THE CHINA MAIE, AUGUST 6, 1940.

Several Interesting Inter-Club Galas Arranged For This Week

$. China Secures Wee Ghee-Hoe As Swimming Coach

By “Natator"

EVIDENCE OF THE growing popularity of friendly inter-club swimming contests may be found in the fact that another match in the form of a triangular tournament has been arranged between European "Y," Chung Shing and Eastern to take place at the European "Y" Pool on Saturday at 9.15 p.m.

This will be the first real test of Eastern's strength, and with the formidable array of swimmers they have recently gathered from the various clubs, they should be able to justify their claim to be class- ed with the stronger Chinese teams.
