Programme Altered For

Tennis Visitors

Owing to the fact that the Em- press of Japan will not be in port until 7 am, on Saturday, It has been found necessary to amend the pro- gramme of the Shanghai Country Club tennis team during their un- officini visit to the Colony this week,

It was originally decided that the visitors should engage a representa- tive Hongkong team at the Chinese R. C. on Friday and Saturday, and a representative Kowloon team at the Kowloon C. C. on Sunday and Monday. This

arrangement has

been lightly altered. The visitorii will now play Hongkong on Satur- day and Tuesday, and Kowloon on Sunday and Monday, according to the original arrangement.

The subscription dinner arranged in honour of the visitors will take place on Thursday, October 15, at 8 p.m.

WRESTLING MATCH

Chinese And Indian To Meet At Canton

A match has been arranged for this evening by the Canton Y. M. C. A. in which Wong Bock-cheung, victor in his contest with Young "Aguinaldo," will wrealle 215-pound Mehar Singh, an accomplished Pun- jab wrestler, under American rules. Jaghet

Singh, 250-pound wrestler who drow with Jim Londos, will act as referee and possibly challenge the winner for a bout in the near future. Prices will be set at $2 for reserved ring-side seats, $1 for unreserved | ring-side seats, and 60 cents for standing room in the balcony.
