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.

The answer lies in the fact that billiards and snooker, an maintained in the Colony, have been practically confined to the respective Clubs, and only on tow occasions have inter-Club games been played.

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 one, Mr. Wong Kam-lok was of the Messrs. A. O. Barretto (Chair-opinton even if Miss Li bad not been blocked, as alleged, Mike Guterres man), L. Roza Pereira, N. A. E had sufficient lead to have won the

Mr. Barretto read a letter from the Secretary of the S.C.AA. which alleged that Marques made several attempts to block Miss Li, and caused her to swim off her course. The South China Committee had given the matter careful thought and had arrived at the conclusion that the at-

Addressing the Chinese represen- tatives, Mr. Roxa Pereira asked if they thought that anyone would be swim- another mer right in front of the Clubhouse and to view of the hundreds of spectators, when he might have done so in the middle of the har bour where probably it would not have been weert.

Mr. Barretto answered a question suddenly changed, and Marques crossed right in front. Mies that Marques had swum with Miss Guterres was on the right.

Marques crossed in efforts to hider her.

Mr. Roza Pereira ald that the charge was a most serious one, and if upheld would leave blot against Marquer name. It wa not in the nature of a protest against an infringement of rules. but actually accused Marques of unfair tactics.

Mr. Roza Pereira went on to sug- gest to the South Chins representa- Ives that

Mr. Li Chi-hoy (South China) sald the that the protest had been made fol- lowing Miss Li's complaints after race. The obstruction had occurred just in front of the V.R.C., and added that it was his belief that Marques had deliberately obstructed Miss Li in order that Miss Guterres might win.
