Is Now Delayed

(By "Abe")

All arrangements for the Bowls Interport made by the Council of the Hongkong Lawn Bowls Association at its meeting last Friday, have been upset owing to the fact that the Shanghai players are”. unable to leave on the date intended.

Apparently a change of sailing was decided upon by the Shanghal L.D.A. ind the new arrangement was that the players would leave by the Tsinon on Saturday.

The Hongkong

omcials cabled

north to say that that date was too late and at the same time asking the Shanghai team to arrive here by October 11 at the latest.

Yesterday a reply was received to the effect that they emot leave which means before October 10, that the programme already arranged be to by the Council will have revised,

Soccer's first woman referee is on the way. Her name is Kathleen Gerrard; she has flaming red hair, and she's a showgirl in "Me And My Girl" at the Victoria Palace. Ever since she was knee high she's been interested in football.
