CHINESE R. C. PLANS TO BUILD BADMINTON COURT
PART OF
LARGER SCHEME
Association's Search Ended?
The Hongkong Badminton Associa- tion's senrola for'an Ideaă couri on which to stage championships and other events may shortly come to an end, as it fa reported that the Chineso Recreation Club intends building a badminton couri ot part of the grounds adjoining the clubbouse, and that when this is completed, the club will be willing to allow the Associa tion to make asp of it.
The new court will not be ready
for the approaching season, but it la hoped to have it in use for the 1939-40 winter.
This is part of a scheme envisaged by the Committee of the Club to fivo better faciles to members. The piece of ground at the back of the CILC. club-house has, It la under- stood, been promised to the Club by Government. It is now being used as a stablo by the Volunteers, but next year it will be turned over to the C.R.C.
GYMNASIUM PLANNED
As soon as this is done, the C.R.C, Commitico will have hard tennis courts laid, in addition to which A gymnasium will be built, At the moment it has not been decided how big this gymnasium is going to be but it will certainly be of sufficient proportiona to hold A full-sized badminton court with accommodation for spectators.
PHYSICAL TRAINING' IN THE ARMY--Students undergoing the first physical training course held at the Command Gymnasium at Monot Austin. The offer in charge is Major IL. 8. D. Hopkinson, Rille Brigade. The instructor, is C.8,M,L, D. R. Pacy, of the Army Physical Training Staff.

The Shanghai Interport lawn bowlers were given a very close game by the Indian R.C. at Sookumpoo yesterday, and though the visitors fmally won by three shots, they themselves were the first to admit that they were extremely lucky to finish up on the winning end.

Many people have regarded Hong- kong's rink to-day as the strongest of the three selected. Personally, I can't help subscribing to this view; for one reason, because we have the. best skip in U. M. Omar here, and for another, because three Recreio men will be playing on their own green.
