By "ARGONAUT"

South China Athletic Association annexed their third League title for the 1953 tennis season when they defeated Chinese Recreation Club by seven sets to two in the Men's Senior Division play-off at the HKCC courts yesterday.

The match was more than a well-earned victory for the winners, for every one of the Colony's greatest collection of top-ras.king net stars participated in one match.

All of them played tennis on it should be played without any visible evidence of over-tenston or over-emphasis un winning. The result was a grand nou) the best in years in the stand- ard of

D. A. G. Pirie, Britain's wonder runner, third man in the 4 x 1,500 metres relay match against Sweden and Germany, hands over the baton to the last man, G. W. Nankeville.

The British team won the race and set up a new world record of 15 mins. 27.2 secs. When third man Piria received the baton he was six yards behind, but he made up the lost ground, and when handing over to the fourth man, Nankeville, he was five yards ahead of his nearest opponent.

The success was achieved without two star runners, Coger Bannister and Chris, Chataway-Express Photo,

The Walker Cup Trip

Was Well Worth It

Says HENRY LONGHURST

All but one of the small band of Walker Cup golfers who braved the heat and hospitality of Oklahoma City-the latter, as it turned out, the hotter of the two will now have found their way home, and another American trip will be över.

On the whole, I should rate it among the most successful of its kind. To win one foursome and two singles, which I have always regarded as par for a visiting Walker or Ryder Cup team, is an achievement which has only once excelled, and that many years ago.

Bradshaw Leads Dunlop Masters' Tournament

Sunningdale, Berkshire, Oct. 7.
