(By "Tinker").

RECREIO'S HOPES for the Rinks Championship this year were practically put to an end yesterday when their two most powerful fours were eliminated in Third Round Matches.

At the Kowloon C.C., J. Hoosen, A. M. Rumjahn, A. R. Dallah and M. R. Abbas beat L. J. Silva, A. M. Rodrigues, F. V. V. Ribeiro and H. A. Alves 24-10, and at the Kowloon F.C., L. Sykes, W. McNeill, R. Duncan and A. J. Hall beat J. A. Luz, C. E. Marques, L. F. Xavier and J. F. V. Ribeiro 31-10.
