ATTRACTIVE SOCCER PROGRAMME FOR WEEK-END

SOUTH CHINA 'A' TO CLASH WITH NAVY TO-DAY

First Round Of Kotewall Cup- Competition Starts

Heavy Programme Of Matches Arranged For This Afternoon

(By "R. Abble"}

To-day's cricket represents a very full fixture list if all the games come off. In the First Division, naming the home team first, Kowloon Cricket Club play the Civil Service, I.R.C. play Craigengowor, the Navy take on Recreio, and the Army are at home to the Hongkong Cricket Club. In the other Division Civil Service play the University, the Central British School play Kowloon, Craigengower meet IRC, Recreio the Police, and the Hongkong Cricket Club play the Army.

PERRY DOES FOUR ROUNDS UNDER 70: AN AMAZING 64

BY HENRY COTTON

London, Sept. 22,

Thirty-four-year-old Alfred Perry, Open Champion in 1935, acored the most brilliant triumph of his career when he won the first prize of £200 in the Dunlop Metropolitan Tournament at Went- worth yesterday.

Improving in each round, he looked like finishing in the right sequence with 66, but went out of bounds at the seventeenth hole..

This is Ferry's third major tour- nament success of the year, for he won the Daily Mail and Yorkshire Evening News events...

Such low scoring is comparable with the News Chronicle tournament of last year, when the first three men each did three of the four round in the sixtles. Eddie Whitcombe, with 273-Perry's winning total yesterday -was then relegated into third place by his father, Ernest Whitcombe, who triumphed with 208 and Sam King, who did 270,

The popularity of a game of cricket starting at 11 or 11.20 on a Sunday morning is rapidly growing. The Volunteers are, this year, the great promoters and they are playing the Police Club at Happy Valley. They have on paper a very strong side and the Police will have to go all out to make a game of it.
