NATIONAL LEAGUE

LAST WEEK-END, for the first time since the rains came-which seems about six months ago I went out to the New Territories to see how the courses there were taking it. In certain parts they still have it. The Royal Hongkong Golf Club courses looked, and I believe were, playable, but the Country Club course was still very moist, though, except for one or two bad spots, was quito New York playable, too.
