AUSTRALIAN CRITICS ARE PLEASED

Melbourne, August 13.

EADING Australian cricket critics seem to think the English selectors have chosen a useful and well balanced team for the forth- coming tour. The following are the opinions of Bradman, Clem Hill, Victor Richardson and wicket-keeper Oldfield:-

Don Bradman says:-"The English side should develop into a very strong combination. I would say that it is by no means We will have strong opposition, certain which side will win.

and the odds seems 50/50 to me at the moment."...

Clem Hill states: "I think the English selectors have chosen the best side to leave England for a long time. It is significant that three left-handed batsmen have been included, probably with the object of minimising the attack to be expected from O'Reilly and Grimmett."

CHAN KI-CHUNG IN LIMELIGHT

(By "CRAWL")

THE Mak Ngah Association practically swept the board at the quadrangular swimming gala held under the auspices of the European YM.C.A. last night in their pool, when a very large gathering witnessed several thrilling events and two fast water-polo games which brought the aquatic programme to a successful conclusion.

L/Cpl. Pearse, the Sappers' quarter-mile champion, swam a brilliantly judged race to win the 220 Yards free style from H. G. Lange (YMCA.) and Pte. Taylor (East Lanes.), while Chan Ki- chung, who was deputising for Kwok Chun-hang, faded out of the picture following the sixth turning.

Cpl. "McCarthy (East Lancs.) was another swimmer who came into the limelight, and his effort in the 50 Yards free style and during the medley relay, when he all but reached the finish ahead of Chan Ki-chung, places him as the best sprinter in the Garrison. Shek Kam-pui made a welcome reappearance in the "Y" Bath after an absence of over two years, and distinguished himself by winning the 50 Yards back-stroke comfortably.
