LEADING IN FIRST AND SECOND DIVISION OF LAWN BOWLS

LEAGUES

Several Surprises On

Saturday

The bowls fixtures on Saturday provided an indication of what might prove to be the ultimate standing of the vartotis teams in the first and second divisions of the Lawn Bowls league. The Craigengower C.C., by their victory over the Kowloon Bowl- ing Green Club are now favourites for the first division as they tie with the Bowling Green in points with a game in hand.

A surprise was provided by the Craigengower "B" team who accounted for the K.C.C

In the junior division the Indians won, as expected, from the H.K. Electric R.C, and the Police beat the Civil Service. The big surprise in this division was also provided by the Craigen- gower, who accounted for the Kowloon Bowling Green, this put- ting them out of the race for league honours,

The H.K. Football Club won their third match of the season when they beat the Club de Recreio on the latter's ground,

K.B.G.C. DEFEATED Kowloon Bowling Green's defeat by Craigengower was mainly due to the success of Omar's rink over W. Macfarline's. The difference was a shots and it was more than enough to cover the one point deficit in Bradbury's rink which was matched against R. Hall's and the 3 points conceded by "Basa to L. Guy. The struggie was a close one and final scores were 62-58 in favour of the Happy Valley team

K.C.C, GOES DOWN

The home team were in great form

and fully deserved their victory, Lewis in particular playing a very steady game, being time after time responsible, for the shot.

*THE DOCK “DERBY" Played on the Kowloon Dock rinks, the Derby between the two docks provided a harrow win for the home team. The final score was 63-59: For Talkoo Wallace's rink was successful against W. Creig winning by 21-18, but Mc Keown (Taikoo) went down to J. C. Brown by 17-25 and Chalmers (Talkoo), also had hard luck when his team went down to J. W. Mc- Kelvie's by a single shot (21-2), On the run of the play there was little between the strength of the teams,

POLICE SWAMPED Following a series of victories, the Police RC. found their luck 'out' on Saturday when they were at home to the Civil Service.

LONDON NOTES

By The Air Mail

(From Our Own Correspondent)

# London, Aug. 11. I spent my first London Bank holiday, with the folliest people on earth.

I arrived only recently in Lon- don from Australia, and this holl- day bustle in early August puzzled me at first,

I pondered where to go. The holiday crowds were flocking out of London by rail, road, air and water. When such a jolly com- pany was abroad it was a pity to stay behind. But where to go?

Why, Hampstead Heath, of course. So Hampstead Heath it

23......

These in its pleasant glades and on its furze-covered slopes rub bed shoulders with the happiest throng in England. The babel of sounds might have been called raucous by the over-discriminating. but when the hurdy-gurdles rasp-· ed out "The Lilly of Laguna," when the costers in fullthroated chorus shouted their wares, and the hoopla and the coconut stall- keepers vied with the gypsy 'for- tune-tellers in soliciting for the silver or coppers of the crowd I was exhilarated.

I tilted my cap at the saucy young ladres with the provocative paper hats, bearing such legends as I'm No Angel" and the like; I sampled the cockles and whelks I did my best on the Crazy Walk, the Craze of New York,

I enjoyed myself hugely. It was a glorious. open-air holiday.

London-New York Overnight

Hollidge's rink beat Moss' by 19 to 14.

The only Police rink to win was that skipped by A. R. Clarke which came away, victorious by 29 points to 20 against a team shipped by A. O. Brawn.

DIVISION II.

INDIANS STILL LEADING The Indian R.C. continue to hold the leading position in the junior league. On Saturday they won on all three rinks against the Electric R.C., A. R. Minu's four contributing the biggest share to- wards victory when they beat L de Rome's four by 28-17.

K. M. Omar accounted for N. M. Currie by 16-15 and A. R. Wallah's team beat A. F. Paul's by 19-17.

K.B.G.C. FALTERS

The prophecy may be fulfilled even sooner. Two or three years ago the average time for the 3000- ille air fight, from New York to Los Angeles 38 hours.

The other day the first trans- continental sleeper airplane of the new Lindbergh line did it in six- teen hours. The liner carried fourteen passengers, anct is one of a fleet of 41 which are to be put into regular service immediately.

The New York-London route is approvimately the same length. To cut sixteen hours' flying down to twelve should not take more than Ave years.

A Fund For Nijinsky

I heard last night at Covent Garden (open in August for the first time in living memory) that Nijinsky is in a bad way finan cially.

Apparently he is in debt to the mental home where he has been a patient for some years to the extent over over £2000.

This is no fault of his relations. Further credit is refused, and it either go into a public asylum or the money is not paid he will

be sent to Russia.
