Changes Made In Open Golf Championship

Reward In Qualifying Round An Incentive For Competitors

London, Apr. 2,

The Royal and Ancient Club has made two interesting changes in the conditions for the Open championship, at St. Andrews, in the week boginning July 3. One is the award of a money prize of £20 to the player returning the best score in the two qualifying rounds. The prize will act as an incentive for the competitors to play their best in what hitherto has been a dull and lifeless affair.

MANILA DESERVED THEIR WIN

....

So Says Mr. Omar, The Referee

(By' "Abe")

That Manila fully deserved their 3-1 victory in the Interport soccer match on Sunday night against Hongkong is confirmd in a letter received this morning from Mr. R. M. Omar, Chairman of the Hongkong Football Re- ferees' Association, who refereed the match.

Mr. Omar states that Lee Wal- long, the Hongicong captain on whom so much of Hongkong's hapes were placed, hurt a thigh muscle right at The beginning of the game when the visitors also missed an easy goal.

After this Lee was a passenger, and the Hongkong forwards become disorganised.

"Manila played very good football and fully deserved to win," says Mr. Omar.
