and Craigengower, at Hung Hom. The letter won the corres- ponding match last
year by bare shot, only for their victims to achieve a similar result in the return match, at the Valley.
The visitors may have lost some of their confidence as the result of the closeness of their game with the Civil Service last Saturday, but I doubt it.
Kowloon Cricket Club will have the asistance of Joe Fraser for their Inatch against the civil Servants at the Valley. After their meritorious win last week, K.C.C. should continue in a winning vein.
Fraser, by the way is playing as No. 2 to Ernie Kern. There also are some changes among the home rinks Simmonds for one, having been pro- moted No. 3 to Sam Randle. This should strengthen the rink as Jack Deakin who occupied the berth
pre- viously has struck a bad patch.

SPORTS COMMENTARY
Safe With Hammond
It cannot be said yet, because it has still to be proved, that Hammond would be as good a captain as the best we have had in our time-D. R. Jardine.
But he could safely be trusted to skipper the England side. He would not disdain to ask and sift-the ad- vice of others. How far wrong could we go by making our greatest all-round cricketer captain of our side for the whole series?

Sonja Henie Breaks All Records
SONJA HENIE, recently turned pro-
fessional, is, gathering in the harvest. In 30 appearances on her current American tour, the Norwegian champion skater has drawn £140,000 at the box-offices, of which her own share is the not inconsiderable sum of £40,000. Her income averages at about £12,000 a week, making her the highest paid sports performer, of all time. Added to that, she ranks eighth in Hollywood box-office appeal listings, so even if. she retired now she would have a large fortune.

Al Brown's Knock-out Finale
L BROWN, the I.B.U. world ban-
A tam-weight champion, fought his
last.fight of a remarkable career when he knocked out Valentin Angelmann, the I.B.U. world fly-weight champion, in the eighth round at the Paris Palais des Sports.
Brown intends to retire for good. He first won the world title in 1929 and. after retiring, came back to regain it a month ago at the age of 35,
Of all the players of ball games the least skilful and accurate in his work is the Association footballer. This conviction has been forced on me after many years of observation. It is im- possible to range one's self entirely on the side of those who say that the game attracts too many men who have not sufficiently alert mental equipment. But that players of high intelligence are necessary in the modern game is made evident week after week. And second to intelligence I would put
coaching. H. Freeman.
