PROFIT ON SATURDAY'S GALA

Only $20 Expenditure

From a financial point of view the Hong Kong Interna- tional Amateur Swimming Association profited to the ex- tent of $157 as the result of. their first gala at the Y.M.C.A. Swimming pool last Saturday night.

The total expenditure in con- nection with the gala did not exceed $20 which is probably a record.

Y.M.C.A. “A” IN ACTION

Two Water Polo League games are down for decision to-day at the Chinese Servants' Club.

Fung Kwok-wa who played right back for the Combined Chinese Team last Saturday night will again be seen the Young Companions' to-day, while Shek Kam-pul, their brilliant centre forward who captured both the 100 yards and the 50 Yards back stroke at the same gala, will be South China's most dangerous attac» ker."

The Navy will be without the eervices of their best forward, Lee. who was badly injured at Repulse Bay on Sunday, when he fell off the steps of a raft and crushed two ribs.

He is at present at the Royal Navy Hospital making good progress. Grover, who played for the Euro- peans last Saturday night, will probably lead the Naval team against the YM.C.A. "A" this afternoon at 6.30 p.m.

The Y.M.C.A., who are probably the strongest team in the League should win comfortably in the wider and longer pitch.

The K. C. C. will have S. A. Gray and G. C. Burnett back in their side, and "Sammy" Green and D. S. Green, and R. B. Hambly and G. A. White are the other pairs.

Itoh, who was seen in ex- hibition games in Hong Kong on his way to Europe, was outclassed by Sutter's stroke play which was reminiscent of Rene Lacoste, the famous French player.
