Yesterday afternoon from 2:30 p.m. onwards, the Malayan Interport rugger players put in some practice on the Club ground.
The forwards are a big lot and appear to out-weigh their local op- ponents. Their two second-row men, F. O. McCall and J. F. M. Rouallo, are about 0 ft. 4 ins. and 0 ft. ing.. respectively, and weigh on the aver age 15 t. each. There is a big theso two between comparison players and the Club second, row, Pers and Walkden.

PITY THE WRETCHED ANIMAL!
London, Jan. 15. Racing men will be intrigued by the news from Australia that an electric jockey's whip, whleis was picked up on a raccourse by a taxi-, cab driver, is being inquired into by: the stewards.
It is a cunning contrivanen with cleverly concealed coll and battery. 34-in suspected that the jockey using it does not beat a horse with it, but places the end against neck or hind quarters and presses a switch, thur giving the wretched animal an elec- tr'e shock and cousing it to run like the devil.
This invention heavily out-dates the stick and dangling carrot method, but what is worrying Australian Buhorities is that the fexi-driver, is alleged to have jent the whip boolmaker.
16-7% feared that if use of the clean trie whip becomes gin meng bookmakers, they will be able by employing It confhtman eries moments for the
