NO-STOCKINGS

A TENNIS GIRL WHO WILL STICK TO HER RULE

Miss Bille Tapscott, vice-captain of the South African Warnen's Lawa Tennis Players, is a Young Lady Who Knows Her Own Mind.

The first question a reporter put to her on board the Balmoral Castle, which brought the team to South- ampton Was "Are you going to play without stockings-again, as you did in England two years ago?" "Of course I am," replied Miss Tapscott.

"I do not want to set a new fashion-people can do as they like but I discovered that wearing stockings handicapped my game, so

just left them off."

It startled a lot of people at first, you know," she was reminded. "I don't care. I shall continue to play without stockings until I am stopped," was her reply.

Midnight. . and So! Miss Tapcott was wearing stock- ings just like the rest of the team when Mr. T. B. Barker, ac- companied by Louis Raymon, C. J. J. Robbins, and D. Malcolm, the South

Africah men players, who arrived in London and Mr. C. G. Eames, the English International, greeted them. Of the team, Miss Tapscott and Miss Heine, the South African singles champion, have been

The hawker, to whom the sale was made, said that he had bought the gramophone for $5.

Practice at Once

A wireless message was sent to them three days ago telling them they were entered for the British hard courts championship at Bournemouth. The girls thought that they were not going to get any practice, but the arrival of Mr. Barker quieted all apprehension.

"I have arranged for the girls to go straight to Bournemouth by car," he said, "and they will have a full day's practies before playing their first matches."

THE DAILY SUICIDE

Another case of suicide occurred late last night when an unknown Chinese jumped overboard the Yaumati Ferry "Man Yeung",

The ferry was en route to Hong Keng, and was just passing the Naval Anchorage, off Kowloon, when the cry of ""Man overboard" was raised.

Lifebelts were at once thrown over, the launch swung around, and lights were procured. After lengthy search no trace of the miss- ing man was found.
