Inability of the Chinese teams to absent themselves from their re- spective leagues, which are said to reach their climax during the month of December, is the prin- cipal reason for the denial of the teams to come here, It is said, Efforts to bring a team from some other point of the Orient will be started immediately it was hinted.

London, Nov. 28. The British Olympie Council, at a meeting held in London to-day, decided not to allow the matter of the disagreement on the broken- time payment question to affect British participation in the Amster- dam Games next year.-Renter.

Any boxing tournament that'

The R.A.F. is the youngest arin of the Services, but already It is creating sporting records that will be very difficult to overtake.
