Excellent Game Between Press And Middlesex
"AND SO THE POOR-
DOG HAD NONE"
The match between the Navy and the U.S.R.C. was one to which I had been looking forward for some time with the pleasantest anticipations, as I knew some of our brighter cricketers would be turning out. There is always excellent sporting cricket on a Sunday at the Navy ground and their messman has a brand of pickled cauliflower which appeals to my a-little-below-the-region-of-my- heart. Unfortunately it was not to be.

Clear-cut Victory For Jack Smith At N. S. C.

Jack Smith (Worcester), the 19-years-old engineering ap- prentice who turned boxer and won the Daily Mail's £2,000 heavy weight novices' competition last December, reappeared at the National Sporting Club, Earl's Court, last month and punched his way to a clear and workmanlike victory.

UNINTERESTING TENNIS AT YESTERDAY'S MATCH
(By "Abo")
Will the Tsui brothers be able to repeat their 1938 success in the Colony Tennis Doubles Championship this year? Yesterday on the stand court of the Hongkong CC. they advanced another step towards this goal by beating J. W. Leonard and George Chon in straight sets in the semi-final round and, unless an upset occursj should now meet the Rumjahn cousins in the final. It will be a match worth going a long way to see.
