Not Many Sides Likely

Sides Likely Winners At SHANGHAI INTERPORTERS

To Extend Club

This Season

All Round Strength Shown Against Kowloon C.C.

(By "R. Abbit")

It is a bit carly to talk at present of League games but I must confess that I do not see any side that on present form is likely to extend the Club. All the same some teams seem to "train on" as the season advances and others-among them the Clob-are apt to sag a bit.

see R. T. V. Kyrke is back again in "Regent" and presume he will play when available. He and Pax- ion would make a good contrast as an opening pale of bowlers.

On Saturday last the strength of 1 marsh who got going for the Oral the Club all round was shown as it time this season and made 45 out of 90. Both sides played one short was not so much the regular scorera runs, or, for the

In view of his most ex- cellent fielding he is going to prove a tower of strength if he confluues to succeed with the bat. F. H. Stokes too, who made 16 not out, has been batting well this year.

The very weak C. S. team did quite well to get the I.R.C. out for 125. By the way, the score sheet is wrong surely?

BATTING COLLAPSE Broadbridge will in time make quite a good opening bat, but no one really came off for K.C.C. possibly due to the shock of their having lost Anderson early on, who fell

But as usuni when the Brst wicket went no one could do anything but McLellan and. Hawkins who saved the side. The IR.C. are going to have rather. A struggle in this sen- son, though the new fixtures enable them to escape playing any League gomes in Ramadan.

THE JUNIOR DIVISION

I don't know what happened to: the Recreio and Craigengower match found the latter Club having a quiet knock up among themselves. The Recreio accond however, kept their date with Army II and Patter- son rattled 7 of them out for 13 runs in a total of 17. The Army won comfortably.

LOW SCORES

MAKE A SPLENDID

START AT VALLEY

Led 19-1 At One Stage In Match With Hongkong F.C.

(By "Abo")

The Shanghai Interport lawn bowlers made such a splendid start in their game with the Hongkong Football Club at Happy Valley yesterday that they were leading by 11-0 at the end of the first five heads and 19-1 after the eighth. Having established such a substantial lead, the visitors were never in danger of defeat and finally finished up winners by 20-14.

K. L. Swartzell, W. J. MacDermott, LA M. Gutierrez and J. M. C. Lopes (skip) represented Shanghai, and J. S. Howell, G. Duncan, E. Tuck and W. GI! (skip) turned out for the

Hongkong FC.

The fast and wide-drawing green made control of the woods difficult, and the upshot was a mixture of food and indifferent bowls. Thero were few poor heads, but there were also some flue ones in which the position was changed with almost every wood sent down.

Shanghat settled down more quick- ly than their hosts. With Swartzell,

ing their opposite numbers, Lopes found himself with a comparatively easy task, while Gill was up against it most of the way. Gullerrez parti- cularly was in good form, drawing well when required to, do so.

Tommy Farr Is Suspended

London, Oct. 14. The British Boxing Board of Control has announced that Tommy Farr's licence is sus. pended from to-day.

Commenting from New York on his suspension, Farr said: "I won't pay on principle. Maybe I will never want to return to England, therefore it is immaterial to me if I never fight again in England."

The payment referred to is the fine of £750 which. the Board of Control has imposed on Farr, and which he has steadfastly refused to pay.
