IT LOOKS AN EASY TASK TO FORECAST THE WINNERS OF THIS WEEK'S LAWN BOWLS LEAGUE MATCHES, ESPECIALLY AS REGARDS FIRST DIVISION, IN WHICH ONLY THE GAME BETWEEN KOWLOON BOWLING GREEN CLÜB. “B” AND POLICE, AT AUSTIN ROAD, GIVÉS ME FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

The home- sters have made some changes, McKelvie taking over the rink skipped by Gill last week with the last-named as three to him. The home team badly needs points and will be all out to get them. and they should do so.
Their "A" team should also win at the expense of Club de Recreto "B", whose premier outfit is bound
to win at Kowloon Dock.

Kowloon Bowling Green Club go over to play Hong Kong Football Club and should, on form, win, but the best game will be on the Police ground, where I have an idea Kowloon Football Club will put up a good but mavalling

LAST YEAR: SING TAO HAD ONE OF THE BEST FOOTBALL TEAMS IN FIRST, DIVISION BUT, AFTER A GOOD START, MET WITH A STREAK OF BAD LUCK WHICH ́RESULTED IN THEM FINISHING ONLY THIRD IN FIRST DIVISION AND BEING ELIMINATED IN THE EARLY ROUNDS OF THE SENIOR: SHIELD COMPETITION.
Their misfortunes started when L e e Ting- sang broke his wrist in a representative game in February and soon after they were unexpect- edly held to a draw by Kowloon on the Club ground.
Sing Tao will start this season with all of last year's all of whom are reported to be in.
