"BACK WOOD.”].

The whole of Saturday's lawa bowls league matches bad to be postponed again owing to the bad weather. This was the third time such a thing happened and the fix! tures on this occasion were supposed to be the elcsing ones of the season The joint-leaders in the senior division (Craigengower and Civil Service) are at present on the same footing och side having lost ouce" aad four matches still to go. Next Saturday they will be making their third attempt to carry out their first meeting. This will be on the ground of the champions and a fire. works display may be expected.

Junior honours seem to be safely in the hands of either Bowling Green or Civil Service since the Yacht Club were defeated by the former and lost an outside chance they had in striking for the top position. Bowling Green have - advantage of two points which they gained at the expense of their rivals in their inst match at Kowloon. On Saturday the return match takes place on the Civil Service ground. Two of the most import ant matches in which championship prospects are involved are there fore being played on neighbouring grounds the same day, subject of course to the weather permitting it.

The composition of the team to represent the Colony in the Inter- port matches in Shanghai a month hance has already been announced. They

are Messrs. C. Atkinson (Captain), F. O. Goodman, R. F. Luz, G. McLeod, W. H. B. Muskett and O. G. Silva. It would be un- fair to criticise the selections since it is understood that they are the best that could be picked out from the names sent in Luz will be a tower of strength in the team for, despite his youth, he has proved to be the best player in the Colony. Atkinson has and Interport experi- ence and will no doubt adopt the necessary tactics in an endeavour to beat Shanghai on their own ground. The task is by no means an easy one as they have a strong

crew up there which they can move

about in the three matches.

A point which seems to have been overlooked, and which cannot be allowed to pass without comment, is the unnecessary hurry in selecting the team. According to the Asso ciation notice the names of those prepared to go if selected were to be sent in by July 20. I expect this
