By "RECORDER"
The first evening's cuenta in the Interport Swimming contest between Hongkong and Manila at the Victoria Recreation Club, the first in history between these two ports, proved the overwhelming superiority of Manila's men's and Hongkong's women's swimming, but the evening will be longest remembered for the never-say-die spirit displayed by Honghong's Chan Chun-nom.
