HONGKONG HAS CHANCE OF WINNING INTERPORT

Leading Players Are Engaged In Tennis Championship To-day

BODIKER IN SINGLES

(By "Veritas")

Chief interest in to-day's tennis championship programme is the appearance of G. Bodiker, the well known German player, in the first round of the men's singles.

This, I believe, to the first time Bodlker has played in a Colony cham- pionship, and although there was a time when he was not regarded as a grass court player of any outstanding ability, his constant association with grass surface during the last twelve months has placed him in a différent entegory.

Bodikker mocta Frank Kwok, the C.R.C. left-hander this (weather permitting) and there is small room to doubt but that he will win in straight sets. In fact, on cur- rent form, Bodiker should experience Hittle difculty in reaching the semi- finni.

Swimmer's Big Promise

(By W. J. Howeroft)

Only those who know the training handicaps of Kenneth Deane, the Great Yarmouth schoolboy and the most promis- ing junior swimmer in England can really appreciate his merit.

Physically, he is ideal for swim- ming. He is just 15 years of age, oft. lin. In height, and weighs 13st. At the age of 10 he was taught to swim by Mr. W. Shreeve, of Great Yarmouth. Three years later he won four Norfolk championships in ex- ceptionally

MIDNIGHT TRAINING

The boy's father, Dr. K. H. Deane, writes. "His training methods in the summer depend in the race in view. For example, last year, Kenneth commenced to train for the National 440 yards championship when the bath opened in Norwich in May. He travelled to Norwich any evening he could manage it, and was allowed to swim after 10 p.m. when the bath was closed to the public. He usually swan 600 yards on the crawl stroke then, after a minute's rest, covered the same distance again, This was done after being at school all day, and home-work.

"When our local bath opened on June 21 these midnight expeditions densed. He
