R. Abbit Discusses The Interport And

Selects His Team For Shanghai

HAYWARD AS CAPTAIN Colony Bound To Be Up Against It

(By R. Abbit)

To write about Hongkong Cricket in the first few deys of September produces a curious feeling-rather like the one you get when the boy has called you an hour too early. However, the new arrangement of dates for the Shanghai match renders this inevitable. As to the expediency of this new arrangement I shall have more to say later on.

A Farewell to Tournament Tennis Clubhouse Chatter

It's a case of net loss-design's gala with Mrs. Helen Wills Moody, "Queen Helen I" of tennis, she announced in San Francisco that she would not play in the national matches at Forest Hills nor would she devote the time she has in the past to teants, playing only occasionally "for fun." And here she is at her designing table, which work is tak- ing her away from the sport she loves.
