BOOKMAKERS ARE HARD HIT By Cambridgeshire Result

Newmarket, Oct. 28. The bookmakers were very badly hit by the result of the Cambridge- ile andicap' run here to-day. It is stated they bind to pay out over £5,000,000 as Dan Bugter, the win- ner, with coupled by many in the autumn double with, Fel, the Cesare- witch winner.

The team generally was lethargic until after they had scored their first goal. Then they became irresistible and swept all before them.

It struck me that Miss P. Gitting, Miss F. Wong and Miss G. White have lost none of their old and bril- llant form, but I am sorry to hear that Miss Molly Churn intends to give up the game this season.

Mamak Dinner: Likely To Be Revived

It may come of interest to many to know that there is a talk of reviving the Mamak dinner this season. Owing to lack of support and because of financial difficulties the annual dinner has not taken place for the last two years.

Now, I am told, prospects of the dinger being put schedule are decidedly rosy, and with the present large, number of teams taking part there should be no lack of sup- port.

If the Army, Navy and Civi- lian teams participating in the competition rally round pro- perly the function is already

This was the first time the Volun-

alde and several well known players were on view.

Although the Volunteers had the better of the first half exchanges, the closing stages of the match were defultely in favour of the Army. who puinmelled away at a wearying defence which all but cracked up.

It was left to the stubbornness of Divett and Bates to keep the Army sttacks from materialising. The Volunteer intermediate line rather cracked up after the interval. Bel- trao was clearly feeling the effects of a strenuous football match the day before, and had the game continued another ten minutes the Army would assuredly have scored at least once.

STRONG OPPOSITION

It is whispered that Police Powers- That-Be are frowning on the idea of further participation in the Mamak | League, Which, if true, seems rather hard on the anembers who are then- selves anxious to take part. Police do not compete I shall not be surprised to find several of their players turning out for some of the Civilian teams at present In the tournament.

And this is quite understandable when one appreciates the keenness of these players.
