In fact, it could almost be said that the rain in longkong has done more to disorganise sport here than the wat, has done at Home. And every little game over there serves the dual purpose of giving the people the sports Indulgence thes want while simultaneously collecting money to further the alns of the war. WONDER what Hitler thinks about it all? Does he really imagine that he can quell a people who have a spirit like that? Could a German sports- writer say the same thing about his own people?
The German propagands of panics in England can never be believed, except by the solid think-what- you're-told-to-think Germans then-
Iselves.
Just think once more of that gal' match in the Tyne district. Henry Collon considered and sank a four- foot pult amid the crackling tune of the anti-aircraft action a little dis- tance off. And the spectators were just as coolly intent on the stroke as Was Cotton! (and his opponent).
Then they all gazed up to see how the other interesting drama was going on.
