"Broken Time" Question
A decision which would explode the British tradition that amateur players of games must never be paid their "out of pocket" money may be reached at the coming annual meeting of the Amateur Athletic Association"le London.
The payment of "lost time" to those chosen to represent Britain abroad is heavily forwned upon.
It was the "broken-time" question which caused Rugby foot- bail to divide its ranks and bring about the Rugby League code of professionalism. It was the same problem which decided the Foot- ball Association to break away from the Olympic football touran- ment-a cleavage which still exists.
Foreign amateur football teams openly accept payment for time lcat from work, and for this reason the F. A has nothing to do with the Olymple Games.

The Southern clubs are putting to the A.A.A. that the time has arrived for reconsideration of the whole question of "lost time.."
Now the Southern athletic clubs arc very powerful, and they are unanimous that the law which has stood for so long is out of date. If they think that way then it is reasonable to assume that they are not alone in their opinion.

Two disappointing matches were played in the Open Singles Tennis Tournament yesterday, in which Sirdar Rumjahn beat Leung Ping-chiu by scores of 6-2, 6-4, and W. C. Hang beat I. M. A. Razack ly 8-6, 6-1.
Of the two the Hung-Razack game was made less unlateresting by the great fight the loser put up to take the first set.
Hung had swept away to a 4-love lead and it looked like being
