NO SWIMMING INTERPORT

As might have been expected. the Swimming Interport between Hongkong and Shanghai has been postponed in view of the present International situation.

The passages of the Hongkong team on the Wingsang, which is due to sall to-morrow, have been cancelled.

This is the second,ilme since 1937 that a Hongkong swimming team has cancelled its passage to Shanghai at the last moment. In that year, the Interport had to be called off owing to the trouble up in the north,
