The only bright spot was a nice little innings of 20 by Hollidge, who is, I think, the youngest member of Uie side. He played with confidence and made some very nice shots.

RUGGER LEAGUE
TWO MATCHES in the Army Rugby League were played yos- terday on the Army ground, Sookunpoo, where the Royal Engineers defeated the Royal Scots in a thrilling game by 6 Ipta. (two tries) to nil, after lead- ing 3-0 at half-time, and the 5th A. A. Brigade caused an upset by beating the 8th Heavy Brigade by 11 pts. (a goal and two tries). to 3 (a try), after leading by 8-0 at the interval.
Low and hard tackling, fine back movements, and excellent foot rushes contributed to the the first splendid showing in game.
The Scots radly missed. Boo, Ridsdale was fant, but was given little leeway. Duke, Pinkerton, Mil- ler and Sutherland shone for Scots In the pack, and although both sets of forwards played well in the loose,. the Scots were unable to get going the quick breaking of the Sappers' pack giving their opponents' backs who entered ittle opportunity to break away, the semi-finals of the Country Club Championship by beating P.

Mrs. Kew Again Wins Ladies' Championship
(By "Birdio")
A RECENTLY REPORTED DISCUSSION among several great American golfers at the White Sulphur Springs C.C. following the $10,000 Miami Open tournamont was about long drives. Gene Sarazen opined that Sam Snead, who won the Miami competition and thereby gained a quartor of the total prize money, was the longest driver, for consistent long distance, that golf has over had.
The statement aroused considerable differences of opinion.
Snead, incidentally, edged out Harold McSpaden, who won the Manila Open title this year, by the narrow margin of two strokes-nine under par-the score being 271 to 273. McSpaden was the holder, and strongly favoured to win again, and though he rallied on the last round, Snead came home with a six-under-par 64, tied the course record, and nosed home by two strokes.
