As

FOR AQUATIC TITLE,

Shanghai, Sept.. 4."-

S Hong Kong has been unable to accept Tientsin's invitation to participate in the coming interport swimming meet to be held In the Northern port, Shanghai and Tientsin will fight out the issue between themselves on September 8, 9 and 10.

We may confidently say that the standard of swimming expect ed will exceed anything hitherto seen in interport competitions held in China and records that have stood for a number of years seem to be fated to fall as rapidly as they have done here this summer.

ours from last year and the two other cities feel sure that with their present representation, they could wrest the title from the holders..

Both Shanghai and Tientsin haye gathered a galaxy of 'swim- mers who are much superior to those that went in for the triangular Interport held here last year.

The 1932" Lawn Bowls Season will conclude to day when the remaining seven matches in the two Leagues will be decided. The...... Police Recreation Club and the Kowloon Cricket Club first team have already concluded their fixtures. The K.C.C. won their last match against the Police at the Valley last Monday by 64 shots to

The most interesting game on the programme is that between: the Bowling Green and Taikoo on the latter's green. At the moment the peninsula side are at the foot of the table, but a win to-day would force the Police to share the wooden spoon. Talkoo' lost to the Kowloon Docks last Saturday and will probably fight hard to place themselves as far away as possible from the wooden-" spoonists. Even if the Bowling Green win they will be forced to take the bottom position on account of the better shots record of the Police, Club,,
