YESTERDAY'S WATER POLO.

CHINESE B WIN COMFORTABLY FROM

ROYAL NAVY.

KOWLOON "B" ACCOUNTS FOR CHINESE "A."

{BY "WATERMAN;"]

The Chiness "B" scored a decisive victory yesterday over the Royal Navy and finished up five goals to the good, the final score being 6-1 in their favour..

The Chinese "A" which put up such a good showing against the V.R.C. juniors last week, went under to the Kowloon "B," the latter winning by four goals to two.

The result of the second match supports my contention that the win last week over the V.B.C. "B" was due more to luck farou ing the Chinese team than to skillful plas. The V.B.C. "B" bad in a previous match accounted for Kowloon "B" by ten goals to.... ail!

ROYAL NAVY v. CHINESE "B," | KOWLOON “B” v. CHINESE

The Royal Navy delighted their supporters for a good part of the game and held the Chinese "B" at bay during the first half; but in the second half of the game, the Chinese had things pretty much their own way and finished winners by air goals to one.

17.30

The Chinese were faster in every department, and but for the lact that players from their side were ordered out frequently in the rst balf, might have put the issue be yond doubt before the interval. As it was they led by only goals to one at half time, but were distinctly superior in the second half, when they added four more.

#A."

After going down in their last two matches, the Kowloon "B" who are looked upon as wooden ponists in the league surprised everybody by beating the redoubtable Chinese "A," who only last week accounted for the V.R.C. juniors. The Kow- loon team finished up with 4 goals to 2 to their credit and on the run of the play deserved their success. The Chinese team appeared to lack confidence and although they were as good a side na Kowloon, their poor team work told against them. Passes went "wild" and many op portunities were lost by over anxiety to shoot.

The Teams.

Kowloon "B"-F. Angus, E Murphy, L. Lawson, Henry, Frost, Bliss and J. Murphy.

Chinese "A":-G. C. Chok, Ng Kain Chuen, Chui Kuen Wa, Wong Ching, Lam Yun Chung, Tam Chi Keung and Lam Iu.

The Game,

Getting the leather first Kowloon lost no time in testing the Chinese goalkeeper and although the latter played well, he was not able to re- sist the quick bombardment of Bliss, Murphy and Frost. The last named worried the Chinese backs a lot and

Leung Shia Man got the leather first and passed to one of his backs who lost no time in sending it back to Leung. The latter took a shot which went side. Chan Sze Lok

On resuming the Chinese again

The second ball was very lively pressed the Navy but for a second indeed and to my mind was the best time Leung Shin Man was ordered exhibition of play in the present out of the bath, the offence being water polo series. The Chinese waiting in the prohibited area." (still playing six men to seven) The sailors took advantage of this pressed and shot, but failed to score. and Lake put them level again with At the other end Bliss tried hard, a hard forehand throw at close but could not pass the backs. The range, which beat the Chinese cus Kowloon goal was next attacked but todian all the way.

Henry came to the rescue and pass- Resuming the Chinese again pressed to Murphy who gave Kuvioon a cd and did their utmost to establish lead of 9-1. a lead before the interval. Tan

ENGLAND'S TEST

TEAM

SOME FRESH FACES.

{THROUGH REUTER'S AGINDY.]

LONDON, Aug. 12. England's team for the Fifth Test Match which opens at the Oval on Saturday has been selected as

Sutcliffe (Yorkshire).

Hammond... (Gloucester), Woolley (Kent),'

Leyland (Yorkshire),

Amer (Kent),"

Tate (Sussex), Freeman (Kent), Clark (Northanta). O'Connor, the Emax alkrounder, has been selected as twelfth man.. There are we changes from the eleven which won the Fourth Test, Hobbs replacing Bowley, Hammond coming in for Hendren, "Ames for Duckworth, Clark for Barratt, and Tate for Geary. Both Tate, and Hammond would have played in the previous match but for injuries.

Clark, the Northants fast bowler, according to oritics, would have been given a bancs before, ex- cept for his inconsistency. This fault he appears to have eradicated this reason, when be as bad some excellent bowling feats to "his credit.

·

Ames is, of course; a much bet ter bat than Duckworth, and well deserves his 'bonour.

As the Teat Rubber has already been decided, the final match will be limited to three days' play, com- mencing at 11.30 am, and ending at 6.30 p.m. on the first day and from 11 am to 6.30 p.m. on the last two days.

HINTS TO SWIMMERS

[BX JABEZ WOLFFE.] The famous Channel Swimmer).

Now that the swimming season is upon us. I would like to give a few. hints to keen swimmers, and also to my something to encourage those who are dry-bobs to acquire this healthy, joyous and useful art.

I once naked a well-known doctor what form of exercise used every single muscle of the body. I knew the answer. But I wished to see whether he did. Without a mo ment's hesitation he said Swim- ming.

One of the greatest mistakes made during the early days of the swim- ming season is over-doing things. After long and unless winter wen ther the muscles tend to be fab- by; the heart is apt to behave er- ractically when subjected to undue strain. Moreover, the circulation is not functioning as it will be by, asy, Angust.

For these reasons, the wise sports- man or sportswoman will see the first bathes are very short. Five minutes is ample for the first few dips, even less may be advisable.

People sometimes tell me they experience a very unpleasant acnsa- tion of breathlessness on diving in- to cold water in early summer. This can be avoided by standing for a few moments under a shower, allowing the water at first warm, to become fairly chilly. After that, the sensation of the first dive is ex quisite, making the whole system respond as by magic.

Keep moving in the water; don't come out and loaf: And don't wait for blue finger-tips or shiverL

After the Dip.

After a bathe I recommend a vigorous towelling. A rough towel is ideal. Then dress very quickly, chd do not smoke. The first bathe, however discreetly taken, has given the heart a little extra work to do. Do not add to this by puffing cigarette immediately afterwards,

A rapid walk should follow. This form of excercise, one of the beat, by the way, for the man training for long-distance swimming, brings tack the bodily heat lost in the vater..

It has always been a mystery to me that we have allowed swimming to become. the Cinderella of the sports. There are still schools that award prizes for every sport, ex- copt swimming.

The man of girl who learns to swim early acquires a physique that remains for life. I have known fine swimmers who had to give it up on account of wounds or acci dents. In every case the chest de- velopment remained what awinning had made it.

Look at any great swimmer. He is never covered with knobbly mus: elea, he is always lithe, supple, well- proportioned. Watch him walk, and note the elasticity of his step. That is what swimming does.

Most schools now (at long last) are making swimming compulsory. That is all to the good. But it is not enough. It may happen in the life of any one of us to be sudden- ly faced with the problem of a.

But here is the rub. However well man may swim, it will not avail him if he has no idea how to tackle s frenzied drowning person, who is abnormally strong.

Unnecessary Tragedies. So I say: Learn to swim, then learn the technique of life-saving.. Personally I like to sec. not only swimming, but instruction in life- saving made compulsory at all schools
