The Craigengower C. C. beat the University of six sets to three.

The match between the Kowloon Indians Tennis Club and the Kowloon Cricket Club was cancelled owing to the Last minate withdrawal from the Leagus of the former, while the match between the Kowloon Docks and South China was post- poned.

(Continued from page 11) away to the Adjutant and there- by entirely clearing himself of any possible suspicion or doubt that might remain in anyone's mind, About the Santa Singh here again we have to remember the Nika Singh letter that was in the air. It had gone back to India and although the Kowloon envelope did not bear the Brigade stamp, the contents did, "and that bird might come home to roost again, as it did."

In the absence of any other motives being suggested to me I can only conclude that the second Santa" Slagh letter was sent off complete with its contents in an attempt to establish a "bona fide" of the old procedure, but what happens when these letters return. The Banta Singh letter with the innocent contents is claimed st once; the Nika Singh letter with its damning covers and highly suspicious contents is left in the GP.O.

Craigengower In "Derby"

By "GREEN"

Last Saturday, the teams in the

third week's programme, which provid=" cd some keen play and just a few upsets. As far as the senior teams are concerned, the Kowloon Bow- ng Green and Craigengower "A" left nothing to chance. The for- ruer had an easy passage, as ex¬ perted, at King's Park, while the latter was in all-round good form when they travelled to Kowloon G.C. Craigengower "B" fared rat- her badly on the Civil Service ground. In the junior division. the most noteworthy performance was that of the Police, who brought off a last minute surprise to win against the Electricians.

rink simply

The senior division meeting be- tween the Bowling Green Club and the King's Park team was keenly cuntested "except for the rink led by Ribeiro which was never com- fortable after opening with a sin- sle. Macfarlane's routed the opposition, all the lead- ing players giving the skip all the support he expected, while the latter himself send down some ac- curate shots to confine the Recreio scoring to only five heads." The victory of Macfarlane's rink by 30 shots to 7 was a welcome addition to the aggregate. By a coinct- cience, the majority of shots on this rink was exactly the margin of victory, as the Clubs beat each other on the remaining two rinks by Ave shots each.

ARSENAL THE CHAMPIONS

Famous Clubs Relegated

(Special Air Mail Service)

London, May 1. Apart from the Final Tie for the Association Cup, there were im- portant decisions in the various competitions of the Football Lea- gue. Another great match in Lon- don between Chelsea and Arsenal attracted 85,000 spectators

and 'ended in a drawn game of two goals each. This ideal result, for both clubs, was an honest refec- tion of a hard game. Arsenal led at the interval owing to a goal by James, who hit the "crsosbar, and recovered the rebound, which he placed in the net. Whe the second

half began Arsenal were teen, to make certain of victory, but Oak- ton cross-kicked and Horton head- ed an equalising goal. These tac- tics were imitated by Arsenal for Bowden, out on the right, sent over a ball that Bastin utilised, and agained gave his club the lead. But in a lively game Mills thwart- ed his opponents and defeated Moss with a capital shot.

In this way Arsenal earned a point and won' the League cham-

last match is at Lincoln City, Vic- tory there will probably give them promotion on goal average, even if Preston win their last

game at Southampton.

Brentford's only charice les in the defeat of both Bolton and Pre- ston, coupled with a win at Bury. Bolton's chances seem rosy.

The Second Division relegation problem will be settled when Mill- wall and Manchester United meet- at New Crass next Saturday. The losers' will be relegated. A draw would save Millwall, but not the" United.

·

The Northern Section promotion problem is still open. Chesterfield and Barnsley are level on top each. with sixty points from forty-one games.

BEST CHANCE Barnsley seem to have the best. chance of going up, for, while they Visit New Brighton next Saturday, Chesterfield are due away to play Stockport Country, third on the table.

It is questionable it more goals have ever been scored in a day than there were yesterday. Coven-" try City led the way with nine.... goals. and Birmingham, Grimsby and Oldham each got seven. Scores of five and four were common.
