"Bomber Fund

Germ Of An Idea That

Should Be Fruitful

Open And On Handicap.

(By "Birdio")

AROUND THE 19TH HOLE the other day there was talk of an open tournament for golfors in aid of the Bomber Fund, and tongues were go- ing at quite an enthusiastic rate. It is an appeal- ing idea, and if organised should bear fruit.

The first consideration was whether it would prove more successful if run on the Open Championship lines or on handicaps, and without a doubt it was agreed that the second would open the competition to more players, and thus provide a greater support for the Fund.

Entrants would,

Canuckettes Humbled.

(By "Ball Fan")

PENNANT ASPIRATIONS of the Marauding Mohawks and the Maple Leaf Lassies wore given a rude setback over the week-end as both leading teams went down to bitter defeat, making the pay-off scramble more complicating than ever.

A flustered, wcale-playing Canuckettes nine was sent scurrying to the cleaners before a fierce 11-2 Wildcat on- slaught. The ball bombing Indians preserved their mathematical chance in their fight for the men's senior loop pennant by stopping a strong Mohawk threat.

Chung Hwa Maroons retained their league-leading spot in the Junior loop with a close 6-5 win over South China's fighting-mad ball tossers.
