Game Turns Ground Into

Soffa, Oct. 24. The little town of Sevlievo, In northern Bulgaria, had never known the excitement of a hotly contested football match until to-day. In view of the erratic nature of the Bulgarian people, it was expected the event would result in a display of temper, and the authorities wero prepared, but even so they quite under-estimated the pitch to which their country people could rise.

the surprising statement that Mlle. Suzanne Lenglen made to a woman respondent of the "Oeuvre.

"I am the enemy of sil specialisn- tion in sport," she explained. "The {* fntensive training and the strain of big matches are very trying. Tenula killa is greatest devolen.

The best way is to go in for any sports that amuse you, and only those in which you do not get tired out.

For the first time in ita history, the Club entered three teams in the League, with the "A”- team being successful in winning the First Division Shield.

They were, however, handicapped by constant changes, and it is to be hoped that they will meet with better success next season.. In the second diviston, our players were made up of quite a number who had only taken up bowls this year, and they made excellent progress as the season advanced, having won six out of the last eight games

played, nishing up eighth in the League Table.

From amongst our players, the following were selected to represent Hongkong in the Interport Games in Shanghal Messrs. R. Basa, II. Beer, A. E. Coates and U. M. Omar.
