The rain which fell continually In spasms In lie forenson and during to game made conditions unpleasant for the players in the hockey match between the Unlied Clubs and Macao at Macdo Inst Sunday. Nevertheless play was fast and exclling despite the slippery surface.

The U.H.C. played better hockey but failed to achlove victory beenuse luck was with the other side. With 30 seconds to go for the final whis

Don Bradman Over The Jumps

London.

The horse, Don Bradman, is much supported for the Grand National Steeplechase, for which there are 79 entries-19 more than in 1937.

The Empire News says: "He is going to be as much in the news as his Australian name- sake."

Unlike the cricketer, the horse does not possess great speed, but is a rare plodder and reliable jumper.

The Americans, who have never won at Aintree, have en- tered a plucky little winner of the American Grand National, Battleship.

V. II. D. Ramjahn DOUBLES TITLE

On paper there are only three pairs worth considering. They are S. A. and H. D. Rumjahn (holders), Tsui Wal-pul and Tsui Yan-pul (former champlona) and E. C. Fincher and W. C.-Hung,who-have-gone-very-close- to winning the title.

A study of the draw will reveal that while the Tsul brothers have a fairly easy passage to the final, the other two pairs will clash in the quarer-Anals of the top half.

The selection of Tsui Wai-pul to represent China in the Davis Cup Jast year prevented him and his bro- ther from defending the doubles titlo which they won from the Rumjohn cousins in 1930. But will they be able to repeat the performance this year? The Rumjahns are certainly not as formidable as of yore, but they have not yet lost their sting; they are still capable of lifting the trophy again. The task, however, la harder now because they have two stiff obstacles to overcome,
