In the course of the same even ing he had four good scores succession, 179, 203, 235, and 198, a total of 815 pins or an average of 204 pins per game, so there is nothing wrong with this player's bowling.

36th. Royal Artillery are only a Third Division team though they did apply to play in Second Divi- sion at the beginning of the sea- son. They did not allow Suppers to play their usual game and this was a contributing factor to their win. Added to this Sappers miss- ed the services of Palmer at back as neither Chung Ying-kuen nor Tsang Yung-pak had the physical attributes necessary against the Gunners.

30th Royal Artillery, holders of the Junior Shield, lived to fight another day against Signals, an- other Third Division team, when they shared four goals on Satur day. Gunners have much to thank Guy, in the pivotal position, for. In the closing stages of extra time Gunners came near scoring but ware prevented by the sterling work of the Signals defence.

Another Third Division team to cnuse a surprise was International, who accounted for Kwong Wah juniors by 4 goals to 1. Elms, former St. Joseph's player, turn- ed out for International,
