ROY MCKELVIE Says
THE ONLY BEST AMATEUR KRAMER EVER BOUGHT UP
WAS FRANK SEDGMAN
You can usually tell when the Australian lawn tennis season begins. A battery of commentators give the pot a good stir. Frank Sedgman is the first this year.
He says that umiteur temis lucks a hero, and that world tennia has declined since he and Ken McGregor turned professional.

TODAY'S RUGGER
CLUB VERSUS RAF SHOULD
BE A VERY CLOSE
GAME THIS AFTERNOON
Bv "PAK LO"
The main interest for rugger fans will be over in Kowloon this after- noon where three games will take place. In the Pentangular Tournament the Club finally meet the RAF, at 3.00 p.m., on the Police Recreation Ground at Boundary Street, followed at 4.15 p.m. by the Police versus the Navy. On the Army ground at Boundary Street there is a game arranged for 2.30 pm. between the Army and the Gunners.
In the first game, ie, the Army versus Gunners game, the Army have made quite a few changes in their forward line. The whole of the front row has been altered with Waghorn as the new hooker, and Crothall and Booth on either side of him.
