The Open Championship.
A new record has been set up by the splendid entry of 78 for the Open Singles Championship. At first glance it does not appear as if Kowloon can repeat last season's feat of having seven players in the last eight, for no fewer than 24 Kowloonites are now pitted against each other, including the meeting of R. Lapsley, last year's champion, and W. Russell, a semi- finalist last year, in the first round.
