Country Club: Draw ACCIDENTS AT SOOKUNPOO
For 1939-40 Ladies Cup
(By "Birdio")
“BALL VULTURES" or "scavengers" as thoy have previously beon so aptly tormed have recont- ly been making themselves a great nuisance at Sheungshiu. They have been repeatedly "warned off" the course by the Committee of the Country Club, but on such a course, where out-of-bounds is invariably a paddy field or tilled ground owned by surrounding farmers, it is almost impossible to keep them from insiduously worming their ways back again and taking advantage of the in- accurate.
There was a most provoking incident last Sunday, which resulted in the course being cleared once more and warnings re-issued.
A PLAYER at the 8th, a dug
lex. drove the out of bounds, but when arriving at the fairway where his bull should have been could see only the wide and unblemished open spaces. His caddie roughly tickled the four or five urchins in the offing, and while he was in the process of searching one of them, another of their num- bor scuttled back, some fifty yards away from the hole, and, diving his hand, into a pool where the ball could not possi- bly have dropped, triumphantly produced the missing ball and impudently awaited a "tip." He
got one, but not what he ex- pected.

Sappers beat the Middlesex by three points (a try) to nil
at Sookunpoo yesterday.
The winner revealed a weak- iness behind the scrum, and it was this factor which was chiefly responsible for their victory by only three points. In the first half, the Middlesex had the better of the game, though dur- ing this period the Sappers scored following a sudden break- NWBY. In the second period, however, the Sappers would have scored on at least three occasions had they possessed a nippier pair of halves.
Waite played a sterling game in the loose and punied to great nd- vantage, but he starved his three- quarters. Nautch, on the other hand, was slow in setting his backs going. The piny of the Middlesex was more spectacular, because
they adopted the polley of "opening out" the game. Thus, several good three- quarter movement were seen. Why they did not fructify was because diagonal running was resorted to. This mistake was common to bol rides.
DISJOINTED PLAY
Play on the whole was disjointed due mainly to the fact that players were prone to individualism. Three- quarters not infrequently attempted dash through and were invariably brought down where a quick pass to the wing might have succeeded.
For Middlesex, Berry, Jackson and Giflam were prominent. The try came towards the end of the first half when Birrell, left wing three- There is Goddard's dynamite bowl-quarter, touched down at the extreme ing-for- Gloucestershire-agalast-Kent-und-after-the-Sappera-hud-broken -seventeer wickets in a match. away from a serum in midfield.
