KOWLOON TONG & CHINESE WIN

"B" Division Badminton Encounters

(By "Abo")

With victories over the Club de Recreio and the Froe Lances respectively in the "B" Division of the Badminton League last even- ing, the Kowloon Tong R.C. and Chinese R.C. are keeping within striking distance of St. John's, the League leaders, who were not engaged. Both the winning teams conceded only two games last night.

DISAPPOINTING PAIR

most disappointing Perhaps the feature of the Free Lances' display was the poor form shown by J. L. Anderson and C. Bovalrd, who failed to win a single guine. When the two teams met in their first encounter, it was due to Anderson and Bovard that the Free Lances were able to win they annexed three games. Last aight they were far from their usual

His Thanks

Capt. G. W. P. Kimm has asked me to convey his thanks and best wishes to all those players who were kind enough to participate in last Sunday's game. It was a grand match, one of the best he has seen during his stay in the Colony.

The standard of hockey has been on the upgrade for the last three seasons, according to Capt. Kimm, and he hopes that it will continue to improve.

Capt. Kimm has always been at the head of things as far as hockey is concerned here, and I am sure all players and enthusiasts will join me this last opportunity of wishing him "Bon Voyage* and the best of luck in his new sphere of activities.
