INTERESTING CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES TO-MORROW

(By “Wick")

THE SODDEN Craigengower groom last Saturday made it impossible for the all-important match between the Longue champions and the Craigongower C.C. to be decided, and thus wo shall probably have to wait until the end of the season before the championship of the First Divi- sion can be decided.

Besides this, four other matches in the day's pro- gramme were postponed on account of wet greens, while the outstanding feature of the games decided in the Senior Division was the first success scored by the Hongkong F.C., who defeated Club de Recreio "B" at Happy Valley by ten shots.
