BADMINTON PAIRINGS
"A" and Mixed Doubles division of the Badminton League:
Mixed Doubles Division but as the Following are leading pairings in fixtures in this division are somewhat behind, it is not yet easy to comment on their prospects of achieving the double for the second year in succes
The return of Yong to made a world of difference successful was his partnership with C. K. Lee--the first time they have pair-sion. ed off in the League this season ac- ..cording to my records-that three this one games were secured from pair.
Yong's form, in League and chain- pionship matches recently has been most variable to say the least, but he rose to the occasion in fine style on Wednesday, to give a rousing display. Lee was never brilliant but he was quiet ..eminently sound, preferring
proving methods to spectacular and most efficient in consequence.
Hui was strangely erratic and al- :though he did pull out some of the amazing shots for which he is noted, The gave the impression of being some-
what out of practice.
CHEW PLAYED WELL
Chew was not to blame for the lost game against Koh and Au as he kept to a minimum, his mistakes down while bringing off those cleverly dis- guised overhead drops, which are a prominent feature of his game.

Generally speaking the standard was not as high as was to be expected in a game of this description, and errors. abounded in all of the games.

AND BALL
By BEST BALL
Little items of play which often are disregarded by the average golfer are yet important enough to seriously affect one's play. Con- sider for instance the position of the ball in respect to the club- head at address in iron shots. If the toe of the clubface is aligned with the ball exactly in front of it, the player is apt to discover His feet are too far away at ad- dress to dllow an efficient stroke. In reaching for the ball during the swing, he so disturbs the posi- tion of his body that all accuracy is lost.

In addition to this fault, the toe being the weakest part of the clubface is apt to disappoint the
