(By" "Skip")

TO-MORROW the semi-finals of the Open Rinks competition will be decided, weather permitting. The rinks involved are C-G. Silva, F. X. Silva, C. E. Marques and J. E. Noronha, who are opposed to a rink of fellow members of the Portuguese Club, H. A. Alves, F. V. Ribeiro, L. F. Xavier and L. J. Silva.

The other semi-final is composed of A. Hyde-Lay. E C Fincher, R. G. Craig and J. W. M. Brown, of the Kowloon C-C who are drawn against A. M. Holland. J. C. Brown. R. Duncan and the veteran lead, P. T. Farrell all of the Kowloon B.G.C At first sight the average critic would plump solidly for the chances of the formidable combination skipped by C G Silva. A week or two ago the Kowloon Bowling Green Club rink, skipped by A. M. Holland-with J. C. Brown and P. T Farrell assisting him-would also have been considered to have had a fair chance, but since then the lead and the No. 2 of this rink have gone back on form a little, which has given their sup- porters cause for anxiety.

caused a minor sensation in the "A" Division of the Lawn Tennis League yesterday when they un- expectedly defeated the Kowloon Cricket Club in their away match by 6 seis to 3.

The turf was very slippery and the conditions were by no means

ideal, but the Indians adapted

themselves much quicker to the state of the court and hung on tenaciously.

it must be admitted there is every reason for its existence.

and should Hyde-Lay decide to place R. G. Craig in the "No. 3" position. it may materialise.

Probable Finalists The general opinion is that the

rinks skipped by Silva and Hol- land will appear in the final, with the Kowloon C.C.quartette threatening a surprise.
