Taikoo v. K.C.C. Last year the K.CC. nearly sprung a surprise at Talkoo, los ing by only 63-54, as compared with their defeat in the previous year by 75-47. Talkoo finished on the losing side a week ago, whilst the K.C.C. put it over their old friends and rivals of Kowloon Dock. The skipe on both sides are all tried and trusty players, and this ought to invest to-mor- row's game with a great deal of

The forecast is no brighter than the overcast sky, although my meteorological informant tips a dry day for Sunday!

Last year's match was won by the Civil. Servants by 73-57, but the year before they went down by 58-53. They had to own the superiority of the Yacht Club week ago, wherens the Craigen- gower lost on their own green to the Bowling Green Club. There are fewer changes in the Civil Ser- vice this season than in the Craig- engower, although the former are said to be awaiting the return from short leave of a certain skip before they are fated to meet big guns in the Division.

It seems hardly likely that the Electric Company will "shock" Taikoo to-morrow to the same ex- tent ns last season-81-41. The
result may be more similar to that of a couple of seasons ago-64-59 favour of the Electricians. Both leams lost a week ago, but, even so, Taikco appear the better all-round team and may to-morrow atone for the last two defeats on foreign soil.
Of the four First Division matches
to-morrow on the card those between the K.B.G.C. and the Civil Service and between the
in Club de Recreio and the Kowloon Dock should be the closest The Craigengower C.C., at home, should be good enough for the plucky Police team, who gave by no means indifferent display against the Civil Servants a week ago.
At Taikoo the K.C.C. will find themselves up against a tough proposition. In the Second Div- sion all the contests are in doubt, with the exception, perhaps of the with the Civil Servlee encounter Craigengower C.C.
FIRST DIVISION.
K.B.G.C. v. Civil Service. After losing a week ago to the C.C.C. by the unlucky "18" the Bowling Green Club should. be on their best behaviour if they mean to prevent another Valley team running away with full points. A year ago the Civil Service won by 62-61 after "Fireman" Mosa had burned a head in a very dramatic manner. Two years ago the Bowl- ing Green
won by three shots- 61-58. The personnel of the Bowling Green team has under- gone considerably more changes than that of their visitors to- morrow, and this may be a decid- ing factor in the match.
C.C.C. v. Police.
A year ago the Police went under to the tune of 60-42, but in the previous year they lost by only 61-58. They, have this sea- RUN an odd mixture of veterans and griffins at the game, but such à team le quite likely to spring one or two surprises before the season is over. If the newer boys can be infected with "Charlie" West's great enthusiasm anything may happen even against a solid team like the Craigengower C.G. The latter tasted first blood in an away match a week ago and are, therefore, confident of the issue to-morrow.
