From F. J. C. Pignon

Hoylake, May 23.

This was youth's proud day at the amateur champion- ship meeting, here on the Royal Liverpool Club's sun- bathed links. Two 19-years-old players, James Bruen, of Cork, and Tom Hiley, of Southport, and Kenneth Thom, 17-years-old Essex boy champion, stole most of the ad- miration of the big crowd for their amazing feats of golfing skill.

Manila, June 15.

The move of local athletic officials to boost football here is now definitely taking shape. Philippine Amatour Athletic Federation officials have contacted with Secretary Rous of the British Football Association for the purpose of hiring an experienced English professional football coach. According to arrangements, the English coach may arrive here in September.

The imported English professional football coach will help organize leagues, demonstrate, officiate and Kenerally help improve playing technique in the islands. A year's contrart is being offered by the PAAF to the right party.

Applications from football couches froin Austria, Germany and from other European countries have been received in Manlia, but the PAAF refers on English coach, PAAF om- cials point out that an English conch will be easily understood here.
