E. C. FINCHER'S DASHING

Giving one of the most dashing performances of his local tennis career, E. C. Fincher beat Ho Ka Lau yesterday in the fourth round of the Open Singles, by three sets The golf course seems to be the final. Fincher played with con- to one, and thus eaters the semi- saving grace of Feochow.

Sandy's Pulpit.
1 understand that the Greens Committee have a scheme afoot. so improve this hole by placing pim- ples on the leading edges of the green in order to trap the man who gets off the line.
Pimples are by no means idea: hazards. They are just as likely to "help the really bad-e. topped-
shot as they are to trap it and are practically never found on a course with any pretensions to class.
Fanling is a class course. Every week-end and during the week, for that matter, it gives us enjoyment and pleasure unstintingly, and it seems rather mean to repay it by. giving second rate hazards.
The lies you get among pimples depend so much on luck, whereas

At Fanling bunkers must be pro- perly drained. At Sandy's pulpit the lie of the land lends itself to efficient and easy drainage.
Bunkers are expensive to make. and maintain, but the hundred or two extra dollars spent would be amply justified by the creation of a class hole instead of a tentative nibble.

Two Polish Jews, who in 20 years built up a silk and woollen business in London with a turnover of £100,000 a year, were stated at the Old Bailey recently to be unable to read or write.
One of them, who became a na turalised British subject in 1915, said that although he could not read writing he could read print.
