Permit Hongkong To Stage Regional Contests

The need for a modern pool which will do credit to Hongkong and provide good facilities for the holding not only of interport but also of regional contests was em- phasised by the Hon. Sir Arthur Morse, President of the Victoria Recreation Club, in his Presidential address at the annual General Meeting of the Club yesterday.

"No doubt you will expect me to make a statement regarding the future of Robinson last Novem-thio Clab"Sir-Arthur-said. "At this stage I have very little information to disclose beyond the fact that the matter of new premises has engaged the close attention of your Committee.

ber: "Turpin hit me harder. He would have

a chance against Ray, but not much."

Well at least Tur- pin's punching should allay doubts about his hands. After the fight Turpin's manager, George Middleton, said: "Turpin's hands are all right. He is fit and looking forward to meeting American Billy Brown."

AIRTIGHT FIELDING AND RARE FORM

FROM THE PITCHERS KEEP THE SLUGGERS IN

By "GRANDSTAND”

CHECK

With every one of the four finalists in the current Senior Softball Playoff Series dishing out airtight fielding, the hit production has fallen off, and not in a single game of the crucial series has the total number of hits reached double figures.

In spite of this, however, fans have not been disappointed, for every tussle has provided them with the full quota of excitement with close finishes, and the record shows that several games had to be stretched into extra innings before the issue was decided on a one-run margin.
