Items Of Interest To Swimmers

Spate Of Gala Activity This Week-end

Aid To Bomber Fund

V.A.D.-A.N.S. and Lai Tsun-V.R.C. Meets To-morrow Night

(By "Tinker").

TOGETHER with the Government inter-Depart- mental gala at the European Y.M.C.A. this evening, there will be a spate of unusual activity in swimming circles. this week-end. To-morrow night there will be two Mcels that in many respects will occupy main interest. These are the V.A.D.-A.N.S. and V.R.C.-Lai Tsun galas, the first in the Army Pool and the second at the V.R.C.

Those, to whom swimming is a more serious topic, will un- doubtedly be in attendance at the V.R.C., for the Nurses' func- tion is more in the nature of a social event in aid of the Bom- ber Fund. As far na I can re- member, this is the first all- women's gala ever held in Hongkong. though I am told that there was another many years ago.

2. The Catcher

This is the second article in the series of seven dealing with the playing of the various positions on the diamond.,

THE CATCHER is a very important cog in every ball club. He should be the target for the pitcher. He must be prepared to catch a high, low or wide balls, and then be in a position to throw in case somo base is occupied.

This position is best taken crouch- ing, knees slightly bent, the feet normally spread and the weight of Golf the body just off the heels. The body should be erect and relaxed above the hips and the body well balanced, especially while squatting. This will allow the catcher to step in any direction in the least possible time and effort.

He should not bend too far for- ward, nor be caught flat-footed, but should be ever on the alert

Officers Beat Other Ranks

In Royal Scots Gala

OFFICERS won the first inter-Ranks swimming gala, which was held by the Royal Scots in the Army pool yesterday. In the six events, the Officers took one first, four seconds and a fourth, and these were mainly through the fine efforts of Licut Millar, Capt. Dunlop and Lieut Hunter.

States to fight his way to the heavyweight title and win a fortune, Max was a playful and friendly fellow, given to practical Jokes, but in his last couple of visits he was a rather haughty individuni.

This possibly was a result of the almost hysterical acclaim given him in Germany after knocking out Joe Louis. In Berlin at the time, Max practically owned the town.

There wasn't the slightest doubt in Max's mind, ever, that he

would knock the negro out again in 1938. He trained lightly at Speculator, N.Y., and paid no attention to Jacobs whatsoever,
