Two Divisions For "B" Class China Ponies

A good programme has been framed by the Stewards for the extra race meeting to be held at Happy Valley on September 24. The resumption of our popular fortnightly race meetings will be China ponies following the demotion of several "A" class runners marked by the introduction of two divisions in the "B" class for during the recess. This innovation means another forward move in the interest of racing owners and the public, and it will, no doubt be much appreciated by all concerned.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT Darkness Nearly Saves Match For The Losers

By "Abo"

Had C. K. Chan supplied Szeto Bick with the necessary support, it is conceivable that Taui Wai-pui and Taui Yun-pui, holders of Colony grass court doubles championship and now favourites for the hardcourt doubles title, would have been eliminated from the. current tennis tournament at the United Services R.

ENTERTAINING GAME

In spite of Chan's weaknesses, the game was perhaps the most enter- taining played in the doubles cham- pionship in the present tournament. There were

When he did not make the bali drop at the incoming server's feet, he deftly threw up a lob which more often than not was of sufficient length to force his opponents to scurry back. Against him, the Tsuis seldom came off best in the
