.

In the Second Division the C.C.C have new skips practically in Pearce, de Souza, and Spink, whilst a new face in the K.B.G.C. as skip is Petherick, the other two Davidson and Drake-having skip ned last season. The moat Büc- cessful skin last season-Roylance has been "promoted" to the No. 1 position in the first team. For the Yacht Club Shields and Shell shear figure as akips once more. the other place being filled by W. Macfarlane, Hollanda and Deakin, for the Civil Service, have skip- red before, Luck taking the other position until the return from short leave of Haynes. Duncan, Grimes, and Munro, for Talkoo: and Alves, Silva, and Ozerio, for the Club de Recreio, are no strang- ers in the position of skip. Mus- kett and Paul again do service for the Electric Co., Webster filling the third place, whilst Robinson, Jack and Labrum are the choice once more of the K.C.C.
