Their defence was Chinese were full value for their win. much better than the "Rest" and besides being able to cope with the many situations that threatened, they had time to feed their forwards with well judged passes. Tao Kwal Shing on the right was practically a picture of perfection, his centres and quick evasion of the defence marked him at his best.
"The rest of the forwards were well up to their mark with Chan Tak-fal catching the eye with two clever pieces of play which resulted in his' netting twice. This player though a comparative- " by new conter excelled himself in the forward line,
For the "Rest" Rowlands in goal did exceptionaly well, and it was due to him that the Chinese were unable to pentrate more than twice. He effected many a smart save and Mak Su! Hon was always in the picture with his quick and timely clearances.
The forwards of the "Rest" were not so impressive. Lacking the "sense of direction they were con- tinually at a loss as to what to do. Bickford was starved on the left and the little he was required to do he turned into good ac- count.

TAIKOO LOSE TO FOOTBALLERS: INDIANS BEATEN BY POLICE
Several surprises were registered in the Lawn Bowls League matches played on Saturday, the Kowloon Bowling Green Club, last year's runners-up in the Senior Division, receiving another setback when they were trounced by the Club de Recreio by 27 points, while Taikoo, new-comers to the Junior Division after several years in the Senior League, surprisingly went down to the Hong Kong Football Club by four
shots.
The Indian Recreation Club, who provided the main sensation of the season when they beat the Kowloon Bowling Green Club last week, were beaten by the Police, while Craigengower A," last season's champions, scored another triumph, this time at the expense of the Kowloon Cricket Club.
In the Second Division, the Hong Kong Electric tied with the Police, scoring 58 points, while the Kowloon Bowling Green Club avenged the defeat of their Seniors, by beating the Recreio by 17 shots.
