MANILA TO JOIN ANNUAL INTERPORT BASEBALL DEVELOPS A
SOCCER SERIES Relationship Placed
On Permanent Basis
Manila, May 6.
The football relation between Manila and Hongkong is now more or loss permanent. At a meeting of the head officials of the Hongkong, football delegation and the PAAF football com- mittee at the Wack Wack Country Golf Club, Thursday, noon, it was tentatively agreed that every year the Hongkong team plays in Manila during the month of February, while the Manila team will go to Hongkong during the month of April.

CHINESE MEET IN FINAL
The change is suggested in view of the difficulty of the Manila players, who are mostly college and university students to secure leave of absence during the academic year for the purpose of playing in Hongkong. Al- though is advantageous for Hong- kong to play in their home city during the Chinese new year's day in the latter part of January or early part of February, they were agree- able to change the date in accordance with the request of the P.A.A.F. foot- ball committee.

An carlier report stated that Sanchez and Ampon were due here to-morrow at 6 p.m. and would leave again on Friday morning, at 1 a.m. In view of the time of arrival and departure, Mr. T. A, Pearce, Hon. Secretary of the Hongkong Lawn Tennis Association, told the Telegraph yesterday that no exhiblilon would be arranged in the Colony.
Now, however, it may be possible that the Filipino Davis Cup players will appear here; everything will de- pend on the length of their stay in port.
