Another interesting match will be the one at Sookumpoo between the Indian R.C.

and Chigengower. These two teams have not met yet this season, but ir memory serves the Indians won on bòth occasions last year. I shan't be at all surprised If they win again, though I really hesitate to commit myself one way or the other.

The heavy downpour which fell at about & p.m. on Saturday afternoon caused the postponement of no less than three matches in the Lawn Bowls League- one in the First Division and two in the Third. Of the matches concluded, the one between Taikoo R.C. and the Kowloon Football Clüb provided the biggest upset. The former, who had been expected to win hands down, lost, as the result of which the Hongkong Foot- ball Club now seem to be well on their way to win- ning the Second Division title. The two leaders in the First Division, Recreio "A", and Kowloon Cricket Club both won on Saturday, but the champions, with one match in hand, are two points ahead of the latter.

Joe Luz, Alves' lead, was a trife "off colour" in the beginning 'of the game and was well beaten by Jeff Hodsen, but in the concluding stages he was in such devastating form that he was dead on the Jack most of the time.

However, whatever the outcome of the match. I don't think there will be many shots in it.

The closeness of the scores may give one the impression that the game was a tight one all the way through, though actually this was not the case as the winners, ex- capting on, the Arst few heads, had the lead all the time.

Third Division player, beat the redoubtable "Spuggy" In a close heads to match which took 30 finish by 21-18.

There very nearly was a sensa- tion at the Civil Service on Mon- day last in a match in the Singles. Competition between W. Mair of the Police R.C. and Y. A. Razack of the Indian R.C. The latter, who is practically a novice at the game, played so well in the be- ginning that he was actually leading by 13-3 on the tenth bead. However, mainly through it- experience, Razack, who had been doing extremely well on the short heads, decided to play a long to medium one as a result of which he lost 16 shots in five heads (four threes and a four in succession) to trail 13-19 behind Mair. Razack eventually lost by 17-21.
