CLASH OF THE LEADERS

TO-MORROW.

BOTH GAMES AT THE VALLEY.

[BY BACK WOOD."]

A start will be made this week with the arrears in the lawn bowls league, the fixtures for to-morrow being those of June 7: Apparently there is a mistake in the arrange- meat for the subsequent weeks matches because it is seen from a notice posted up at a "Club, giv. ing the dates re-arranged by the Hon. Secretary" of the Association, that the matches to be played on August 23 are those postponed on July 28. On this date only two matches (Civil Service Craigen gower seniors and Kowloon C.C. . Taikoo juniors) were postpon ed, and if these are the only ones to be played then six pairs of team,

WATER POLO.

V.R.C. WIN JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP.

Only one water polo match was played yesterday, as the Kowloon Swimming Club failed to put up A team against the V.R.C. in the Junior division and the "Recs" were given a walk-over, after they formally swan the length. This gave the Victoria Recreation Club the championship for the "B" division, for although they have gama to play still one (against Fukien Club on Monday night), the result will not lower their position.

The senior match was between

Kowloon and the Somersets and here again the Peninsula men "found great difficulty in getting together a side. The team that played for them included some of their junior members but in spite of that, they won by the cdr goal in three.

In spite of the good weather during the past few days, there werо no league tenais matches played, And the one between Club de Recreio nad

the University originally scheduled to take place one Wedars day, was for some reason or other, put off till to-day. There will be quite an important fixture this afternoon and a good crowd should be present to watch it. I refer to the .C.C.-L.R.C. tie in the "A" division which was postponed from last Friday on account of the rain. Enough has been said of the merits of the teams in this columa and I shall not repent myself.

WEDDING BELLS.

WELL-KNOWN CHINESE". COUPLE MARRIED.

A very pretty wedding took place at the Union Church, Kengedy Road, on Wednesday, when Miss Phyllis Viola Ho, youngest daughter of the late Mr. Ho Fook and Mrs. Ho Feok, was married to Dr. Edward Law, son of the late Mr. Alfred Law and Mrs. Law. Rev. Frank Short officiated at the

Ceremony.

The

The bride, who was given away by Mr. Ho lu, her brother, was prettily attired in a gown of silk tulle and faille of the period of 1830, and carried a houquet of white lilies and asparagus fern. The bridesmaids were Misses Kath leen and Margaret Grose, who also wore dresses of the same period. The duties of best man were dis- charged by Mr. J. D. Lytton.

A reception was later held at the Hong Kong Hotel Roof Garden, after which the couple departed for Repulse Bay for their honey- moon,

NEW U.S. AIR RECORD.

"TEXACO 13' SETS NEW TIME.

A cable has been received by the local offices of the Toxas Oil Com pany to the effect that Captain Frank Hawks, piloting the Travel Air Mystery Ship, Texaco 13," broke the existing East-West trans- continental aeroplane speed record of 18 hours 40 minutes by 3 hours 50 minutes.

The time for 2,500 miles from New York to Los Angeles was 14 hours 60 minutes. Five 15 minute stops were made.

Hawks will stay for an undeter- mined time in Los Angeles after which he will try and break the West-East record of 14 hours 21 minutes.

Texaco 13" is a low winged monoplane, 20 feet long, powered by a 300 b.pl Wright J.B special racing engine. The wing span is 30 feet and it has a bullet-like streamline fuselage.

"Texaco" products were used throughout the trip.

TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS.

As a result of traffic accidenta on Wednesday, three Chinese had to be removed to hospitals, where ons of them succumbed to his injuries, and one other is believed to be in a serious condition.

The deceased person, who bas not been identified yet, appeared to be a student about 20 years of age.. He received terrible injuries to his head when he jumped off a moving tram-car opposite the Bay View Police Station. He was removed to Government Civil Hospital where he died at 9 a.m. on Thursday..

A coolie, who was sitting on the edge at the back of a lorry, fell off as it was turning into Mongkok Rond from Reclamation Street. He struck the ground with auch force that ribs on both sides of his body were fractured.

The third case was practically of the same nature. A boatman was given a lift on the back of a lorry. Near the west gate of the Taikoo Dockyard, the lorry came into

collision with & tram-car. The bostma was thrown out and re- ceived auch injuries that he had" to be sent to hospital,

rangement would tend to prolong the league programme rather than finish it as quickly as possible, since the postponed series of last week could be moved up to August 33 from August 30' to provide a full programme for that day. "Apart from the two matches, men tioned above, the only other out- standing fixtures are Club de Re- creio Bowling Green seniors and Taikoo juniors v. Yacht Club, three of which could be played on: August 30 unless this date is need. ed for further wholesale postpone. ments which may arise in the mean- time.

Railton played a hard game for Kowloon and Angus was safe in goal. Early in the first half, loon while Stirling added the ge cond one just before half-time.

The second half started with the Kowloon men pressing hard, but Early broke through and put in a goal for the Somersets, and the nal whistle went with the soldiers trying hard to equalise.

Despite the Babe's lusty effort Washington took both games with cut great difficulty by scores of 9-3 and 3, respectively, the Yanks making but eight hits, with two errors, in the first contest, and nine hits, with one error, in the second. This raised the Senators' average number of points gained for five to 604, but, unfortunately for matches played while the U.S.R.C.

They hare, however, quite a lot of material to draw upon and I feel sure they will give the Indian Roca" a jolly good run for their money when they co meet.

By winning both games over the tail-enders, Boston Red Sox, at Philadelphia, 9-2 and 8-7, the Athletics boosted themselves to percentage of 672. This gave all the American League teams a tough break.

The principal match in the senior! division to-morrrow is at Craigen", gower where Civil Service are the visitors. Bad weather prevented these teams meeting on two previ ou occasions and it is to be hoped that they will succeed this time. They are on equal terms, each side having lost one match, and which- ever side wing "now will hold an advantage over the other by two points. It is difficult to forecast the result so there is very little to choose between the teams, but i think that Craigengower will sue- ceed in getting through.
