HAYASHI, JAPAN'S TENNIS PLAYER OF THE FUTURE
MODEL SHOTS OF LATE JIRO SATOH
ENTERTAINING EXHIBITION AT H.K.C.C. YESTERDAY
(By "Veritas")
In between showers of rain and on a court rendered difficult by the conditions, Hayashi, Japan's third best singles tennis player yesterday gave some idea of the difference between first class tennis and that practised in Hongkong, when he appeared in exhibitions at the H.K.C.C. The event was organised by The Hong- kong Lawn Tennis Association.

WAKES UP
Ng Sze-Kwong GOLF VETERAN And The Davis Cup
NOT GOING TO AMERICA
(By. "Varitas")
Mr. Ng Sae-kwong, former Hongkong tennis champion and Chinese representative in the Far Eastern Games, will not be taking the Chinese Davis Cup team to America as non-playing captain.
Ng Sze-kwong was invited by the C.N.A.A.F. to assume these reponsible duties, but he has found it impossible to accept.
He informs me, however, that he will probably attend the 1936 World Olympics in Berlin as manager of the Chinese playeri.
- COLOURFUL CAREER
Ng Sze-kwong was one of the most colourful personalities pro- dured on local tennis courts. He Brst won the singles title in 1917, after being runner-up to S. E. Green in 1915 and 1916. He still holds the record of having won the title six years in succession,
He was the first winner of the doubles championship in 1917 when he teamed with Wong Po- keung, and these two’held the title for three years. Ny stayed a "come-back" in 1922 when he ro- |captured the championship with Wel Wing-lok and retained it. for two years.
His profound knowledge of the game maken him an ideal manager and it is a pity that he is unable to give China the benefit of his experience this year.

Cup Presented For Competition
Between, 1904 and 1910 the Hon. Michael Scott, grost British golf amefour, won two Australian open titles and four national amateur titles. At 55 years of age in 1933 he captured the British amateur. He won the French amateur in 1912 and 1922. Up until 1933 ko represented Great Britain in numerous international matches.
RACING IN AMERICA
Equipoise Favourite For Santa Anita Event

On the other hand there is definite weakness in their decisions regarding other laws which allow for a certain amount of imagination and admit a human factor.
