"Determined To Leave Leeds'

PERCY ALLISS RESIGNS

"Insufficient Support From Members".

LACK OF PRACTICE

(By AIR MAIL)

London, September 24. Percy Alliss, the Ryder Cup golfer, after nearly three years as professional at Templenewsam, Leeds, tendered his resignation to the Corporation Parks Com mittee, who appointed him in February 1936.

The Committee will meet next week to consider the matter.

Alliss told a reporter that he 'is determined to leave Leeds, and his wife indicated that he may endeavour to return to the South of England.

"I want Percy to get away from Leeds as soon as possible," said Mrs. Alliss. "We have been mar- ried seventeen years, and I have never been so unhappy. It was a mistake for him to come here, and the sooner he gets another post, preferably in the South, the better." STATEMENT

Lionel Roza-Pereira is seen above recording his second consecutive success in the annual Cross- Harbour swim organised by the Victoria Recreation Club, which was held last Thursday afternoon, starting at Railway Pier, Kowloon, and 'terminating at the sea-wall just off the V.R.C. Clubhouse. The winner's time was 31 mins. 47 6-10 secs.

Alliss, before leaving Leeds on Saturday for London, where he is to play in the Dunlop-Metropolitan tournament at Wentworth this FÅ EVITAL week, said:

"I have felt for some time that' matters have been far from satis- factory.

"I have been quite happy with my fellow professionals in Yorkshire, but I feel that I have had insuffi- cient support from the Templenew- sam Club members. Nowadays I get little golf on my home course. I have had only two or three matches at Templenewsam this year, and

"Quite frankly, the members do not appear to take enough interest in their professional, and I feel I must look for something else."

at was professional Beaconsfield. Previously he was en- gaged for some years at Wannsee, Berlin, and won the German cham- pionship several times.

Alliss, who eighteen months ago was understood to be one of the applicants for a vacancy at Sun-1 ningdale, has had an unfortunate year. By an oversight he omitted to enter for the British Open Cham] pionship, and recently, on his own course, he failed to qualify for the "News of the World" £1250 tourna ment, which he won last year.

A. PERRY'S 273 FOR 72. HOLES

(By AIR MAIL)

London, September* 24. LFRED PERRY (Leatherhead), the 1935 British Open Cham- pion, completed a season of triumph at -Wentworth (Surrey) yesterday by winning the Dunlop-Metropolitan £750 professional tournament with a total of 273 for 72 holes. Giving, the most remarkable low scoring display of the year, Perry had rounds of 69, 68, 67, and 69, to win by no fewer than six strokes from Henry.. Cotton.

Only once was Perry's victory in any doubt. That was when Cotton, playing in his most confident mood, handed in a third round card of 64 to beat the West Course record by 2 strokes, and to challenge Perry when the overnight leader had appeared certain to outstrip all his pursuers.
