We have "big-game" hunters in the spot of honour at the Top of the Sports Parade this week and even if their achievement was unexpected and their opponent unusual there is no doubt now that the incident is over they feel very proud of their
success.
Actually I am not sure that "big-gume" hunter is the term applied to those who tackle large snakes but in this respect I trust that the purists will be tolerant.

Rumanians Drive Japanese Girls To Tears
Utrecht, Apr. 19.
In the singles. the hard- hitting Japanese were superior, be however,
and deserved their thethree victories..
There were tears in the Japanese camp after the, Corbillon Cup match with Rumania. None of the three Japanese players could utter a word as they sat dejected on their bench before the table where a devastating blow against their chances of retaining the title had been struck them.
"
"What a disappointment," murmured Japanese coach Hasegawa, his face reflecting, his words.
It was some minutes before he could recover to be able to express his feeling.

THE DERBY
ROY BELL'S GREATEST
RACE
It may be that Roy Bell will improve still further, but his 61.5 seconda effort în the 440 Yards Hurdles at Kai Tak on Surday was his greatest race and was also the fastest Low Hurdles time posted in this Colony since P-T J. McNab's 61.4 seconds for the 440 Lows and 61.0 seconds for the 400 Metres Lows at Sookanpoo and Caroline HIB respectively in 1951.
The trio representing the Civilians were all reserves, but they combined to give Bell quite a race as this snap of the field taking the last hurdle shows. On the left of Bell is Samuel Lo, the DBS schoolboy who on his first ever attempt at the Low Hurdles clocked 62.0 seconds for a Standard Medal, and on the right are Cheung Chek-yin, who may even have finished first or pushed Bell to faster time if he hadn't lost his balance clearing the ninth hardie. He is not taking the 10th too cleanly either as the picture shows. On the extreme right is Leung Kam-ching, a good hurdler with no sense of pace who showed, too, that he wasn't going to be outclassed by the best.China Mail Photo.
