Golf Becomes Big Business
RIVAL TO CRICKET RACING NOW AMONG COUNTRY'S SPORTS
The golf craze has hit Australia hard; in fact, it has become so popular that it, is fast rivalling cricket and racing, at present dominant "down under." Jim Ferrier and von Nida are the lead- ing players, and they are good enough to be considered among those in the running for the British Open this year.
There are 781 golf clubs in Australia, made up of: New South Wales 285, Victoria 249, Western Australia 90, South Australia 65, Queensland 61, Tasmania 31. Taking into account the public links which have sprung up like mushrooms in recent years, Australio possesses more than 1,000 courses.
Among them 250,000 golfers (a conservative estimate) own clubs and bags valued at nearly £1.500,000. 17 they use one ball a week the annual bill can be assessed at £20,000. Then, as nudist golf has not yet be- come the vogue, these golfers have to be filed out with nppropriate

HONGKONG AREA FINALS DECIDED LAST EVENING
The finals of the Hongkong Arca novices individual boxing champion- ships were held at Nanking Barracks, Shamshlupo, Jast night. Some good boxing was seen, and perhaps the best bout of the evening was that between Pie. McDougal and Pte. Pawcott, which was Won by the latter. Both fighters went for each other right from the start, and at the end McDougal was congratulated by the referee for putting up a plucky display.
Col. Nevill G.S.O.I., distributed the prizes, after which he said that when he first came out he was told he would probably see some very diety fighting in the neighbourhood. Last week at the Border this was proved to be perfectly true, and it was a great pleasure to see a whole evening of absolutely clean fighting.
