SATURDAY'S GAMES IN

NEW RIVALS IN BOTH DIVISIONS.
[By "GREEN."}
On Saturday morning the possi. bilities of play in the Lawn, Bowls. Longue appeared to be out of the. question, but a welcome change Look place in the weather during the rest of the day and all the games were completed in line but dull weather. As was to ba expect. ed, the grounds in post every enbe were a trifle heavy, but play- ors had to be thankful for the games when everything painted to. an idle day. I expected Kowloon Bowling Green and Taikoo juniora to take the points, but their op ponents prevented this in close games, which held an element of doubt until the last head. Taikoo lost the points at King's Park by
single shot, while the Bowling Green Club, who had up to this stage dropped only one point in a draw with the Yacht Club, Jest to Craigongower by six shots,
"
Thres of the enior pames were decided by a margin of ten shots in each case including the import- ant fixture in which the unbeaten' Kowlcon C.C. team made further progress on the Kowloon Dock green. Silkstone's rink, which fus still to be beaten, accured an other draw when they were oppos- Fraser's ed to Lapsley's team.

One prominent sporting paper, doubting the ability of in Cameronian to win the Leger, asks, "Is Cameronín a champion!? and it appears to me that at any thing up to a mile and a half, he has proved himself to be the beat oa three-year-old today. The ques
tion is," can he stay the extra dia- tance, of the race at Doncaster ? " It is evident that despite smooth run without interference in the Derby, he was pressed quite considerably at the finish; which was not the ease in the Guineas, and previous to the Derby there xisted some doubt as to his ability 2-0 to stay 1 miles, à doubt I think based mainly upon his breeding. Personally I do feel that the Leger may prove just a little to far for him, and shall look elsewhere for 4-0 the winner.

FIFTEENTH HOMER...
A BIG HITTING DAY FOR
WATKINS,
New York, June 24.-Babe Ruth cracked out his 18th home run of the season to help the New York Yankees to defeat the White Sox by a score of 10 to 3 in Chicago to-day. In St. Louis, the Browns nosed out the Philadelphia Athle American fics, leaders in the League, by a score of 0 to 5, and In Detroit the Tigers got revongo when they defeated the Washington Senators by a score of 7 to 3. With little troubic, the Boston Red Sox playing in Cleveland, vanquished the Indians by a score of 7 to 3.
Hoping to catch up with their schedule, which has been so badly disarranged by rainy weather, the National League teams indulged in an orgy of double-headers. In Brooklyn, the Dodgers won both games of a twin bill from the Pitta burg Pirates by scores of 0 to 4 and 5 to 3: At the Polo Grounds in New York, the Giants and the Chicago Cubs divided the honours; in the opener the Giants blanked the Cubs by a score of 2 to 0, but in the sconnd the Bruins got revenge when in a hit spree they defeated
the Giants by 14 to 10.
There was
Another double-header at Boston, where the Braves and the Cincin hati Reds broke even. The Reds won the opener by 8 to 5, but the Braves captured the second by 11 to 6. Playing in Philadelphia, the

Mr. Justice Rowlatt, in giving judgment, said he thought there were matoriale in the case which amply justified the Commissioners in having held that there was a separate business in the use of the

What Might Happen. Lord Glanely had stallions; he also had mares. The stallions pro- duced fees and the mares produced foals which could be sold. Why one Races Amount was a separate trade and the other was not rather puzzled his lordship. Even so, he could not confuse the two things, and was bound, as u matter of law, to say that the cost of having mares served outside could not be set against the foes 0,067 received.
