Unfounded Fears Of Entries Falling Off Excellent League Games On Week-end Programme

A HARDY LOT though I know local lawn bowlers to be, I thought, when the heavy rain fell at lunch time on Saturday, that all matches in the League would have to be cancelled; but I was mistaken, Three clubs defied the sodden greens and the threatening weather, and three junior matches were decided.

Perhaps the most interesting--certainly the closest --was that in the Third Division between Indian R.C. and Kowloon B.G.C. Hitherto undefeated, the Indians lost by two shots after an encounter in which the issue was in doubt until the very last head.

The visitors arrived at Soo-JA. E. Chutes, A. R. Dullah, It. F. da R. Duncan, A. Hycle-Lay kumpoo three men short, and it Luz was just as well for them that A. d. Hall, F. X, M. da Silva and C.

The President of the Association, Sir Atholl MucGregor, turned out as No. 2 for the Bowling Green and seemed to be enjoying his game im- mensely. He played very well.

The green was not as heavy as it Jobked and, by all appearances, was playing better than one would have expreted, all things considered.

These on paper at any rate, appear the the inost formidable pairs in the competition.
