Recreio "A" v. Recreio "B" men's doubles bad- minton teague match last night that there was very little to choose between the relative streng. th of the sides.

Yet the match revealed an almost unbelievable, contrast. The Senior Six won hands down, claiming night of the nine games and scoring 181

And the redit was further” am- phasised by the fact that It, A. Alves was absent from the winning team, although this was somewhat mitigated by the fact that neither P. M. Bilva nor Barros were on duty for the Tosers.

LADIES' TOURNEY IN PROGRESS

BIG ENTHUSIASM

(By "Veritas”). . -

The Club de Recreio, who boast more lady badminton players than the rest of the clubs in the Colony put to- gether have started a ladies league of their own, with no less than 30 players taking part. Already, three matches have been played, and judged by the keeness and excitement dis- played, the object of the com- petition, which is to assist the players towards rapid improve- ment, will be entirely fulfilled. The winning of the league depends on the wreatost aggr won, irrespective of whether the matchen themselves have been won or lost. This stimulates the players to contest overy acé.

There are five teams of six players each involved, and they are captained, by mombers who figure. In the Ro- crolo mixed doubles and ladies lengua terms. At the present time A team lends with 103 aces from two matches, followed by E têam with 61, C team with 59, D team with 68, and D team with 68, all secured from one match.
