By "OBSERVER”
The current World Table Tennis Champion, Johnny Leach, who is expected to arrive from Singapore this afternoon and open the three- night series of exhibition matches here tonight at the Southorn Play ground, will face players who are perhaps his strongest opponente so far in his world tour.
With the exception of Chau Chan-kow and Chung Hing-chau, Hongkong has chosen its best teams available for the three nights' games, which will be played on the Davis Cup pattern of four singles and one doubles for each night's session.
The outcome of these games and the performances put up by the local stars will bear a special significance in view of Hongkong's decision to participate in the World Championships at Bombay next year.

A SLIGHT FAVOURITE TO REGAIN THE DAVIS CUP
Says CORNELIUS RYAN
For Bradford
London, Aug. 18. Billy Elliott, Bradford's outside-left, has made up his mind not to sign again for the club for the next season.
..
Elliot made two requests to be
allowed to make a move during
the last season but Bradford declined to part with him and still are against him going.
Ellie insisted, however, that his one amblilon is to move to a club in the higher grade of foot-
ball. Recently Middlesbrough were prepared to transfer two players and also to pay a fee to Bradford for Ellloff, who la valued at over £20,000.
Burnley and Sunderland are |also interested in him,
Chelsea are also having player trouble, for it was reported that Johnny Harris, the Scottish inter- national centre-half, and Roy Bentley, the English international forward, have both refused to sign.

Cuan McCarthy Takes Eight Sussex Wickets For 14 Runs
Hove, Aug. 13.
Cuan McCarthy, tall fair-haired fast bowler, today became the first South African cricketer to accomplish the "hat-trick" on the present tour. He wrecked the Sussex Innings with a devastating spell which brought him the last eight wickets for 14 runs. He finished with the figures of 17.5 overs, fivè maldens, 36 runs and eight wickets. His "hat-trick" came with the last ball of one over and the first two of his next.
