MRS. ASHTON'S GRAND DEFENSIVE

INTERPORT SWIMMING

MEETING

NEW RESIDENTIAL

QUALIFICATION

TRIAL OFFICIALS ELECTED

(By “CRAWL”)

A meeting of the Interport Swimming Committee took place yesterday evening at the Victoria Recreation Club where timekeep- ers, Judges and Diving Judges for the forthcoming Interport

trials were elected.

Mention was also made of the new residential qualification rul- ing which the Shanghai Amateur Swimming Association had intro- duced. This was to the effect that Interport selections must have three months residence from the time of the Interport contest working backwards, is which case it will be very doubt ful whether L. Oliveira, who is now in Shanghai on a holiday, and Kwok Chun-hang, who is at present in Canton, will qualify for either of the two parties!

-

Mr. J. R. Lyon, who presided, stated that Hong Kong's represen- tatives would only be selected from competitors participating in the trials, and no matter how good a swimmer might be, if he did not take part in the trial, he was not eligible.

Full credit for the visitors win must go to Mrs. Ashion, a though I am not suggesting for one moment that her partner, A. L. Sullivan, let her down in any way. Realising the futility of trying to score points on him, all the home pairs concentrated severely on Mrs. Ashton and right nobly did she shoulder the extra burden with the result that in at least two sets, she carried her side to victory.

The most interesting game in Specially noteworthy was her this afternoon's tennis programme service game, with the scores at should be witnessed at Cor's Road, five all, against Wong Shiu-wing where the Kowloon Cricket Club and Miss Rumjahn, on which it Recreio in the **A** was thought the whole match de- entertain Division of the League.
