SOUTH CHINA A.A. TO ORGANISE
RACES OPEN TO ALL SECTIONS OF COMMUNITY
A SPLENDID PROGRAMME OF TRACK AND FIELD EVENTS ARRANGED
(By "Abo")
One of the most common complaints amongst local sportsmen is that athletics have received so little attention in the Colony. The University,| the Volunteers, the Hongkong Area and various clubs in Hongkong hold annual sports meetings, but during the last ten years or so, no meetings have been organised which have been open to all sections of the community.
Time was when the Victoria Recreation Club held annual athletic mools, which were always very popular. But since the V.R.C. stopped organising these meetings, no other body has come forward to continue the good work.
This is a position which is to be equipment, but the ground is cer- deplored. There should be a centralny big enough. body in Hongkong empowered organite annual meetings open to all

The Com the civilian population, such a meet-mittee of the South China Athletic ing would, I am sure, draw a great number of entries.
Surprise has been expressed in the past by notable aufletes passing through Hongkong at the lack of athletic organisation here. I still re- member the time when Glenn Cun- ningham, Ralph Motchife and other athletes passed famous American through Hongkong on their way to. Muglia for an exhibition. During their stay in the Colony, they were quite willing to appear against loent athletes but although they were here during a whole week-end, nothing was done and a great opportunity for local sportsmen to see these world- renowned athletes in action Wh missed.

GROUND DIFFICULTY Now and again we have had Japa- and Filipino track and fteld stars in the Colony, but again through lack of organisation no meeting could the visitors be arranged in which could take part.
Of course the chief reason why an Association has not been formed In Hongkong is the lack of a ground which the Association could use to hold meetings.
The same difficulty does not arise The South China A.A. Stadium

Another suitable nite for such a meet is the new Police ground in Boundary Street. don't know where the Police have the necessary
Association have decided to organise an athletic meeting open to all sec- ions of the community in Hongkong. Besides events for men, special openi events will also be arranged for Jadles.

Here is the latest idea in socks.
No need over
to bother again with suspenders. You just slip on a pair of Tenova socks, and they keep themselves up. The small band at the top with Lastex yarn in it does the trick, and the result - no drag, no tension, far more comfort. And every time you send your socks to the laundry the band goes with them. Tonova socks are made in a big variety of attractive patterns for day time, black for the evening. white for tennis and cricket. Ask for Tenova self-supporting socks.

Lt. Manners Hits Five Fours And A Six In An Over From Longfield H.K.C.C. Badly Thrashed By Royal Navy On Saturday
There was an excellent game on the Club ground last Satur- day between a weakish Club side and the Navy, and the Club got one of the most conclusive beatings that they have had for a long time, thanks very largely to some bad batting on their part and some very good cricket by Manners who made a most delightful century.
I said at the beginning that the Club were rather a weak alde, but when I come to look into the team it seems to me that there were only three people playing who are not regular members of the first eleven. True, two of those places belonged had they to Bowker and Beck, and
