FAMOUS PROFESSIONAL DIVERS TO VISIT HONGKONG NEXT MONTH

May Demonstrate At The V. R. C.

MARIAN MANSFIELD AND PETE DESJARDINS

(By "Abe")

If terms are agreed upon, two of the most famous professional divers in the world may be seen in action in Hongkong early next month. At the moment nothing has yet been fixed, but as the two stars will be passing through the Colony every effort will be made to get them to give an exhibition in one of the local awimming pools.

Competition Finals

The two divers coming this way are Pete Desjardins, a former Olym- ple champion, and Miss Marlan Mansfield, often called the "world's most beautiful diver." Desjardins was the winner of the diving cham- pionship at the Amsterdam Olym- pica, and Miss Mansfield, who is Co-ed of North-Western University at Chicago, was a member of the last American Olympic diving team and winner of both the low and high board diving championships of the Central Amateur Athletic Union of America last year, before she turned professional.

£2,000 GOLF: A

NEW SCHEME "Daily Mail" Gate for Special Fund

By F, J. C. Pignon,

London, Nov. 11.

A schema 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.

COLONY DOES WELL IN INTER-COLONIAL SMALL-BORE MATCH

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 R.A. by Air Mail. The fact that Hongkong took ninth place out of seventeen teams came as a 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.
