The initial attacking was done by the Civilian' and after ten minutes" pressure, off a long corner hlt, G. II. Fowler received the ball and cracked a perfect ventre to G. Singh who, in the twinkling of an eye, hnd flicked the ball past Orman. This was a nice move and thoroughly deserved a goal.

The Civilians were back again with son: strong allocking but Osirin dashed out on several veea- slons to make good clearances from Wali and G. Singh. Except for two or Üree rake made by the Services' attack, the Civilian halves and for- wards got right into fuil stride and penned their opponents in their own half for the reialning 25 minutes.

After the dismal weather wo had had the past three Saturdays, it was indeed pleasing to see the sky clear up on Saturday and thus allow the Hongkong Lawn Bowls League to get going.

BROTHERS TO FIGHT IT OUT

(By "Abo")

Even though a great deal of the interest has probably been taken away by the fact that two brothers are in opposition, some good tennis should be seen on the stand court of the Hongkong C.C. this afternoon when Trul Wal-pul (holder) meets his younger brother, Tsui Yun-pul, In the final of the Colony tennis singles championship.

When the draw. was announced at the start of the tournament, it was realised that the two brothers would probably meet in the final. Expecta- lons thus have been fulfilled. Tho champion has had few tough matches, but has proved himself to bo hoad and shoulders above anybody ha has met so far; on the other hand, the young Trul has had a comparative cosy passage into the final.

The following is how the brothers reached the final:

Teul Wal-pul-1st round; received walk-over from G. W. Sewell; 2nd round, beat Chan Chi-keting 6-0, 7-5; 3rd round, beat Wong Shiu-wing. 6-3, 6-2; 4th round, beat H. D.
