All the bowls matches arranged to be played öft last Saturday were decided in spite of several interruptions by rain which at one time threatened to wash out all games. The Kowloon Cricket Club have finished their fixtures and have ended the bowls season runners-up to Recreio as a result of their victory over the Police R.C. (the Police R.C., Kowloon Three teams in the First Division Dock, and the Civil Service C.C.) are in danger of relegation. The Police, with one more match to play are one point ahead of the Kowloon Dock and the Civil Service C.C, but they are by no means out of the woods yet. Should they be beaten by Kowloon Dock, and should the Civil Servants again beat the Kowloon Dock in their re turn encounter, the Police will properly be in the soup.
