Light, but steady, rain which fell on Saturday afternoon" caused the postponement of four League "matches, one in the First Division and three in the Third. These matches, I under- stand, will be played off this week-end.

RECREIO SUCCESS

Many of the Recreto bowlers be ing members of the HKVDC.. will not be available this week- end as they will have to report for @duty.

And, besides. the Portuguese were out to emulate the feat Kowloon performed by the Docks several years ago of winning all their matches,

They did that nỷ they had the better of the Civil Servants by eleven shots.

Recreio also won the Third Divi-

SIXTH DEFEAT

The Kowloon CC., who, at the beginning of the season were con- sidered a power to be reckoned with. but whose form has been disappointing of late, lost their sixth successive match when they! went down to Kowloon Bowling Green Club last Saturday, They lost on all rinks.

As the result of this defeat. the K.C.C. are now only fourth in the Table, with every chance of being fifth If the Indians. whose match against the Kow- loon Docks was postponed, win. this weekend.

FOUR MATCHES

THIS WEEK

There abould really be only one

cer

match this week-end-that be- tween the Recreio and the Prison Dulcers, in the Third Division, But the postponed matches. last Saturday will have to be decided, with the result that there will be four matches this week-end,

As the Prison Officers have an- other match outstanding (their match against the Kowloon Cricket Club being washed out by rain last week) they will not be able to call

a day until Oct. 14.

There will be only one match in the First Division. The Indian Re- creation Club will be at home to Kowloon Docks and should win.

In the Third Division, the Yacht Club should be able to account for the Hongkong Football Club. Both Cralgengower and Recreto, should, win against the Kowloon Bowling Green Club and the Prison Officers respectively.

He was prominent throughout the game and gave an excellent account of himself,
