The CB.A.. Ladies created a surprise in the anly Caer Clark Cup fixture last Saturday when, on their home ground, at King's Park, they defeated the Hongkong Ladles by a lone goal scored by Mr. White in the first half of the game.

There was never any doubt of the CB.A's superiority and if there had been more method thrown into the attack by the wingers, the total would have been appreciably higher. C.B.A.' well-deserved victory Inte in the season may be attributed partly to their splendid half-backs and backs. Mics A. Woolley, at right half, and Miss B.

Wooderson No

S, C. Wooderson, holder of the world mile running record, has not an attractive running style. sald the British Empire members of Games team in Sydney recently.
They believe that he accomplishes his fast times by concentration. courage and good living.
Members of the British team were sorry that Wooderson could not go to Australia with them.
The general manager of the British teams (Mr. Evan Hunter) said that the reason was that he had to sit soon for a final Law examina- tion. The trip might have Inter- fered with his professional prospects. Wooderson's world record time is 4min. 6 3-5sec.
"That achievement Indicates how great a runner he is," zold Mr. Hun- ter.
Wooderson took his running very seriously, sald Mr. Hunter. Ho waa a oulet, shy boy, and most popular In England.
"Members" of the team ̄said that he' was either a teetotaller or very nearly one. "And I am sure he does not smoke," said Mr. Hunter.

Looking at the entries and the draw of the Colony Tennis Championships organised annually by the Hongkong Cricket Club, it seems to me that unless some of the newcomers are of outstand ing merit or unless our junior players have shown great improve- ment during the last twelve months, the tities will in all probability be contested once again amongst the same few who have, at one time or other, won them during the last few years.
