IT WILL BE A DISAPPOINTMENT, even if only. temporary, to the majority of swimmers in the Colony if, as at present indicated, the Combined gata on July 26 between the Chinese and the Y.M.C.A.-V.R.C. in aid of the Bomber Fund and the British Fund for the Relief of Distress in China is postponed.
Reason is the military manoeuvres that week-end which include the Volun- teers. The meet has not yet been postponed; a meeting of all the Clubs concerned is being called, but it is most probable.
As regards this gala, how- ever, it seems that there has been a misconception concern- ing the sides. It was originally planned us one between the combined Chinese Clubs and the combined V.R.C.-Y.M.C.A. Several people now think that it is the combined. Chinese who are on one side, and under that title Charles Huang, of the V.R.C.. has been included in that team.
In actual fact, with middle and long distance swimmers like Chan Chun-nam and Yau Sai-kwan, and with sprinters like Ng Nin, Tsang Cheong-ming and Ng Chun-man, the combined Chinese (even without the word "Clubs" attached) could afford to leave Hunng to swim for the V.B.C. where he would be much more useful.
Vivienne Churn, in particular, was In exceptional form and besides rmasking her own record for the 50 yards, contributed greatly to the breaking of those in the 150 yards melley and the 200 yards free- style relays.

A toss should be used on double plays when the ball is fielded close to second base. It is much easier for the shortstop to throw if the ball is above his waist on all the throws from the second baseILAI). Many times the second baseman will have to throw on the run or by jumping into the air on throwing, but it is possible for him to plant the right foot, he should step inside the diamond away from the runner and then throw.
