RETURNS FROM FURLOUGH
Mr.
manager
Guard, Harold
Hongkong
for the United Press Associations, has returned from al months furlough in England..
HAD a look at the Free Lances' court at the Seamen's Institute Just evening (living gone down there with the idea of "covering" their match with University, only to find it hus the had been postponed). It
of a fiest-rule, court, and especially attractive is the matting which covers the wooden floor. Once this has become fully stretched and free from "rucking" when players dash about on it, this surface will be in the Colony on one of the best which to play. It is easy on the feet, eliminates the dangers of sliding, and enables one to turn quickly. The only drawback about the court is the white walls and ceiling which make It hard to follow the fight of a fut shuttle. Experiments arc Being carried out with the lighting which is adequte, but not ideal in its or- dinary state. Greatest need, though, seems to be to darken the wall, which at the present throw a confusing re- flection on to the court.
