Except in the Third Division in which several up- sets were recorded, the results of the other matches played last Saturday in the Lawn Bowls League were more or less expected. The Civil Service C.E. In the First Division have scored their first two points of the season by beating Kowloon Docks at home, but the Cralgengower C.C, second string who had been expect- ed to beat the Kowloon Football Club lost, as a result of which both Talkoo R.C. and Hongkong Football Club now lead in the Second Division:

Craigengower played one man short-C. 8. Rosselet could not turn up and E. Zimmern stepped into his shoes. Consequently, Zimmern had to concede 25 per cent. of his score to T. Ferguson. How far exactly. Rosselet's absence affected the rest of his team-mates is impossible to gauge, but judging by the scores, it is safe to assume that Craigengower would still have lost had Rosselet been able to play, as both W. K. Way and H. W. Randall, their other two skips, were down. Though the Champions, Club to win by three, the other Recreio "A," won against the Football Club rink (A.
