Week's Combined Meet

(By "Tinker")

MOST INTERESTING ITEM on the aquatic schedule for the week-end is the return fixture between Lai Tsun Swimming Union and the Victoria Recreation Club, which will be held at the Chinese "Y", Bridges Street, to-morrow night, commencing at 8 p.m.

On the last occasion of meeting, which was on July 12, the V.R.C. gained a ̃32-23 points victory, this being mainly due to the efforts of the women.

Most Appalling Incident

IN the 1918 World Series between the Cubs and Boston Red Sox, there was an incident so appalling that the memory of a man, the victim, has not yet recovered from the shock. The victim was Tom Clark, then a veteran second-string catcher for the Cubs, now a gray-haired scout for the Giants.
