PROPOSED RUNNING OF....... British Marathon In Mid-Summer Has Led To Sharp Criticism

London, Mar. 6.

The proposed running of this year's British Marathon in mid-summer has led to some sharp criticism of the Amateur Athletics Association.

The Association has fixed July 28 as the date of the Marathon, and as usual it is to start in mid-afternoon when it is the hottest part of the year, the hottest part of the day, making it a distinct possibility that the race will be run in conditions similar to last July's Marathon, when a heat wave struck six of the runners and they had to be taken to hospital. Of the 63 starters, only 16 finished the course.

There have been many other pointers to the inadvisability of

Playing inspired ball behind the masterful fastballing of their ace hurler Lin Fong-tsu, the visiting Ching Tsui Girls' softball team from Taiwan neatly whitewashed our local Combined Chinese nine with a 13-0 count.

Before a capacity crowd that packed the stands and filled the hillsides at King's Park, hurler Lin Fong-tau of Taiwan turned in a brilliant two-hit Job while claiming seven victims at the plate via the strikeout route to garner a 13-0 triumph over our local belles in their touring debut.
