A BOMBSHELL,
[By "Rover."] A bombshell was thrown into our football atmosphere by the publication in the local Press, last week-end, of some remarkable May 5:
correspondence between two well- known local referces, and the Hong Kong Football, Association. In the first instance, Mr. Barber, RN., a well-known local referee, stated a very strong case against the governing body of the H.K.F.A., and, following this, Cap- tain Austin, M.C., perhaps better known locally than the former gentleman, and one of the lead- Ing football authorities of the Colony, published correspondence which, to say the least, put the ruling body of the H.K.F.A. in a weak position:
In brief, the incidents recount- ed by the two referees were both of a very serious nature. They were witnessed by many thou- sands of spectators and in view of the intense local interest taken in competitive and other matches in the Colony, where racial feeling runs high, it can only be assumed that the H.K.F.A. treated the matters mentioned in a very light manner; and their findings were not in the best interests of good sport in the Colony,
Rule 17.
Reading the correspondence carefully one is bound to enquire if the cases were treated on their merits.
Rule 17 of the "Rules of the Hong Kong Football Association Handbook" states that the Emer- gency Committee consists of three members together with the secretary who shall have power "to'suspend, fine or otherwise" as they think fit. Any appeal against any decision given for or against, by this committee, must be made within seven days of the The decision appealed against. appeal has to be in writing and
a fee of accompanied by
$10.
This rule is probably in- tended, in the main, for protests by clubs and players, and an appeal by a referee to the council (if the committee con- sisting of four active members out of a Council of twelve active and non-active members had already decided against him). would probably have little chance of success.
. Mr. Barber and Captain Austin both feel that their cases have not been considered fairly to them as ruling officials, and the positions of referees generally in the Colony, which has always been unsatisfactory, has been greatly weakened by the action of the Hong Kong Football Associa tion in the cases detailed, on which no further comment is needed here.

a punishment inflicted, commensurate with the offence.
Acrimonious discussion in the Press will not help matters, but the whole business has been much discussed in football circles in the Colony and, as stated by one of pected the referees' concerned, the Clubs have their opportunity to redress any grievances, or offer any re- medial measurea, at the annual general meeting which, according to the "Handbook," is held not
later than June 30.
Appeal to Public,
I entirely disagree with word of Mr. Moore's criticism. Given equal opportunities women would achieve equal success with men. They have not had equal op portunities in the past, and they are still handicapped by life. Nevertheless they manage to com pete very successfully with men.
Miss Flora Lion, the artist, said: Art is not, a question of sex: wo- men in art were proving that. Wo men have painted some of the finest pictures of the century. Look at Mrs. Laura Knight, A.R.A., for in- stance, and Mrs. A. L. Swynnerton, A.R.A,
Sargent himself once told me that he thought Mrs. Swynnerton's work was "superb," and he bought a good many of her pictures.
There are fewer women than men painting, but those who are devot- ing themselves to art are doing splendid work.
H.M.S. "Sepoy" which left Shang- hai for Foochow is now at the latter port.
