THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE SECOND DIVISIÓN.

FOR HOME, FACTORY, & FOWER HOUSE

AT TAIKOO,

A meeting of the Hongkong Lawa Bowls Association was held in the Hong- kong General Chamber of Commerce room yesterday evening, when Mr. B., W. iradbury presided. The meeting was called to decide upon a venue for the

same between the East Point Recreation. Club and the Kowloon Cricket Club for the championship of the Second Division. Each Club has es points, but the respec- tive clubs failed to agree as to the choice of ground for the game..

رم

Seldog have I some, across a moro striking instance of what I might, call DECIDING GAME TO BE PLAYED the historical continuity of Cricket than that which I found on turning up the files of the Daily Press for the later months of 1876. While perusing a great portion of the cricket accounts, опо would read on and gradualis forget that the games in question were played fifty years ago. Then one's eye would pass to the next column and discover that the latest news was that Mr. Disraeli had received a peerage, or that Gauuod had been present when last month Wagner conducted the first complete performance of The Ring." Truc, there were occasional archaisms. Mr. Sc and So was put out or caught out. And what is more he was Mister every time unless he held official rank. On the whole though it was much as it is to-day, and familiar names crop up. Mr. Wodehouse was a useful bat. He was at that time a Cadet officer of ten years standing. He retired in 1808 as Polico Magistrate, was given the C.M.G., is the father of F. G. Wodehouse, the novelist, and of Mr. P. P. J. Wodehouse, C.I.E, the Senior D.S.P. here, and is still hale and hearty. Another, familiar name was that of a Mr. Lindsell, a subaltern in the 25th Regiment (now the 1st Gloucesters), who was an uncle of the present First Magistrate. From his scores I fancy the Magistrate bas it easily on his uncle in

cricket ability.

The Chairman said that the result of the match meant promotion for one "of the two tents,

Rules Ten Years Old...

Mr. Hamilton (East Point R.C.) asked if there was anything in the league fixture rules in regard to playing decid

ing games.

MC T Tacchi, the Secretary, said that, the rules only enacted that the League committee should decided the day on which, the match should be played.

It was also stated that the existing tules were formulated in 1910,, and had not been altered since.

The Differences..

Mr. McTavish (East Point RC.) sald

that he had conversed with Mr. Golden- burg of the Kowloon Cricket Club con- Mr. Goldenburg cerning the replay.

The season opened with a match on October 7th, the First XI.. Next XXII.uggested the Kowloon Dock green, Mr. This was apparently a regular fixture McTavish had pointed out that it was too and in this year the XI. got a bad beat- far, and the players of the East Point ng. After that it appears to have been could only with difficulty get there if that vesne was chosen. The speaker suggest- the custom for members who wished to play to turn up at the ground on Satur-) days for a pick-up game unless the Club played one or other of the Services or both together. In those days the ground was only separated from the sea by a road with a line of young trees planted along it and the light must have been a good deal better than it is now with the Club and the Supreme Court shutting it in. But for all that the scores were uncommonly small. A hundred was at the beginning of the season a match. winning score though they did a little better in February

I find traces of nine Club matches only but it is quite evident that the newe papers depended entirely on the whim of the Secretary or on a solitary report- er. Every time there was anything else of interest on a Saturday,—a regatta or a Race Meeting, cricket does not get re- ported although previous notices show that match took place.

There was no Christmas or New Year's match in those, days, but frequently matches were played on Friday and Saturday afternoon... In those easy times it was not hard to get an extra half. holiday. And they must have taken it casily as it took two full afternoons for the Army and Navy to compile 89 and 70 against the Club's 98 and 34, although we are told that the Club's felding is improving.

the Police Club green, but Mr. Golden- burg had replied "we will not play on that green." Mr. Goldenburg then sug gested the Kowloon Bowling Club green, but Mr. McTavish objected as some of the K.C.C. players were members of the Bowling Club. Mr. Goldenburg's chief objection to the Police green was because it had no ditch." No agreement was reached.

י

Mr. Overy (Kowloon Cricket Club) said that it was absurd for the East Point R.C. players to object to Kowloop Dock by saying that it was too far away. They had chosen it because it was one of the most "get-at-able" greens in the Colony. It was also neutral ground. The East Paint players could get there quick ly by launch.

Mr. Hamilton said that he must dis-, The East illusion Mr. Overy at once. Point Club had no launch.

The Decision.

Mr. A. O. Brawn'said that the ground should be neutral. It should also have

ditch. There were only two such greens. in the Colony, the Civil Service and Taikoo. The Civil Service green was in a bad condition. He, therefore, pro- posed that the game should be played at Taikoo.

Mr. Smith. seconded.

Mr. Overy said that it was as far for the K.C.C. players as for the East Point players to go to Kowloon Dock.

The proposition was carried. It was further decided to play the game on the first available Saturday.
