First Details

(By Our Special Representative)

Definite proposals for remov. ing the Kowloon Golf Club from its present headquarters to new ground in the vicinity of Hebe Hill have been approved in principle by both the Club and the Hongkong Government.

It is believed that the military au- thorities will raise no objections to the proposed move, and will allow members of the Golf Club to use the new military read over CustomS Pi53.

Government, it is understood, may partly finance the removal of the club from the Army Range, but the Club will probably be required to re-crect Its own Club House,

Matheson boxed like a master lo overcome his opponent. Frimston was a decided favourite at the start but before the end of the first round Matheson the issue was not so sure. displayed perfect defence which nul- 1ified any attack. Try as he did, Frimstun could not reach the vital point.

The second round was a repetition of the first. Noled for his ability for winning fights in this round, Frimston exerted himself and strained every muscle for a telling blow. It could not pass a defence which was like "Gibraltar.'
