Strong Come-Back
This is the second occasion this,Glamorgan. season that they have accomplished this feat, winning fairly comfort- ably after Yorkshire made a sport- ing declaration. Barnett, the Eng land opening batsman, then played a magnificent innings and Glouces tershire knocked off the runs quick time.
in
Chiefly responsible for their vic- tory 'yesterday was Goddard, who returned some amazing bowling figures-13 for 99-to dismiss the Tykes for 176 and 105. Actually Gloucester were led on the first in- nings thanks to Verity, who took 7 for 47.*
-Another powerful county to meet with a reverse was Lancashire, who 75 dropped first-innings points against

FROM HERE
AND THERE
I mentioned in this column on Mon-
day that S, O. Khoo, a brother of Kho Sin-kie, was a member of South China's "C" League tennis, teám.
>
This is not perfectly correct as this player, who is said to be well up to the standard of Tsui Yan-pul, was only passing through on his way to Shang- hai. A visiting member of South China, he took the opportunity of, playing one game against C.R.C. Most unfor- tunate from C.R.C's point of view!

THERE is a type of sportsman, not usually met out here, who flourishes, practices and holds tournaments with regularity in England.
a
He is a type for whom nobody could have anything but. the umost admira- tion. A man who although seriously handicapped physically owing to mis- fortune acquired after a taste for particular type of sport has been acquired, adapts himself to circum- stances and carries on to develop a skill which very often places him on an equal footing when it comes, to a test against an opponent more for- tunate in the matter of physical equip- ment..
article on
This all arises out of an
"China Mail" published in the
Thursday concerning the entry of G. club, into the semi-final of the One- Armed Golfing Championship of Bri-
Marseille, of Royal Hong Kong Golf
tain.
Marseille was out here quite recently and although I did not know him për- sonally, I followed his sporting activi- ties with some interest. He is really a shining example of how determina- tion can triumph over physical disabi- Lancashire, led by a narrow lity. Not only is he a golfer of_cláss margin on the first innings, came but in Hong Kong he used to figure back strongly in the second in tennis tournaments with some auc- when Paynter made a century but сева.
I have not had information regar- Glamorgan had little difficulty in ding how he fared in his semi-final but playing out time.
I do know that prior to the cham- England At Tunbridge Wells, Kent scorpionship, he represented ed a good win over Leicestershire against Scotland, in the One-Armed principally through the efforts of players international and played a big
part in the English victory, Fagg, who made a century, Harding, who took 9 for 47 in the two innings..
