CHIEF FEATURES OF THE ST. LEGERS MEETING

BADMINTON

MORE MIXED DOUBLES

GAMES TO NIGHT

FOUR TEAMS MAKE CHANCES

KEEN MATCH ANTICIPATED AT THE CHINESE RECREATION CLUB

(By “Varlim"),

At least four teams are making changes for their engage- ments in the mixed doubles badminton league to-night. These include St. Andrew's, who will be without the services of E. F. Fincher, St. John's, who have yet to decide their third man play- or, the Fire Brigado, who will turn out minus N. M. Smith, and Recreio "B,"

The Fire Belgade, visitors to the Chinos, Recreation Club, are intro- ducing Anderson for Smith, and he will probably partner Miss Griffiths, with the other two pairs remaining A before, namely Mr. aml Mrs. Shute and A, JA Fisher and Mrs. Wild.

St. John's are not only confronted with a little problem in the eclection of this man, but have one change in the Indien, Mins Dowbiggin mak- ing way for Mrs. Barlow.

P..I Kwok and Miss Smith and Roland Koh and Mian McCaw, with play together as they did last week, ut Mrs.. Barlow's partner has not set been determined.

SL Andrew's will only miss this holy of Ernest Fincher, but have a useful substitute in Rt. H. Wong who will probably partner Mrs. Dawson,

The Recreio "" loan the services of L. A. Silva-unfortunately for good-which allows A. E. Xuvier to come into the team. He will part- nor Mian S. Remedios. Although they cannot afford to lose such a promising exponent as Silva, the Recreio can be expected to remain vory powerful and they should beat Talkoo fairly comfortably.

There is no doubt that the drizzle carly that morning had made the wicket a good deal easier and it was never as dif- ficult as it had bean on the Monday afternoon until about half an hour after tiffin on Tuesday, when the Shanghai collapse came.
