ITH the Lawn Bowls season nearly past tho halfway mark is interesting to note the improvement made by some of the players who are seen regularly in the League.

M. Alarcon and A. M. Rodrigues of Recreio, who are playing in Third Division, are considered by many of their club-mates, to have shown most

progress 30 far and successful futures are predicted for these two players.

Police have produced three players who are doing well so far. They are Harris, J. Hunter and Hayward. All have only started bowls this

season but have done well in club practice games and have already earned posi- tions in the junior team.

Of the Police Junior team, McWalter and N. B. Fraser are at present play- ing much better than ever before.

The Police expect much of J. Aitken, but he is no novice, having reached the Final of the rinks competition in the North of Scotland Championship and been runner-up in the singles compe-

tition.

"We have few beginners" said Hong Kong Football Club member, "but C. B. Robertson and F. Anslow are playing well at present."

I quite agree with him about C. B. Robertson, who has been playing in Brooksbank's rink and has reached peak form this season.

First club to hold its football meet ing in preparation for the coming football season is the Police Sports Board. Pelice had a successful season last year when they won the "David" Cup, as runners-up of the Senior Shield Competition.

The inclusion of the Chinese contin- gent in the team strengthened the side considerably and several secured re- cognition in representative games last year, Chan Kwong-yue playing for Hong Kong against Macao in the Inter- port game.

JIMBLEDON appears to have been fairly well favoured in the mat- ter of playing conditions this year. From results to hand there have been no postponement on account of the weather.

There have been the usual upsets and reversals of form but there is one matter which thus early in the tourna- ment appears to have been brought out in no uncertain manner.

That is the ruling of the Wimbledon authorities regarding the application of an age limit.

་

I have heard this ruling ridiculed by leading authorities on the game. A case which comes to mind being the inability of the young Hungarian schoolgirl-I can't recall her name at the moment-to compete at the world's most glamorous tennis tournament be cause. she was not yet 16.

This rule is a hard and fast one and not be available this season as he is on this occasion took no cognisance of

The wisdom of the officials of the All-England Tennis Club. seems to have been borne out in the case of Gem and Jean Nicholl, the 18-year-old "seeded" player,

Miss Hoahing, who in an ordinary tournament would probably have given Mrs. Sperling a very good fight if not beaten her, was never in the pic- ture to go down crushingly by 2-6, 0-6.

Miss Nicholl, also an imperturbable player normally, went down badly to a comparative unknown. Reuter. de- scribes her play as being execeedingly nervous and it is apparent that the fact that she was playing at Wimble- don proved too much for her.

How are these two girls going to react to these defeats? Disappoint- ment in themselves is bound to be very great and at their present. impression- able ages the blow to their confidence might conceivably be of such severity as to affect their future careers. Time will tell!
