KOH'S FINE FEAT; IMPRESSIVE GRAPHICCOLE CALIENTE STILL

DEBUT OF M.P. YOONG

Hooi And Miss Khoo Play Well

BADMINTON OF THE very highest order was seen at Kowloon Cricket Club last night when a large programme was successfully disposed of.

Highlight of the evening was

the defeat of C. Au runner-up last year and who beat Henry Eardley

in the previous round in the cur- rent tournament, at the hands of his club-mate. F. Koh.

The latter played powerful badminton which

all-round forced Au into errofs, and was good value for his win. The senior doubles match be- tween the Yoongs, and Amplava-· nar and Cheah provided evidence of another possible threat to singles crown, If M. P. Yoong is; as good at the singles game as he is at doubles, he should provide a strong challenge for the title.

DEBATING REAL JOCKEY WINNER

Down at Caliente, in old Mexico, they're still thrashing out the 1940 jockey race, captured by Earl Dew with 287 winners, writes an American correspondent. Dew is a great favourite at the Tijuana track, and they resent the charge credited to his rival, Walter Lee Taylor, that the champion enjoy- ed an unfair advantage by riding in 10-race programmes south of the border.

Caliente sees no reason why its races shouldn't count, since they're conducted under authorisation of DISTANCE IMPACT the Jockey Club. of New York.

BY BEST BALL

The golfer who desires distance can follow no better procedure than hitting the ball straight in the back with a sweeping blow. This necos- sitates approaching the ball with the clubhead travell-

ing close to the ground and parallel with it prior to im- pact. Hit square to the line in this fashion the ball will travel a low trajectory and have a considerable roll left when it finally comes to earth. Cyril Tolley used to gain considerable distance by contacting the ball slightly on the upswing which added a forward roll to the ball. However, for the rank and file of players the straight in the back method affords a inore accurately struck ball. The luft of the club will make the ball rise.

For quick stopping shots, on the other hand, the player should hit down on the ball adding backspin. This reverse spin acts as El brake to the ball when it comes to earth, stopping the sphere within a comparatively short space of its landing spot.

Caliente also points out that while Dew was enjoying this "un- fair advantage,” he was riding only one day a week at Caliente In the late spring, while Taylor was racing six days in the east. Officials say the little Idowen rode in about 100 less races than Tay- lor, had a much higher percentage of winners.

He had a 15-year innings and it would have been longer had he not declared it closed through the rheumatism from which he was a chronic sufferer until miraculously cured by a mysterious recipe sent him by an unknown woman.

Later, the story of that cure crept into a broadcast by Bertie Lawton, famous old Derbyshire cricketer, with astonishing re- sults.

For days the B. B. C., Lawton, and Macaulay were bombarded with thousands of requests and It had in it something of even demands for the cure, Macartney's audacity, machine-accuracy on
