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

Hand Timing

(By "Ripplo")

MAIN TOPIC of conversation among swim. mers 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 littlo 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 Taun-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 Th

finish would be very close, and Home Cricket the Y.M.C.A. and considered the difficulties there
