The Sports Editor' Hongkong Telegraph.
Sir-I should like to volce a com- plaint concerning the broadcast commentary.-on Sunday's Football'
malch
between the Jongkong
Chinese Amateur Athlelle Federation and the Hongkong Football Associa- tion, which I heard over the wireless. The impression I gained and it is one shared by others to whom I have spoken on the subject is that the remarks of the commentator more: closely resembled the outbursts of
Пл
excited partisan spectator than those of a calm, detached and un- blassed observer of the play,
The commentator's remarks' were freely punctuated by criticisms of the referee, which were entirely out of place, and, by a seemingly studied determination to paint some of the Chinese playera os confirmed and incorrigible expencils of dirty play.

Well over 100 people watched Recreio "A" beat Y.M.C.A. by seven games to two in last night's "A" Division league badminton match at the Portuguese Club. But quite honestly, . I don't think that was the most interesting feature of an interesting en.

What impressed more than anything else was the brilliant displays of Patrick II. Wong and his partner C. E. Chng, who not only beat the formidable K. 8. Sten and Y. Y. Feng, two | Oliveira-Remedios Combination, of the three Chinese players who as well as E. de Sousn and H. A.

commentator's As I see it, a business is merely to give a descrip- tion of the high spots of the game certainly not to set himself up as an authority on points which should be loft to the Teacres, who, as often as not, is in a better position than any spectator to determine whether de tiberate fouls have taken place.
