(By Jack Hy')

If ever the Civil Service C.C. have a chance of securing their first two points it will be this Saturday when they will be at home to the Kowloon Docks.-The Latter have played altogether six matches of which they have won ene, drawn one and lost all the Feat.

In the First Division, the Kowloon Bowling Green Club' scored 80 against the Civil Service C.C. Curiously enough, all these big scores were recorded by Clubs which played away matches, with the exception of
