COTTON FAILS AT THE CRUCIAL MOMENT

(By GEORGE GREENWOOD) London, June 29. Alfred Padgham, of Sundridge Park, Bromley, Kent, won the Bri- tish Open Championship with a total of 287; at Hoylake, on Saturday. His four rounds were: 73, 72, 71, 71.

James Adams, of Romford, Essex. was second with 288, a stroke behind. while Henry Cotton and Marcel Dallemagne,

of St. Germain. Paris, tied for third place with 289. Gene Sarazen, the famous American

Max Schmeling sealed 192 pounds and Joe Louis 195 as they weighed in a few minutes before their fight at Yankee Stadium in New York City last month. The result proved to be the biggest sensation since James Braddock outpointed Max Baer for the title

About 20,000 people, the biggest crowd ever seen on an English golf course, saw the triumph of Padg- ham, who had been a popular fav-j ourite from the first day. His victory follows a remarkable series of successes, starting with the Match-Play Championship last au- tumn. which in one way and M other have produced for him £1,500 in prize-money-

Walter Hager estimated that the British Open Championship. was worth £10,000 to him, though the actual sum in cash which goes with the Cup is only £100. While it is not to be supposed that Padg-1 ham will be able to exploit his success to the same extent, a rea sonable estimate is in the neigh- bourhood of £3,000.

NEEDS REVISION

PLAYING OF SENIOR PLAYERS IN JUNIOR GAMES

(ByACE")

WILL begin my notes this week with an appeal to the Hong Kong Tennis Association to do something to stop the all too frequent practice of playing senior players in junior teams to "stiffen up the side" in matches of importance. The present rul- ing is that players who have not played more than one game in a senior team are allowed to play for the juniors. This is decided- ly wrong, and unless the clubs are willing to adhere to an un- written law not to comtenance such a practice, the LT.A. should! insist on the registration of players in each division, and any in- fringement should be made punishable by the forfeiture of the points concerned.

LACK OF EXPERIENCE BEATS LOSER

ALVES ELIMINATES NORONHA

(By 'Referee")

IACK of experience, more than anything else, led to the down-

fall of A. M. Omar, the Craigengower Cricket Club bowler, when he met A. W. Grimmitt, of the Civil Service Cricket Club, in the quarter-finals of the Lawn Bowls Open Singles Cham- pionship on the Hong Kong Football Club green last evening, the score in favour of the 1934 champion being 21-15.

Without belittling Grimmitt's effort, it must be said that he was a shade lucky to win by the margin of six shots, for had. not Omar made a fatal mistake on the 19th end, anything might have happened.

Grimmitt was then leading 19-15 and when Omar had one more wood to bowl, it was obvious that a measure was neces- Instead sary before the umpire could decide who had the shot.

of "drawing" with his last wood, Omar drove, carried the "jack” and gave Grimmitt the required shots for victory!

The match was a repetition,
