SPORTS NOTES

Billiards And Snooker Tournaments This Year

Qualified Referees Wanted

THOUGH BILLIARDS AND SNOOKER usually receive a minor place in the category of sport, there is, this year, distinct promise that those indoor games will arouse a greater onthusiasm than ever.

The military tournamentswill probably commence towards the end of the month, and these include,

The Garrison League Championship.

The Garrison Challenge Cup.

The Garrison Soldiers' Club Tournament. The Amateur Billiards Championship.

The Amateur Snooker Championship.

Under the leadership of : Lieut. W. V. Dixon, the Royal Mediend Corps-triple champions, winners of the League Championship and holders of the Garrison Challenge Cup for two suc- years have great

Swimming And Water-polo LAST week saw the annual

swimming galas of the Hongkong Signal Company and the Royal Scots. The Signals competitions were very enjoyable, and the en- thusiasm shown in the no- vices' events is a pleasant augury of future ability. The Wireless Telegraphy Section proved their superi- ority, which was best exem- plified in the smashing 7-0 defeat of the Rest at Water- polo.
