ALL THE

Malayan Badminton Champion To Play In England And Europe

Details Of Samuel's Tour

More badmintón history will be created when the French liner "Chenenceaux" leaves. Singapore on Oct. 11 next. She will have on board the idol of badminton fans,, in Malaya, A. S. Samuel, writes the Malaya Tribune correspondent.

Credit must be given to Mr. John L. Woods, president of the Badminton Association of Malaya, whose untiring efforts have made It possible for Samuel to make the trip. Mr. Woods is still in cor- respondence with Sir George A. Thomas, president of the Interaz. tional Badminton Federation, and Mr. D. H. L. Mercer, Secretary of the Badminton Association of England, with a view to analising ar- rangements for the Malayan champion to play in several important tournaments.
