The Club points out that Hongkong has an exceptionally busy season in having to entertain both Malaya and Shanghal and therefore they have no time ut present to accommodate the Marines, owing to shortness of play- ing time. If the Marines wanted to play in Hongkong they should have arranged the trip in December when Hongkong would have gladly wel- comed them.
