FILIPINO : OLYMPIC PLAYERS' MATCH
On the L'R. C. ground, last even- ing, there was a large attendance present to witness, the Filipino tennis players, en route to Osaka by the s.è. "President Grant" to take part in the: Far Eastera Olympiad, in three matches against local players. The two singles fell to Hongkong, while the visitors won the doubles after a long struggle in the third set, which was not decided until the score was called 14-12.
Naturally most interest centred in the match between T. Honda, the champion of the Straits and F.M.S. and Francisco Aragon, champion of the Philippines. Unfortunately none of the visiting Filipinos have ever played on a grass court, so that to commence with they were very much "at sea." In the case of Francisco Aragon it was especially marked; at no time did he look like a winner. He is forceful player witli some excellent back-and strokes, but was very erratio yesterday.

There was some hesitation about Cardinal Raiti's election only be cause it was assumed that he was really too learned, too much of a scholarly man, to be immediately acceptable to two-thirds of the Cardinals and the voting evidently hung long in the balance. His mission to Poland also brought him into contact with conflicting in terests, which, it was supposed, might have told against him, and, finally, when he was appointed to the Archbishopric of Milan his in- augural sermon contained some remarks on Church policy that seemed of too liberal a tendency towards modern States, and especially to wards the Italian Government.
