V.R.C. Defeat Lai Tsun: Lawrence Fails To Turn Out Against Chan, Chun-nam

ANTICIPATIONS of a great race between W. Lawrence and Chan Chun-nam in the 220 yards free-style at the V.R.C.-Lai Tsun gala on Saturday were rudely shattered when it was announced in bald words by the Hon. Secretary of the V.R.C. that Lawrence "had failed to turn up.' Lionel Roza-Pereira;` former champion of the Colony, however, sportingly turned out for this event, and though he was hardly able to offor Chan any op- position, the event lost nothing in Lawrence's absence, for a thrilling fight was waged for second place.

One of the outstanding features of the gala was the 25.2 seconds dash over the 50 yards by D. H. Taylor.

Lai

Thang Cheung-ming, Taun's star sprinter, gained a slight lead after the first few strokes in the 50 yards sprint, but this was soon reduced by Taylor and Hutchinson who drew level, and they reached the end of the bath with Taylor slightly in the lead followed by Tsang and Hutchinson, Fong Wah was out of the running.

On the back streich Tsang again forged ahead. profiting by Taylor's slight pause after the turn, liutchin- sun also crept up. Taung made an extra effort, but was unable to keep Taylor and Hutchinson back. Fur- thermore, he fouled the ropes when about 12 yards out, lost his stroke rhythm and came a good third. Hut- chinson challenged strongly, but was unable to pass Taylor.

ONE OF THE FINEST individual efforts seen for a long time in local swimming was that of Ng Nin, acquatic star of Chung Sing, in the Triangular Tournament held at the European Y.M.Č.A. pool on Saturday evening, in which teams representing the Y.M.C.A., Chung Sing B.S., and the Eastern A.A, participated. The latter teams shared 36 points, while the Y.M.C.A. came third with 11 points.

Ng Nin kept excitement at fever pitch when, after snatching the 220 yards from the redoubtable "Arthur" May, he went on to take the 440 yards from L. A.
