Too Many Skips Will Spoil Broth

UNBALANCED RINKS"

There is little doubt that the Shanghai Lawn Bowls Association selections for the Interport against Hong Kong will cause a deal of comment, and, whilst the choosing of an Interport team is a most thankless task, it must be acknow ledged that the selections are somewhat surprising, writes the "North China Daily News."

The fours chosen to play against Hong Kong are a very unbalanced lot. With the excep- tion of Sequeira, who is good, there is not a lead or No. 2 amongst them, they are all skips. The fallacy of playing four skips: in a rink was amply proved this season in the Mercury Cup com petition, and further, it has been shown that good leads and No. 2 men have been mainly responsi ble for winning most matches this season-

Better Choice

Posing before the start of the game in New York between all-star baseball teams represent- ing both leagues are (1. lo r.) Al Simmons, White Sox: Lou Gehrig and Babe Rulk. Yankees, and Jimmy Foxx, Athletics; all sluggers over the coveted 300 mark.
