CHAMPIONS STIFF TASK TO-DAY LEAGUE TENNIS

Chances of Annexing The

Championship

LAST WEEK'S GAMES

REVIEWED:

(BY

SHORT HEAD")

By their victory over the redoubtable Recreio last week, Craigengower C. C. "A" enhanced their chances of being the Senior League Champious for the third year in succession. Their feat was all the more creditable as this was the first occasion they have won against the Por- tuguese while playing away.

Their display last week was a good indication of their standard of play, and but for the fact that Dr. Atienza was right off his form, Luz's rink would undoubtedly had » been on the credit side also. As it was, only two" of the three rinks win, while F.X. M. da Silva's four was one" shot to the good against Lux's quartetie

In this match much will depend on A. M. Holland. Should he strike form, the Valley team will have to be up and about to offset the bril l'ant bowling that is sure to come.

The respective skips are all well matched. In U. M. Omar, R. F. da C.C.C. "A" Luz and R. Basa' the have three good men and, should the same support from their men are forthcoming to-day, they will have no fear as to the ultimate outcome of the issue.

Will the Indians be able to wake up from the slumber? To-day may be able to tell. Such standard of bowisas displayed by the Indians defy y imagination. Earlier in

the season I was amazed at their vastly improved displays week in and week out, and the positional changes which they made in the team seemed to have had the re- quired effect. Lately they have gone from bad to worse, and even their stalwart A. R. Dallah is not showing the same form of the earlier season. What is the rea- son underlying all this sudden change? Is It their inability to And the right combination to suit the tempermental players? Why not give the players a chance to have their say and let them play, for once, in their desired positions? Perhaps this may solve thelf pro-
