SCATHING AMERICAN COMMENT

FERRIER'S BAN Disqualified Because He Was Sports-writer

Entries For H.K. Amateur

(By "Birdio")

WHATEVER may have been the upheavals in Australia following the United States Golf Asso- ciation's ban on Jim Ferrier for the U. S. Amateur, loud were the rumblings in the American Press, and with their unbounded freedom of speech made no bones about their displeasure.

One paper says that he was debarred on the eve of the competition because of the publication in Australia of his book "Jim Ferrier's Golf Shots" and another imputes the ban to the fact that he is a sports-writer for an Australian newspaper. But though they might be divided in their opinions why he was disqualified, they are unanimous in expressions of surprise and indignation at the ruling.

It is obvious that peculiar bidding, psychics and wild jump-overbids are no use in such a game, indeed the hands have been very carefully selected

Unfounded Rumours Of Cancellation

Lawrence & Lau Yiu-ting Selected to Swim

(By "Tinker")

RUMOURS, which are pertainly not founded on any official. Informa- tion, are circulating that the Interport swimming meet with the Philippines the is to be cancelled owing to situation in the Far East. They arose, I should imagine, out of idle conversation.

Only hitch in the programme is that there is some slight difficulty be ing experienced in securing sufficient accomodation on vessels sailing for the end of Hongkong around the month

Otherwise everything is proceeding as announced,

Final selections for the Hongkong Interport team are W. Lawrence and Lau Yu-ting. The former appeared after long absence in the trials at the V.R.C. yesterday, and clocked 50 seconds for the 100 yards free-style. beating both Ng Tun-man and A. V. Ozorio,

In the 100 yards back-stroke, he returned a time of 70% seconds, which is only secs. short of the championship time returned by A. K. Rumfahn.
