This is only to be expected in view of the love- ly weather we have been having and the only drawback is that it gets dark fairly carly. Still, we ought to be thankful for what we have,

GIRAFFE'S OPPORTUNITY: GOLD KEY A CYNCH FOR SURREY HDC.

(By "Ringtai")

WHO'S WHO AND WHO MAY

1st Race Despite the fact that our crack jockey is un Gleneagles, I fancy Gay Crusader for this opening event, with Bag and Baggage a useful place bet.

2nd Race The Giraffe, with Leo Frost up, has a great chance of winning, and City of Melbourne is not out of the reckoning. Don't entirely forget Wolin.

3rd Race Gold Key appears a cinch for this event, with Valorous a good second,

4th Race Lunar Star, Don and Navy Hall are the pick for the Big Event, with Ajax worthy of consideration in case of accidents,

5th Race Almost impossible to forecast with any degree of confidence,

6th Race Flying Tourist for this event which will have 20 starters, and Helier Skelter, well you never know!

7th Race Pride of Txingino looks good here, and so

for that matter do Fortune Bay and Blue Star,

8th Race Cabinet Hall should, and in any case think the first three can be picked from my selection below.

INCLUSION OF RESERVES WOULD

IMPROVE THE SIDE

WITH the Interport team definitely selected and the

contests still in the future, it is of very little value to criticise the handywork of the Selection Committee, although personally I very much deprecate what appear to be, unless otherwise pro ved, singular sins of omission and commission in the composition of the eleven.

To-morrow's match may go a long way to either allaying or encouraging the fears that the selected side is by no means the best at the disposal of the selectors, but the trials have given very small hopes.

Frankly I feel that if the three reserves chosen were put into the team, Hongkong would walk on to the Canidrome ground and deliberately and definitely obliterate the Shanghai- landers.

RULING WHICH MUST

(By "Bully Off") NL [NLESS steps are taken in the near future to amend the rule relating to the time for the commencement of

matches in the Mamak Tournament I am afraid great difficulty will be ex- perienced by the committes in getting the fixtures completed by the end of March as is anticipated. The rulo in this respect is hard and fast and reads as follows: "The times for com. mencement of Tournament matches shall be not later than shown here. under-October, 4.30 p.m., November, 4.15 p.m., December, 4.00 p.m. January, 4.00 p.m., February, 4 p.m.; and March 4.30 p.m. This means that during the next two months teams must be ready to bully-off not
