WINS

A player, who, if she takes part is likely to have a big say tho the destination of ladies's 'singles tennis title of the Colony, figured prominently in a first round Colony Mixed Doubles Championship encoun- C. ter yesterday when G. Burnett and Miss Olive Dalziel beat Major L. E. B. Dowling and Mrs. Dowling 8-6, 5-7, 6-4. Mrs. Dowling gave a brilliant dis- play of tennis and all but won the match, olt her own racket. Unfor tunately Major Dowling could not strike form and was lamentably weak on the backhand.

RAKING FOREHAND DRIVE

fra. Dowling's chief naset is a drive raking forehand cross-court which compares favourably with the same fierce shots of Mrs. Kayll and Mrs. Wilson. She constantly "need" the opposition yesterday, especially when they came in on service. She also displayed a rellabio

huckhand,

and on such a showing ranks as one of the best indy players in the Colony.

Her game contains no real weak- ness, although she depends very Iargely on her powerful forehand to collect points,

Burnett played u well judged game and was wonderfully steady at the net from where he volleyed with dis- cornment and effect. His consistency paved the way for the success of the K.C.C. pair, who now remain the only representatives of the club in the clamptonship.

Miss Dalziel recovered after a nor vous start and supported sound ground strokes with some useful and timely interventions at the net.

Burnett and Miss Dalziel now meet the holders. Goldman and Miss R. Inncock in the second round...

It has been tentatively suggested that Honolulu, as being the most central apot, should stage auch Games, and this would ensure the meeting being carried through within three weeks.

NEW ZEALAND INVITATION

Mr. Gudsell took part in unofficial discussions with Japanese athletic officials recently and he is returning to New Zealand to lay the plan be fore the authorities there. Japan is most enthusiastic about the project, although it is generally recognised that nothing concrete can emerge until after the Berlin Games next year.

Mr. Gudsell also revealed that the New Zealand A.A.A. kas extended an Invitation to Japan and the Philippines to send track and fold and swimming

It is probable that the New South Wales and Queensland athletic authorities will also be prepared to assist in the scheme and will make provision for the teams to appear al Brisbane and Sydney en route to New Zealand.

The inclusion of baseball in the World Olymple programmes of the future is being agitated for by America and Japan, Raid Mr. Gudnell. America has succeeded in obtaining permission from the Berlin organisera of the 1036 Olympics to stage on exhibition of the game, and if Japan succeeds in getting the 1940 meeting allocated. to Tokyo, it is fairly certain that baseball will be uficially included as the game is so popular in Japan.
