Tennis Notes.

Owing to unfavourable" weather, no matches have been played in the Tennis League for a long period. Many ties are thus in arrears, and fixtures have become very much dis- located. Unless the various Clubs concerned will seize opportunities to } play of their postponed matches, the season will be unduly prolong

In the "A" Division, however, owing to the comparatively small number of Clubs compering, the arrears in fixtures are not so potice able. In most cases Clubs have only a couple of tics to complete their fixtures, the outstanding ones of

OF COUNCIL,

A heated discussion took place yesterday when the Council of the Hong Kong Football Association

met

to consider correspondence about the playing of charity matches by affiliated and unaffiliated Clubs during the close season.

Mr. R. Hall presided at the meet- ing, and the correspondence which formed the subject of the debate was read by Mr. W. E. Hollands (Hou. Secretary). It appeared that the Society of St. Vincent de Paul had approached certain gentlemen for Assistance for their funds, and that a circular letter had been sent to eight Clubs asking whether they were willing to take part in a charity competition. It was aug- A good deal has been heard and gested that Mr. F. T.
