SPORTS NOTES AND
COMMENTS.
[BY BROADCASTER."]
The racing over the week-end was productive of some very good sport, And one of the closest finishes seen for many a day was witnessed in the Lantao Handicap "C" Class, when Mount Elburz won from Campbell and Peter Guerney by short head. About fifty yards from home the supporters of all three candidates cheered wildly-a thing unheard of in the history of Hong Kong's racing-and when the ponies passed the winning post, many felt that a dead-heat between the three animals would be the verdict, but the judges managed to pick out the differedoes.

The Police again took their medicing from the Kowloon shipbuilders.

D. Walins ley, who had been a successful skip for the League winners last season, won by a shots, while, R. 5. Duncan's risk was also well to the

The root of the whole trouble is the craze for money; the love of thrills, and the hope that something un- expected will happen. Usually, American fight crowds are most ex-
citable.
Those who have acen the film ver- sion of the Sharkey-Scott affair at Miami will probably be surprised at the stiliness of the ringsiders, even when tension is at fever heat. The well-dressed crowd seem decid- edly bored with the whole show.
Which certainly suggests that they were not real fight fans any more than the curious-minded wo- men, who sit near the ring at Al- bert Hall and Olympia when a Car pentier or a Carnera is in action.
