THIS AFTERNOON'S LEAGUE TENNIS

RECREIO SHOULD WIN

AGAINST K.C.C.

BOTH C.R.C. TEAMS BELOW

(By Adrem)

MOST INTERESTING MATCH ON THIS AFTERNOON'S “C” DIVISION TENNIS PROGRAMME APPEARS TO BE THE CRAIGEN- GOWER CRICKET CLUB-KOWLOON TONG ENCOUNTER AT HAPPY VALLEY, - `BOTH TEAMS SUCCESSFULLY NEGOTIATED DIFFI- CULT HURDLES LAST WEEK, THE FORMER BEATING INDIAN RECREATION · CLUB, WHILE THE LATTER TOOK FULL POINTS FROM CHINËSE RECREATION CLUB (1).

It was expected at one period, that Kowloon Cricket Club would have been able to make a good fight of it against Recreio. If they had fielded the same team which did service for then last week, they might have done so, but despite the fact that G. A. White is back in the side, I am afraid the absence of D. J. N. Anderson will make a big difference.

J. L. Anderson represented the K.C.C. in the "D" Division last week. This afternoon, weather per- mitting, he will assist the "C" team against Recreio.

AMATEUR

STATUS IN THE OLYMPICS

Instructors Eligible In Certain Events ?

Warsaw, To-day. The question of amateurism was taken up by the International Olympic Committee at its second meeting here yesterday, the pro- blem of whether swimming, skiing and gymnastic instructors were eligible to compete in the Olympic Games being the main point under consideration.

A special committee composed of M. Edstroem (Sweden), Mr. Avery Brundage (U.S.A.), Signor Bona- cossa (Italy) and Dr. von Halt (Germany) was appointed to clari-

ROYAL HUNT CUP there wition of amateurism.

CALL-OVER

Four Runners Strong

In Favour

Their pairings this afternoon will be, G. A. White and W. M. Gittins, R. S. Capell and R. E. Lee, and J. L. Anderson and V. H. Freeman. The first- named pair should extend any of the Recreio com- binations but I cannot see either of the other pairs. 100 to 6 Fairpay taken and offer- securing more than a set between them.

Recreio are one of the strong- est teams in the Division and although they are making several changes from the side which beat South China last week, they are likely, if anything, to be more powerful.

South China and I. R. C. should have a close game at King's Park, with the odds slightly on the for- mer, who have at least one very good pair in H. Y. Hsu and C. Liew. Kwan and Mok can also be relied upon to give excellent accounts of themselves and between these two pairings, the Chinese should be able to rely on at least four sets.

Apart from M. el Arculli and J. S. A. Curreem, who should win three sets, I. R. C. are not par- ticularly well off for talent,” al- though A. M. Rumjahn and · A. R. Kitchell may manage to spring a surprise or two.

C.R.C. LACKING IN TALENT " Both C. R. C. teams, this season, appear to be much weaker then for many years and it seems very un- likely that their "B" team will-dis- tinguish themselves against the powerful Army side which last week defeated their senior team, C. R. C. (1), however, should account for Radio S. C. who, apart from D. Leonard and Sherriff, have no strong combinations.
