Miss V. Thirwell and Wilfrid Lawrence Acored triumphs in Colony individual swimming championships at the V.R.C. yesterday, the former winning the Indies 100 yards free-style with six seconds to spare, and Lawrence beating Lionci Roza-Pereira by 17 seconds in the 880 yards free-style.

TO PLAY UNOFFICIAL MATCHES

IN OCTOBER

Hongkong's disappointment in the decision of the Shanghai L.T.A. not to send an Interport tennis team down here next month is apparently shared by several Shanghai players. This week the Hongkong L.T.A. received П letter from the Shanghai Country Club sug.. gesting that as an official Inter- port was out of the question, several members of that club would like to make a holiday trip to Hongkong next month and that a series of unofficial matches with Colony players might be arranged.

Messrs. J. 11. Du Pae de Mar soutes, d. C. Ferber and T. G. FIR gis have been named as the amen players who would be coming down, white the probable fady players' nee J. E. Moir, Mrs. Reader- Mrs. Harris, Mrs. Burton and Miss Marsey.
