NEW SCHEME

By F. J. C. Pignon

London, Nov. 11,

A scheme to solve one of the greatest difficulties of profes sional international golf matches is to be inaugurated at the Daily Mail £2,000 tournament next year.

The tournament is financed entirely by "Daily Mail,” and the Professional Golfers' Association receive the gate-money at the finals, devoting it to the Benevolent Fund of the association. Next year the gate-money will help to form an International Match Fund.

FARR LAUGHS AT DOYLE "Irishman After Publicity"

There have been occasions when the P.G.A has found difficulty in raising the £2,000 required to Anance the British Ryder Cup team when the match has been played in America, while players in some of

home internatlonnis do'not even receive expenses, because there no fund from which these can be is inet.

Even for the Britain-United States match It has sometimes been neces- sary to go round with the hat and seck private subscriptions. An in- ternational fund will relieve British professional golf of this indignity, and the gate money at the Daily Mail tournament will form the nucleus of such a fund.

Islington Corinthians & Their Tour

Ambassadors Of Britain

When allogion - Corinthians pat up their suggestion of an eight- months footballing tour of the world, P. A. officials were definitely against it

.The. Corinthians had the greatest difficulty in getting their 19 players together. They found that players who had accepted their invitation to travel were coming with excuses two or three days afterwards, drawing oul,

It was found that these players had been gol at by all sorts of officials. Pistols were held nt their heads, writes John Macadam in the Sunday Dispatch of November 28,

“We were very conscious of the un- friendly atmosphere when we attend- ed a commission of the F. A.," said Leslie Venner, a member of the Islington Corinthians committee, to ine, but we were determined. We managed together £0,000 omong friends and well-wishers of the club In North London. Tom Smith, secre- tary of the club, Harry Low, the trainer, and 19 players went off at the beginning of October. When they return in the middle of May, having played football all round the world, they will have have had an eight-months experience that they could not have bought."

India now. They should have gone to Shanghal, but since that is now impossible, they will play in Hongkong and Yokohama; then to Honolulu, California, and back acrosa the States.

Islington Corinthians were founded five years ago with the idea of pro- viding first-class amateur football on Thursdays for those people, like shopkeepers, who could not see foot- ball on Saturdays Headquarters were at Tufnell Park, but expenses were so heavy that they had to go out on Continental tours to get a bit of money together.

After the Olymple Games, they na- brought the Chinese team to Lon- don, and it was the experience of these Chinese that gave them the Idea of their own world tour.

COLONY DOES WELL IN INTER-COLONIAL SMALL-BORE MATCH

20

The results of the Inter-Colonial Small-Bore Match have, by the courtesy of Commander Sir Lionel Fletcher, C.B.E., R.N.R., been forwarded to the Hongkong RA, by Air Mail: The fact that Hongkong took ninth place out of seventeen teams came pleasant surprise, for the conditions of shooting required that this should take place before October 31, and as the small-bore section of the Rifle Association only came into being a few days before that date, it was only possible to get together a scratch team, the members of which had had no opportunity to practise, and moreover no match rifles at their disposal.
