BADMINTON DRAW; HUI NOT ENTERED

The draw for the 1939-40 Hong Kong badminton championships Was made last evening by the specially appointed sub-committee of the Bad- minton Association.

It was found that entries were excellent, being 43 as compared with 2 last year. Twelve are taking part in the men's sen lor singles as against 10 last season; 11 in the junior singles as compared with 13: 13 in the men's doubles as compared with 11, and nine in the mixed doubles, as com- pared with "eight,

la provided that entries must total 10 in or der for a championship event to be ranged.

Prominent absentee from this year's championships is P. K. Hul, who last year won three events. However, the presence of Henry Eardley, former Shanghai champion, and the return of P. H. Wong, former Colony champion, makes the competition one of the most interesting since its inception.

In three events players have been seed- ed. In the senior singles C. Au, last year's runner-up, H. Eardley, P. H. Wong, and K.

Sheehan has played exceptionally. Yong have been "sceded." In the men's doubles, the favoured pairs are M. S. Lim and P. S. Bun, last year's runners-up. C..
