ROSSELET WINS RINKS FINAL

Brilliant Bowling By Winning Four: Duncan's Splendid Efforts Fail

(By "Wick")

ON RELATIVE FORM, it was by an extreme- ly flattering margin-20-16—that C. S. Rossolet's rink (R. Basa, A. E. Coates and }. S. Landolt) triumphed over R. Duncan's four (Â. Calman, W. Houston and E. Lovett) in the final of the lawn bowls rinks championship at the Kowloon Foot- ball Club yesterday. For the greater part, it was only the brilliant offorts of Duncan that saved his side from complete annihilation.

With the exceptions of the skips, Rosselct's men were head and shoulders above their opponents. Time and again the foundation laid by Bann, Coates and Landolt was only undermined by Duncan. On occasions, far too few to be of any real assistance, Houston and Levott opened up pos sibilities, but Rosselet, too, like his opposite number, was to be relied upon, and the skips' duels, which were, perhaps, the outstanding feature of the match, never failed to alter Local Baseball the situation.

Forward Failings Again Apparent: Players Finding Their Feet

UNDER A HOT and blistering sun which played havoc with energy, Police and Kwong Wah football teams shared four goals in a friendly pre-season encounter at Boundary Street on Saturday. Despite this and their long lay-off of football, the form displayed by both teams presages a strong challenge to last season's top-liners,
