PAT WONG WINS IN GREAT STYLE
THRILLING PLAY IN LAST NIGHT'S BADMINTON FINALS
HUI AND MISS KHOO TAKE
THE DOUBLES
THE large crowd who made the trip to King's Park last night to see the Badminton Cham- pionship Finals, were not disappointed, the whole being extraordinarily successful.

as a player he is without a doubt in a class of his own. His display last night was brilliant and he left the spectators gasping with some of his beauti- fully executed strokes.
T. Alves, above, will probably secure his place in the Portugal International hockey side to meet England to-morrow in the Final of the International tournament.

EST FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE SPECTATORS, BUT WONG'S DISPLAY WAS SUCH AN EDUCATION AND HE BROUGHT INTO OPERATION SUCH A WIDE RANGE OF STROKES, THAT HE KEPT THEIR ATTENTION THROUGH- OUT THE WHOLE ENCOUNTER, WHICH LASTED A VERY SHORT WHILE.
The Mixed Doubles was a thrilling affair and although M. A. Oliveira and Miss Mylthie Silva lost in straight games, there they were very little inferior to their conquerors.
The programme commenced with a men's doubles exhibition between E. L. H. Shute and J. J. Remedios and L. A. Carvalho and M. A. Silva which the for- pair won after a great struggle which went the whole distance.

Shute revealed that he is still one of the Colony's leading exponents and his powerful smashing, keen sense of anticipation and canny courtcraft, were chiefly responsible for the victory.

UNINTERESTING JUNIOR CARD
(By "ROVER") Though most of the Second and Third Division soccer teams will be engaged this week-end, there are no games of outstand ing interest, but an evenly con- tested game should be witnessed: between Recreio and Kwong- Wah, in the Third Division.
Sunday's game between Lye- mun and the Navy, who have already won the championship, has been postponed.
Recreio created the greatest sur- prise of the season when they de- feated the Fusiliers, the leaders, last week and a reproduction of that form should enable them to account for Kwong Wah.
DUEL ANTICIPATED Gaan will again be in the for- ward line, with Reis, in the pivotal position, though the latter will have a hard time against Rocha and Yip Kee, Kwong Wah's out.. standing forwards.
