Country Club: Draw ACCIDENTS
For 1939-40 Ladies Cup
(By "Birdie")
“BALL VULTURES” or “scavengers” as they have previously been so aptly tormoď have recent- ly been making themselves a great nuisance at Shoungshiu. They have been repeatedly "warnod | 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.

Sappers beat the Middlesex by three points (a try) to nil
at Sookunpoo yesterday.
The winner revealed a wenk- ness 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- away. In the second period, however, the Sappers would have scored on at least three occasions had they possessed a nippier pair of halves.
Walte played a sterling game in the loose and punted to great ad- vantage, but he starved his three- quarters. Noutch; on the other hand, was slow in setting his bucks going.
The play of the Middlesex was more spectacular, because
they adopted the policy of “opening out" the game. Thus, several good three- quarter movements were seen. Why they did not fructify was 'beenuse diagonal running was resorted to, This mistake was common to both sides.
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,

A week or two before the cham- pionship was played at Bad Ems, Mrs. Critchley took the cup to the German Embassy in London and asked if they would have it sent back to Germany for her.
This they refused to do. How- C. ever, Lieut.-Colonel J. T. Moore-Brabazon, who proposed - to play in the German amateur cham- plonship, sald he would take the cup over with him.
At the last moment he decided not to compete. So the cup, re- mained in his office in London.
