The men's Championship at the Country Club, too,

seems in for a long delay, for I know that at least two of the players remaining in the competition will be unable to play matches for the next two or three weeks.

Local rutes usually get around the problem of plugged balls, but it tu me that it should be a general rule that they be lifted and deopped. The professionals say that a bad shot is not the fault of the lle but the fault! of the player, but few claim to have attained profession standards.

SWEEPING ACROSS the ball park in a Sunday morning prelude, drizzling showers put the well- known damp sign on a week-end softball session at the Kowloon stadium. High run-piling was carded in all games and the soggy terrain produced a slide-slushing brand of ball which had the chilled fans in a vociferous state along gashouse row.
