EXTRAORDINARY BASKETBALL VICTORY FOR CHINA

RECORDS went by the board in heats of the swimming and track and field events for the Far Eastern Olympic championships yesterday. It was a day of outstanding achievement, and China's representatives also played a notablo part.

THE final of the women's 200 metres breast

stroke saw China take the first three places. Actually they captured the first four, but Miss Yeung Sau-king was disqualified after finishing first.

Hongkong's premier lady swimmer was again to fore in the women's 50 metre free style, winning from the Philippines representative. She also played a leading part in the success of China in the women's relay race, when the Philippines were beaten for first place.

JAPANESE ATHLETES STARTLE OLYMPICS

MANAGEMENT WITH DISCOVERY

Manila, May 14,

A new difficulty was added to the harassed management of. the Far Eastern Olympic Games yesterday. It appears that the management of the Japanese delegation was not quite satisfied they mobilized the surveyors and tape-line artists and after an with the so-called standards of the track at Rizal Field. So extensive, although quiet investigation, they confronted the mangement with the startling revelation that the running track was not of official size. Their survoys revealed that the cinder path, in its quarter of a mile distance fell short of the actual measurement by exactly eight millimetres. Tiasis! Tisik!! Tiosikk!!!

the Japanese evidently felt that since races are said to be won Eight millimetres is slightly over a quarter of an inch and by a nose, a quarter of an inch on the end of a nose might be serious, And one can of course imagine the chagrin of a marathon runner or 5,000 metre artist at being nosed out by 7 millimetres when that additional width of a cotton string might mean victory.

The protest was promptly made and the Japanese delegation that the tape at the finishing line would be at least that thick threatened to withdraw. After assurances from the management and that stop watches would be corrected to the thousandth part participate, but not without dire misgivings as to the authenticity of a second the Nipponese delegation eventually decided to of the world's records which they expect to establish. Eight millimetres are, after all, eight millimetres.
