EMULATING the Ancient v. Modern match that was arranged by Henry Cotton at Home last Further year, Australian golfers recently played one of their own in aid of the War Funds. This, actually, was for the Soldiers' Comforts Fund, but many others have been played for the Red Cross Fund.
TWO MATCHES in the Junior
In this match of gutta-percha ball v. the modern singles, one in the Junter Doubles rubber-cored ball, Sam Bolger (N. S.

Bolger, with hickory shafted clubs, went round in 79 (eight over par for the Bonnie Doon course, N.S.W.) and Richardson, with steel shafts, took 81. They slammed and slammed, but the little solid ball would not go.
The veterans with the rubber- cored balls out-drove their opponents by 50-60 yards with the wind, and by 80-90 yards against the wind. Amul after about a dozen holes, the gutta-prela bails began to swerve, wobble and dive like snipe, especial ly against the wind.

Suggestions For Local Enthusiasts To Consider
Flood-Light Advantages
(By "Ball Fan")
THE EXASPERATION of softball postponements due to various reasons with the acknowledged one week wait before resuming schedule, has its discouraging re- percussions especially toward the end of each year's schedule when Hongkong's rainy season puts in its de- pressing appearance, just about the time when the pen- nant chase is at its sizzling point.
With the growing popu larity of this game in the Colony, night softball, or softball under the flood- lights should take a com- mending spot in the 80- called "improvement of this game" in Hongkong.
In Canada and the United States, hundreds of softball fields from const to coast have presented night games
und the number is cow ing annually. Successful play under floodlights demands a high level of brannapot, so distributed that the held itself and the ball as i flies through the air, can be seen clearly frem all positions by both players and spectators.
