LOCAL TEAM SELECTED.

At a meeting of the Interpart Selection Committee of the 'Hong Kong Lawn Bowls Association held

on Thursday, the following players were chosen to represent the Colony in the matches at Shangbai early

next month-

C. Atkinson (Kowloon Dock). F. C. Goodman (Kowloon Dock); 1. F. Luz (Club de Recreio). G. McLeod (Taikoo).

W. B. Muskett (Electric R.C.).' C. G. Silva (Club de Recreio).

Mr. Atkinson has been appointed Captain with full power to select the team in every match. Accord ing to the new arrangement, the Interport will be decided this year gh the best of, three matches.

Showing better combination and a better balanced team, the Chi- nese Athletic Association's team defeated the Chinese Bathing Club by three goals to cne in their first division match in the Water Polo

League played last evening. The Chinese Athletic "forwards showed to better advantage right at the beginning and were attacking most- of the first half of the game. An opportunity was offered them when the right winger, receiving a pass from one of the inside, forwards, threw in one which completely bent the goalie. Chinese Bathing Club's goalie Brought off a number of good saves, and but for his work the score against them would have been

As an Interpart team, the selec-more. tions are quite disappointing since many of the Colony's good bowlers are not included in the list, but it may be that they are the best that could be picked from the names sent in as willing to undertake the trip.

Position of Skip.

It is antisfactory to see that R. F. Luz has been included in the team, as he may be depended on to shoulder the responsibilities of skip in an Interport "contest.

Apart from this player, it is hard to see who else could be chosen "as akip. Goodman has been doing some work in this direction, but his proper place is number one preferably if not in one of the other positions.. The same may be said of Atkinsou, who has all along remained in the number one position. McLeod's place is the same. Silva is a good number three the plays in that position on Luz's rink), and he could he ised with advantage either as pumber one or two. Muskett has been a skip for the Electric team, And he has played with marked other positions for in Craigengower, but whether he is capable of leading an Interport

success

team is another matter.

In one of the earlier official matches played here, during the visit of the Shanghai team. lust year, Silva played as No. I to Luiz, when the latter won the match for Club de Recreio in the last head with a single shot, The Shanghai players, which included Glover, Phillips, Jessiman and Derrance (Skip), were full of praise for the capabilities of the Recreio player and no doubt they would like to see him again on their soil.

Shanghai Possibles, Shanghai will no doubt have very formidable team this year, as such players as Messrs. Aitkenhead, Malcolm, Phillips, Brierley, Dor rance, Glover, Kerley, Harvey, Richards and Main (to mention only some of those who have played in Interport matches against Hong Kong) are still going strong and were included in the teams com peting in the Mercury Cup Com- petition a few weeks back. We may except to see some of them in the Interport series.

Although the local team is by no menas a strong one, the best that one can hope is that they will come back with the Prentice Cup and the Shanghai dag. A good combination which strikes the writer as likely to accomplish this result is Atkinson (No. 1), Silva (No. 2), Goodman (No. 3) and Luz (Skip)" with MoLeod and Muskett being tried in the position of Nos. 1 and 3, respec tively, in the subsequent matches.

In such circumstances, the player, or his opponent, may have the ball nearer to the hole Lifted to enable him to take his stroke without. hindraner. On completion, of the shot the lifted ball must be replaced as near as possible to its original position.

Another point to be noted is that when a ball lodges in anything moving it must be dropped as near as possible to the place where it lodged in the moving object, and ne penalty is incurred.
