Results In Minor Outburst

Kowloon-Happy Valley Match

(By "Birdie")

IF WRITING could show a hoarse voice, these words would be blurred and unreadable, and it is all the result of the foul golfing weather we had on Sunday. On Saturday, in shorts and a sports singlet ono perspired; on Sunday, with two swea- ters and a muffler the biting wind still got through and for the first few holes gave one the shivers.

And then it rained in the afternoon.

The annual match between teams selected by the Presidenti

and Captain of the Country Club To-day's Tennis

Sheungshui, was called off when the rain came down, and as someone had to pay for the din- ner after the match, the scores were reckoned at the time of abandonment and the Presi- dent's side were hosts.

On the singles matches in the morning, however, the Captain's team had gained a slight lend of 13 points. This is, I think, the third year in succession that this match has been abandoned through rain. To some t proves a long and disastrous interval before dinner.

PERIODICALLY, the Ameri-

can professionals voice their opinions as to who is the best golfer in their ranks, and recent- ly Paul Runyan started some- thing when he lauded Sam Snead the best golfer who has ever lived.

Two days later the storm broke in the locker room following the New
