The principal match in Division 11. is between the Craigengower CC. and Kowloon C.C., and takes place at the Valley. Kowloon C.C. are leaders of their Division with only one match lost out of seven played. Their opponents have play- ed seven matches but have only two points, and the visitors ought to win, and bring their points scored up to a dozen.
The remaining match is etween the Bowling Green Club and the The Bowling Club de Recreio. Green Club is just below Kowloon C.C. with 10 points, and one match less played so they ought to beat the Recreio team, who have played even matches and got four points. THE OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP.
