CHAMPIONSHIP OPEN AGAIN

(By "Birdio")

THE SPONTANEOUS response of the Hong- kong public to the War Fund, opened by this newspaper and the South China Morning Post is wonderful, and in its generosity it brings to my mind the succoss that Henry Cotton and his fellow professionals are experiencing in similar directions at Home. At the time of writing, the local Fund is over $100,000 (it is only a day and : half old) and in England, Cotton's exhibition matches on behalf of the British Red Cross Fund has reached £14,000 ($224,000).
