Billiards And Snooker Championships

Plans H.K. Association

For Coming Season

(By "Tinker")

THERE ARE FEW people in the Colony who have not, or do not, play billiards, and because of this it is estim- ated that if all players were members of the Hongkong Billiards Association (which I suppose they are more or

less through their respective Clubs) the latter body should

vie with the Football Association in size.

Yet the activities of the Association are placed very much in the background in comparison with the other games here. They certainly haven't courted the publicity that should be theirs.

J. Marques Accused Of Deliberate Obstruction In Cross-Harbour Race

EXONERATED BY COMMITTEE

A SPECIAL COMMITTEE met yesterday at the V.R.C. to consider an unprecedented protest from South China Athletic Association alleging that J. Marques deliberately obstructed Miss Li Po-luen in the cross- harbour race on Friday last, and when near the finishing wall did so in such manner as to prevent Miss Li from winning the race.

The protest was dismissed and Marques completely exonerated.

The

Committee comprised Messrs. A. O. Barretto (Chair- man), L. Roza Pereira, N. A. E. Mackay, W. Lawrence, L. A. de V. Soares, H. Wingleo and L. M. Remedios.
