This should be an extremely close match and the outcome wil¦ be somewhat influenced by the Contes form that

may gain during the Empire Gaines.

Landolt a showing some of his best form this scuson and is at present one of the few bow- Ters who are still in all the four events of the Colony Championships.

He is, in my opilan, the strongest

candidate for the Singlese this year.

THE DRAW

OPEN TRIPLED

Hunday, August 1

ARMY SPO PARADI

From time to time one comes астоев a story of genuine sportsmanship where somebody makes 1 real sacrifice to participate in his favourite sport. It is a pleasure to tell such a story at the top of the Sports Parade this week because it is not only a tale of personal sacrifice but also of outstanding achievement.

Welcome then to Captain E. J. Deeble of the Welch Regiment on his successes in the FARELF Golf Tourna- ment. Capt. Deeble brought back two cups from Singa- pore: the first of these was for his victory in the FARELF Handicap and the second was for his well won second place in the FARELF Bogey.
