TO-DAY'S TENNIS
Most interesting game on this afternoon's League tennis pro- gramme appears to be the fixture at King's Park between Club de Recreio and K.C.C. “A.”
Both teams will be at full strength and although Recreio, with ground advantage, should manage to win, K.C.C. should give them a very good game and there
is not likely to be much in it at
the end.
Two other games which should be fairly interesting are the Craigengower-H.K.C.C. and C.R.C.- K.I.T.C. fixtures although in both cases, the first-named teams should win.
Following is the programme and some of the teams:-
K.C.C. "B"

C.R.C.
v K.I.T.C.

BRITISH AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP; NO SURPRISES
Hoylake, To-day.

IN past years, many complaints have been made about the inadequacy of the dressing room accommodation at the Army Football Ground, Sookun- poo. Previously it has not been pos- sible to do anything about it owing to lack of necessary funds. However, the money has now been obtained and it is hoped to complete the scheduled im- provements in time for the opening of next football season. The new dress-

Three days will be occupied in reducing the entry of 167 to 32.
There were no outstanding first round surprises though Ted Wards of Aberystwyth beat the Hon. Michael Scott, winner in 1933 by 2 and 1.
I. Calder of Formby beat Tony Torrance the former Walker Cup captain, by one hole, and Charles Yates, the American holder of the Championship, beat Bruce Thomp- son, of the Royal Liverpool, 5 and 4. Reuter.

The new construction will be of con- crete and will include dressing rooms
for the home and visiting sidės, separ-
ate rooms for the referee and lines- men, shower baths, and wash basins besides the conveniences,⚫
This question has been debated for several years past and Captain E. H. B. Neill, the Secretary of the Army on his tenacity in bringing the subject Sports Board, is to be complimented
to a successful conclusion.
CAPT. NEILL LEAVING
Incidentally Captain Neill will be leaving for home next month.
Сар- tain Neill has accomplished much since he has been in charge of the Sports Board, a position which he has held for almost two years, and will be sad- ly missed. His successor will be Cap- tain S. Burn of the Royal Scots.

An accident occurred this morn-in charge of Army Athletics. ing at the training gallops at Valley, but luckily not of a serious
nature.
Another member of the Sports Board who is also leaving the Colony is Ma- jor G. P. Murray, the Hon. Secretary The the success of the Athletic meetings for the last two years has been almost entirely due to the keenness and en- ergy of Major Murray, and, he also, will be very much missed in local sports circles.

SUMMER HOCKEY
Although the Hockey season is over officially, the Army are rather fortun- ate in having several hard grounds which are kept in use all through the
summer.
These are situated at Chatham Road, Kowloon, and at Prince Edward Road, Although many of the European units, make use of the allotments, the grounds are mainly kept open during the summer for the use of the Indiaŭ units who play Hockey for twelve months of the year.
Army Hockey is now in the capable hands of Lieut. G. W. Hook of the R.A., who is attack hockey player himself.
