For fteen years Wilson has been playing with and teaching golf to players with handicaps varying from scratch to 36. and he claims to know something about the fundamental principles that have evolved from his experience. His object is to show the average golfer, the man with a handicap of 8 and upwards, what a simple game golf really is... He believe that most golfers are in a state of fright because of trying to remember all the things that they have been told to do, and the innumerable things that they should. not do. Hence, Wilson starts with a little "debunking" by way of clearing the ground for the constructve recommendations.

A MATTER OF OPINION
WOULD THE I.R.C. HAVE LOST?
(To the Editor. "The Hong Kong Daily Press"]
Dear "Si-Your correspondent F. Mela. appears to me to be quite convinced that if the cricket match between the Indian Recrea- tion Club and the Craigengower Cricket Club last Saturday had not been interrupted by rain, the latter would have won. That, at least, was the impression I got from his account of the match.
1. venture to say, however, that it was the opinion of many present at the match that the chances were" about

GOLF CHAMPION
OF JAPAN
Exhibition At
Singapore
A large crowd of golf entha- siasts followed with keen interest the exhibition match, over 18 holes at the Island Club's course At Singapore, recently between Chick s. Chin, open golf champion of Japan, partnered by S. N. Kelly, and MA Paterson and Dr. E Laidlaw Thompson.
The golf served up was of a very high standard, the course being in perfect condition.
', Chin was in top form as his score of 87 indicated, and he seemed to have the touch of the greens. Kelly made some very good approach shots, while Pater- son played his usual forceful golf. Dr. Thompson played a cautious same.
I do not know when the game will be played again. I hope the

The return match ought to pro-71: Dr. Thompson 77 and Paterson vide us with some very good cricket and let as hope we will have good weather for it.
It is now many years since I took an active intérest in the game but
I hope I may be permitted to say that the umpiring of this particular match was the best I have seen in this Colony. The spirit in which this game was played was in accordance with the highest traditions of King Cricket and when the replay comes off may the best team win,
Following the game Chin gave 3 demonstration, explaining # number of the finer point in various strokes.
I thought I would just write and say that it was rather unfair to the Indians to say that the chances. are that they would have lost had the game been allowed to go on.

TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIPS RESUMED AT H.K.C.C.
Tsui Brothers Win Easily On Stand Court
By pa
After a week of inactivity owing to the bad weather, the tennis championships held by the Hong Kong Cricket Club were resumed yesterday with two matches in the singles event, and two in the doubles. The third singles, between H. Owen Hughes' and S. S. Hussain was postponed, the Indian player being on the sick list..
The big match of the afternoon, the doubles the between the Tsul brothers and A. V. Gosano and A. V. Remedios, was played on the Stand Court but it proved a sad disappointment as the Recreio representatives were completely outclassed though in fairness it must be said that both Gosano and Remedios brought off some nice shots in the two sets that were played.
The Tsui brothers had a useful, tunity and did not appear to be afternoon's practice. They were so concerned where he placed it. much superior than Gosano and Remedios that they did not have to exert themselves and even in the second set when the Portuguese were leading 3-1, they were not in the least perturbed.
Gosana worked very hard and never gave up trying till the very last point. He played a fairly steady game but was up against two much better players and was invariably beaten after a short rally.
Gosano took first service but the Tsuis had an easy time of it"tak- Remedios was definitely weak ing the set at 6-2. Tani Wat-put with his overhead shots but he was puiting his fast service to test | brought off a few very fine drives and sent over one or two aces including a couple of outright while the younger Tsul brought off winners in the second set. He was, some very forceful ground shots however, too anxious to finish off including a couple of excellent rally and for that reason sent backhanders. He smashed the ball several outside which he might good and; hard at every oppor-have placed to better advantage.

LEONARD AND CHOA
George. Choa and Joe Leonard made further progress at the ex- pense of F. H. Kwok and S. W. Liang Leonard played a grand gatie and it was due to his efforts mainly that they won so easily. He showed very good judgment with his shots. and his placing in particular was good. Choa Was sound without being brillant.
Liang and Kwok played alto- gether too carefully and it was for that reason they were beaten so easily. Kwok, in my opinion, Is only dangerous if he gets anything on the forehand but Leonard saw to it that he was starved on this hand.
