FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP HEATS

TO-DAY

Chan Chun-nam Threatens LEAGUE CRICKET TO CARRY ON

Half-mile Record

Satisfactory Entries

(By "Ripple")

FIRST HEATS for the swimming champion- ships of the Colony will be held this evening in the Victoria Recreation Club pool. These, how- ever, will only be for three of the five champion ship events that are on the schedule, for in the women's 100 yards back-stroke and the women's 200 yards free-style relay there are five and three entries respectively, and as there are five lanes in the pool, heats should not be necessary.

Events this evening, therefore, will be the men's 220 yards free-style, the women's 50 yards free-style and the men's 100 yards breast-stroke.

The list of entries were pub-|

lished recently, and the first |**************........................ event-the 220 yards free-style

"I WOULD congratulate Hongkong if you could keep cricket going and run the League through the conditions of the next few months" were the approving words of Major Petric, Army representative at the Hongkong Cricket League meeting yesterday, when it was indicated that there would be ample support from the Clubs for the continuance of the usual annual competitions.
