SOUTH CHINA A.A. TO ORGANISE ATHLETIC MEET

RACES OPEN TO ALL SECTIONS OF COMMUNITY

A SPLENDID PROGRAMME OF TRACK AND FIELD EVENTS ARRANGED

(By "Abe")

One of the most common complaints amongst

·local sportsmen is that athletics have received so The University, little attention in the Colony.

the Volunteers, the Hongkong Aroa and various clubs in Hongkong hold annual sports meetings, but during the last ten years or so, no meetings *have been organised which have been open to all

sections of the community.

Time was when the Victoria Recreation Club held annual athletic meets, which were always very popular. But since the V.R.C. stopped organising these meetings, no other body has come forward to continue the good work.

This is a position which is to be equipment, but the ground is cer- deplored. There should be a central tainly big enough.

Lt. Manners Hits Five Fours And A Six In An Over From Longfield H.K.C.C. Badly Thrashed By Royal Navy On Saturday

There was an excellent game on the Club ground last Satur- day between a weakish Club side and the Navy, and the Club got one of the most conclusive beatings that they have had for a long time, thanks very largely to some bad batting on their part and some very good cricket by Manners who made a most delightful century.
