GOLF NOTES.

[BY R.HH.]

At the annual meeting of the Royal Hong Kong Golf Club yes. terday evening, Mr. L. S. Green- hill was elected Captain of the Club for the next year. The debb of gratitude which everyone who to M:. plays over Fanling owes. Greenhill is, I believe, incalculable and one can only regret that Mr. Greenhill himself does not take greater advantage of his OWD labours. By electing him Captain for the ensuing year the Club has very fittingly shown that his work as an extramely expert member of the Greens Committee has got passed unnoticed..

The tragedy of the Championship is certainly the accident to Marton, which forced him to scratch in the semifinal. Five minutes before the end of 征

It is terribly bad luck for him, for he had an excellent chance of winning. Unless some thing very unusual had happened he was practically, certain to have beaten Hollis in the semifinal and with Shewan already, out of the Championship, the odds would have been on Marton in the Banl. course there would have been no

Extra Ground,

Hendren's spirited innings of 14 came to an end after he had been at the wickets for three minutes over the two hours, when he put a ball from Blackie into Richard- son's bands at silly mid-on. The Middlesex man had hit eight fours. The score stood at 983 for four.. wickets. A P. F. Chapman then joined Hammond and they took the score to 397 (Hammond 180, Chap man 17) when the game stopped for the tea interval. When the! score board was at 341 Chapman was caught by Ryder, Blackie again being the bowler, for 20.

Hammond's score

was 188, the second highest score ever made by an English player in an Australian Test Match and beating Hobbs' score of 187 at Adelaide in 1912.
