The Y.M.C.A. showed somo- thing approaching that team work desirable in order to win games when they mot and do- feated St. Andrew's in the Cacr Cap hockey competition last week, The "y" won by four goals to two and were fall value for the achievement.

Birs. Real, although arriving some minutes after the game had started, played well enough to score two goals, While Miss Olive Dalziel and Miss Adey shared the winners' other goals.

Mrs. Read was in her happlest with re- mood and led, the attack freshing ability and enterprise. Mix Thompson was a tower of strength At contro-half and Miss Weller several times effected brilliant saves in goal,

The Y.M.C.A. attack showed rare understanding and adapted themselves to the peculiarities of the Police Training School ground much better than their opponents.

That the Kowloon Cricket Club beat the Civil Service on Saturday last was not surprising for they have a very strong batting side especially against bowling that is not of the highest grade; but for all that the Givil Service were not completely seen off.

AMERICA'S

CUP CHALLENGE

DISPUTE OVER BOATS

WHY "K" CLASS WAS CHOSEN

NEW YORK Y.C. REFUSAL

Events leading to the issue and subsequent withdrawal of British challenge for the America's Cup are revealed in correspondence published r cently.

·

The Royal London Yacht Club, through their secretary, Mr. G. H. L. Watson, issued the challenge by radiogram on August 19 for a match to be sailed in 1936 or 1937 "between yachts of approximately mini- mum rating permissible under the deed of gift."

On September 1, the New York Yacht Club were informed that the owner of tire challenger was Mr. S. R. Fairey, commodore of the Royal London Yacht Club. "The challenger will be named the Windflower," it was stated. "Her rating under the New York. Yacht Club rules will be 65 feet, and her rig, sloop."

NEW YORK REPLIES

The secretary of the New York Yacht Club replied on October 15 as follows:

The Committee appointed by the New York Yacht Club to conalder the challeng of the Hoyal London Yacht Club for a match for the America's Cup deelrem, before taking action thereon, to submit the following mai- ter for your ennalderatfon.

"The challenge contained in your cable of August 19 is for a match between zachta of approximately minimum rating permiss sible under the deed at gif," while your letter of September 1 confirming the chal- senge gives the rating of the challenger under the N.Y.Y.C Rule as 16 feet. Under that rule auch yacht would rate in our K. Class and would presumably have a water line length of approximately 26 feet.

The two last contexts for the America's Cup have been between Jachte of pur Cluse, which approximates in water ne length the maximum permitted by the deed of gift, and as a result of these contesta we have three bosta of that sings which" - rkeed actively in 1994, while in Great Britain Pols have no three boats built to Ciaka 3 which raced in 2055. and we understand that another has already been ordered.
