CLEAN SWEEP FOR PUI CHING
The Pui Ching Middle School had a most successful time in the SCAA Invitational Inter-School Athletic Meeting at Caroline Hill Stadium over the last two Sundays. They won the Boys' A, B and C Grade Championships and The Girls' B Grade Championship. Here are the two winning Pul Ching teams in the boys' and girls' B Grade 400 Meires Relay. China Mail Photo.
Kenyon And Richardson Strongest County Opening Batsmen?
By ARCHIE QUICK
Worcestershire have two opening batsmen who, as a pair, are possibly the strongest any county can produce. One of them, 32-year-old Don Kenyon has been tried time and again in the fire of Test Matches and found wanting. The other, 24-year-old Peter Richardson was the batting success of the recent Pakistan tour. Yot despite carrying his bat for a century against the touring Australians last week, Richardson is not satisfied with his form. "I am out of touch" says this young farmer who now skippers his county for the first time. I cannot believe he lacks the confidence for the big occasion to the same degree as Kenyon does, but it is a sad thing for England in this most important cricketing summer that the one man who could fulfil the number one role is not happy with himself a month before the first Test at Nottingham.
Kenyon bladly admits that "T shall get my 2,000 runs for Worcestershire this slummer 1 expect but I simply ennbet get a respretable scure for Eng- land." J1 1:7

LEW HOAD FAVOURITE FOR SINGLES TITLE BUT NOT WITH HOLIDAY CROWD
Paris, May 21. Australian Champlon Lew Hoad is an overwhelming favourite for the Men's Singles title in the French Inter national Lawn Tennis Championships here, but he was not a favourite with the large holiday crowd on the centre court at Stade Roland Garros today.
Hoad beat former Boccer centre-forward, Nicola Pietrangell, of Italy by 6-8, 7-5, 6-1, 6-8 to reach the semi-
