He is on his way to London to witness the forthcoming cricket Tests, which be will broad- cast to Australia. He has been specially appointed by the Aur- tralian Broadcasting authorities to do his work.
Speaking to a reporter of the Times of Ceplou Mr. Wendell Bill maid that the news of Jardine's re- fusal to play in the forthcoming Tests would he received with satis- faction throughout Australia, where it was still felt that the Ashes were lost through the English Captain's Australia persistency with what
would always regard as the danger- ous "body-line" attack.
"If this type of howling is not resorted to in England during the tests, then Australia has a splen- did chance of regaining lost Ashes, There is no doubt that England de- fented us in Australin almost as a result of adopting hody-line bowl- ing."

That the total of $446.85, which represented the gate ceipts for the three matches played against the All Malaya hockey team early in April, was not in proportion to the numbers who watched the game, was the opinion of Mr. R.

Mr. Wong also pointed out that there were only eight mem- bers from affiliated clubs, present at the Hockey Dinner, with the result that the returns for the Dinner were also below expecta- tions.
A total of $339.71 in payments over receipts was shown and this was to be met out of the Guarantee Fund subscribed to by the affiliated clubs.
Thanks were extended to the Club de Recreio' for facilities extended in connection with the refreshments after the games, and to members of the Entertaining Committee, who had put in good work during the time the visitingj Loam were in Hong Kong.
Mr. A. A. Dand, presided at the meeting, and those present were Mr. F. A. Kemp, (Hon. Secretary). Mr. R. H. Wong (Hon. Treasurer), Captain R. C. H. Bates (Army), Mr. W. Woodward (H.K. Club), Mr. F. G. Barros (Incognitos) and Mr. Jahan Dad.
