DISPUTE OVER MISS BOBBY HEINE.
S. African Councillors and Wedding Gift.
"ABSOLUTE NONSENSE.”
The difficulty of determining precisely the dividing line between amateurism and professionalism in sport has again been brought into prominence by the decision of the Council of Transvaal Lawn Tennis
Association.
South
GERMAN EXPLANATION.
Berlin, Yesterday. Herr Curtius, the Foreign Minister, in
speech in the Reichstat, said that economic anxiety and distress impelled Austria and Germany to take action to equalise their Customs trade conditions, in the hope of improving and extending their trade and industry.
It was difficult to understand the objection that the proposed Customs union affected Austria's independence or violated treaties,
Miss Bobbie Heine, Africa's foremost lady player, is to be married at Easter, and a strong feeling has existed among the members that, by giving her a wed-or that it endangered peace. ding present the Association will be enabled to show their appre- viation in a small way of the ser-
vices Miss Heine has rendered to the game. The question arose, however, whether the wedding gift would
Miss Heine's infringe amateur status, and a meeting of the Council, held to consider the point, decided that, while the exact wording of the definition of an amateur might not cover auch a case, it would be contrary to the spirit of amateur rules.
It was pointed out that since the other leading players received no prosent when they married an ex- ception in the case of Miss Heine might cause a certain amount of ill-feeling and create a precedent. The Council finally decided that it was undesirable to make Un oficial presentation to Miss Heine, though, naturally, the members of the Association are free to give her wedding presents in their private capacity,
18
The decision has met with some criticism in England. The "News
It Chronicle" describes "amateurism gone mad"; and member of the Council of the Lawn Tennis Association dismissed it as "absolute nonsense."

They could not object to Mr. Henderson's intention to submit the matter to the Council of the League of Nations, although they considered that an examination into the legal aspects of the pro- ject was unneccesary.-Reuter.
AIR SERVICES.
FRESH PROGRESS REPORTED IN CHINA.
SHANGHAI TO ICHANG.
Shanghai, Yesterday. The Shanghai-Ichang air service, carrying both mails and passon- gers, was launched this morning, when an amphibian machine sot out, piloted by Erich Just, who during the War was a member of the famous "Richthofen's Flying Circus." It is hoped that the ser vice will shortly be extended from Ichang to Chungking and Chengtu.
This afternoon, a meeting of Chinese officials and officials of the Eurasia Aviation Corporation is being held at Nanking to discuss details concerning the establish ment of the Nanking-Berlin air ser- vice, in connection with which two Junkers aeroplanes recently took off to survey the route betwen Nan- king and Manchoul-Reuter.

TO-MORROW.
He said that it was believed that the cradle of the human race was one particular place, namely, the Garden of Eden, perhaps in Egypt, China or else- where; but it now seemed probable that humanity began in four differ- ent places with each race distinct from the others.
He explained that the study of blood transfusion had proved that all the people of the world were divided into four blood groups, although every country had people of each group of types.
A study of these blood groups had enabled modern peoples to be divided on very broad lines accord- ing to their origin.
