KWOK BOUND FOR

ALL-CHINA SWIMMING STAR FOR CENTENARY CHAMPIONSHIPS
METEORIC RISE TO TOP OF LADDER
(By__“REFEREE")
KWOK CHUN-HANG, CHINA'S MOST BRILLIANT ALL-
ROUND SWIMMING STAR AND HOLDER OF THE BRITISH NATIVE 200 YARDS BREAST-STROKE CHAMPION- SHIP, LEFT THE COLONY THIS MORNING FOR THE MEL- BOURNE CENTENARY CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES BY THE 8.8. CHANGTE.
Kwok Chun-hang has been entered for the 100 Yards Breast- Stroke Championship of Victoria, the 100 Metres Centenary Championship, and the 200 Metres Breast-Stroke Championship of Australia, in all of which he is considered to have a good chance.
There is also the possibility that he will be entered for the 100 Yards Back-Stroke Championship.
Kwok, who is the youngest, son
of the late Mr. and Mrs. Kwok!
Ching-cho of Canton, was born in Hong Kong in 1913 and re- ceived his early education at the Sai Nam College.
He has had a meteoric rise in aquatics and shone in his first year of swimining, when he came second to Chan Ki-chung, then South China's swimming cham pion, in the South China Athletle Association's Harbour swim. This was in 1930..
Since then he concentrated on the breast-stroke and has since shattered in brilliant style all the existing breast-stroke marks in the Colony, the Interport contest, and In the China National Games

BRILLIANT STAR AND SOLDIER OF
BRITAIN VIE FOR HONOURS ABLE AMAZON SETS FIVE OF THIRTEEN RECORDS IN CONVINCING MANNER
CAVALCADES IMPROVEMENT GIVES HIM NARROW VERDICT OVER CLASSIC HALL
.
ONLY the depression marred this year's racing. Had the times been
better the year 1934 would have gone down as a red letter year in the annals of the Jockey Club. Despite the fact that we had the best batch of Australians on display that
all practically in the same class, with the exception of Able And that the griffins and subs were also very evenly divided, the public had not the money to specu- late and racing consequently received one of its biggest setbacks for many years. So bad did it become that the Club were forced to reduce the cash sweeps from $5 to $1 andeven to experiment with a $2 pari-mutuel.
Mr. Norman Dellz worthily filled Mr. Leo Frost's shoes as champion jockey in the absence, on leave, of the latter. Coming to the Colony in the 1933 season Mr. Deitz rode 8 winners. This Mr. season he has had 30 winners, a clear lead of 8 over Mr. B. A. Proulx, his nearest rival L. Dunbar was again the leading owner with Mr. Dynasty and Messrs. Kong Bros. close on his heels.
IT IS DIFFICULT TO SELECT THE THREE BEST PONIES IN EACH OF THE THREE NEW BATCHES-SOLDIER OF BRITAIN, BRILLIANT STAR, AND RIBBLE STRUCK ME AS BEING THE PICK OF THE GRIFFINS; CAVALCADE, CLASSIC HALL, AND COPPER IDOL AMONG THE SUBS; AND ABLE AMAZON, NELL GWYN, AND RACING HEART IN THE AUSTRALIAN CLASS.

Mr. Leo Frost, the champion joc- key for the last three years, took part in only 49 races as
against 165 last season, but rode 12 win- ners.
