The Queen's Club track upon which so many great athletic battles have been fought is to be ploughed up, and the space utilised for more lawn tennis courts. The Club has
developed of recent years chiefly on
the side of lawn tengis, and to meet the needs of the members for this and other ball games the drastic alteration in the grounds has been decided on. Thus the Oxford and Cambridge Blues and other athletes will have to find another ground for their annual meetings.

On Wednesday afternoon, Hong Kong's baseball fans missed a very fine game between the Sacramento and the tahville. The Sacramento's officers including the Captain and the executive officer were there roo ing for their boys to "bring home the bacon, which they did in great style, although they didn't start un- til after the third inning, with the score 3 to 0, against them. The re junevated team of the Ashville did not look so well, except in spots, and Henson, procured recently, failed to do much, having only
bault the Sacramento's star twirler struck out eleven of the opposing team. The Sacramento team just slugged
to victory. I their way Kenniff's home run with two-ca base' put the game on ice. There were two or three snappy catches made in the outfield, which were labeled extra buses the deville's centre field robbing Hagwood of a home run by making a beautiful one hand running catch. The final

Sin, beg to tender my "con- gratulations to Mr. C.L.C. for his appearance in this morning's paper, in replying to the correspondents. Mr. C.L.C. has been a long time in responding to all that was said against him, but it is "better late than never."
Mr. C.L.C. says that he advocatee remarks in a friendly spirit. It is always very well for one to suggest the idea, but one ought to be able to do what one advocates before that idea is advocated. If he would take the trouble to look over the many things he has written about the Chinese players, he would find that he has made remarks in a spirit none too friendly:

There has been a track at Queen's since the Club was first opened in 1987. Up to the war it was a three-
afterwards it was converted into
four laps. Since 1988 the Inter- University sports have been held at Queen's, and all the present recordy For the sports, with the exception of M. J. Brook's famous high jump, have been set up at this ground most of the running recorda being accomplished on the three-lap track. Other athletic meetings held at Queen's of late years have been Woolwich," Sandhurst, and Cran- well sports, and the Public Schools (Past and Present) Relay Races, while the Achilles Club have had their headquarters at the Club.
If the Universities do nce want to move to another venue at 'ence, the Queen's Club track will be kept in order until next spring, and the conversion of the ground made After the next University sports.
The Universitics will probably choose Stamford Bridge, the L.A.C. track, for their annual meeting place, and though many will regret the moving from Queen's, the Chelsea ground offers much better accommodation both for spectators and competitors, besides possewing a faster track.
