HE first half of the 1938 racing season of the Mrs. Seth Hong Kong Jockey Club was successfully. Lucky completed on Monday last, when Mr. Don. Black, Mr. and Mrs. Stanton 1936 champion jockey, made a gallant, but unavail-Wong Sui Ngau ing, effort to overhaul Mr. C. Encarnacao, North- Miss Scott Harston ern crack, and Mr. H. C. Pih. Riding four winners Yeung & Pih on Monday, Mr. Black finished up with 13 wins as against Mr. Encarnacao's 14 and had to take third place to Mr. Pih, as he had five seconds as against Mr. Pih's nine.
Features of the season among the jockeys have been the great improvement shown by Mr. "Benny" Proulx, who is no longer only a sprint distance jockey, and Mr. S. W. Tang, who secured five of his seven winners on Louis XIV, his own pony.
Mr. Cyril Gregory, who graduated at the Fifth Extra Meeting, has also shown great improvement, and Mr. A. F. D. Colson, riding for the first time in Hong Kong, has established himself as the leading novice rider. It will cause surprise if Mr. Colson does not graduate during the second half.
In all, 57 jockeys were on view during the first half.

"REVIEWER'S"
SPORTS COMMENTARY
Four Perplexed Golfers
The second qualifying round of the Dunlop-Southport £1,600 Tournament Southport was marked by a re- markable incident.
at
A. D. Cairncross, Withington, and W. O'Brien, Newlands, playing the 9th hole of the Southport and Ainsdale course, each hooked their second shot on to the fourth green at about the same time as J. E. Watt R.A.C., Epsom, and W. G. Robertson, City of Derry, were approaching it in an orthodox manner. ⠀
All four players arrived on the green simultaneously, to find that the four balls were of the same make and bore the same numbers. There was no possible means of identifica- tion.
Eventually a marker selected a ball for each player, and the pairs con- tinued their game.

British L.T.A.
Criticised
TE decision of the
British
L.T.A. to support the proposal to hold the international team championship biennially has pro- voked strong criticism in the cur- rent issue of "American Lawn Tennis."
It was the British Isles, says this journal, which issued the first chal- lenge for the Davis Cup in 1900, and won it on the third try, Thencefor- ward she was steadfast in her efforts to hold or regain it each time it was lost. She was the only nation, save the United States, that ever sent a it winning team to Australia; and was she who put an end to the six years' reign of France in 1983; and having won the Cup again the origina- tors of the game held it for four- years without a break.
After referring to Perry's “irrepar- able loss" to England and to the re- tirement of Austin, Hughes and Lee, the article points out that there ia "a new brood of players in Great Britain who could be trained to strive skilfully and courageously for the greatest honour in the lawn tennis world the winning of the Davis Cup. "Now is the worst time to hoist the white flag and to say in effect that 'the lean years are upon us, we do 0 not consider it necessary to strive to fatten them; let supremacy in the

game we invented, evolved and made, great with our own great players, go hang; we have Wimbledon and will suffice for the present.".

The champion thinks running and sprinting are both good for training, but they should not be overdone. "Some players continually trot round a court or a field and imagine they aro winning the match in advance. only to wonder why they are so slow when they begin to play."
The champion's book is full of friendly, helpful hints both on what to do on the court as well as off it,
