CHUNG SING PROTEST Judges' Award In Fifty Yards Race Disputed: Error Of

Hand Timing

(By "Ripple")

MAIN TOPIC of conversation among swim- mors over the week-end, apparently, has been the action of the Chung Sing Swimming Club in walk- ing out of the quadrangular gala at the European Y.M.C.A. on Saturday night. They had a grouse -strong and legitimate—there is little question of that, but what has come in for strong criticism was their method of expressing their dissatisfac- tion.

If there should be anyone yet unaware of the reason for the incident, I would recount that in the 50 yards free-style D. H. Taylor (V.R.C.) and Ng Tun-man (Chung Sing) were adjudged to have dead-heated in 25 seconds flat. Chung Sing disputed the decision, but un- der the methods used to obtain the result there was no likelihood of the judges changing their opinions, and Chung Sing were, perforce, without satisfaction.

It was anticipated that the|

finish would be very close, and Home Cricket the YMCA, had considered the difficulties there were in the

way of judging the finish with!

Incidentally, in the 100 yards breast-stroke, where the "butterfly" was also allowed. LM. Remedios (V.R.C.) used the modern stroke against Fong Chong-yue, and though Remedios gained almost hal a length's lead over the Arst three lengths, the stroke took so much out of him that he lost that lead over the last length and only managed to win just over touch-not 1% seconds as announced.

WITH the withdrawal of Ng
