Cambridge at Addington

... £AMBRIDGE did well al Addington last Saturday when they were beaten by a very strong team, from one of the strongest clubs near London, by nine games to seven.

Our Happy-Go-Lucky Methods Fail in Monte Carlo Rally

... By Highwayman SOMETHING went wrong with the Monte Carlo Rally, so that, in spite of two men dead-heating in successive tests, it was fiat and tame at the end. It is hard to say why. No one could cavil with the result. Two first- class drivers in excellent cars divided the honours. They won them by entirely legitimate means, for the cars for the first time in some years were as near as ...

MODES OF THE MOMENT

... Modes of the Moment By LORNA CAMERON SPRING EDITIONS A SUIT may be the beginning of a spring outfit, but it is certainly not the end, for the right accessories are as important as the suit itself. Different blouses, especially, can alter its character completely. The models on this page, from Walpole's, New Bond Street, are designed for sports and the country, though they are equally good for ...

Boxer Who Shuns the Limelight

... TWENTY-YEAR-OLD Arthur Danahar is that rarity a successful boxer who fights shy of the limelight. Little is seen or heard of him between fights he just comes and sees and conquers, then vanishes. But now, with so much public interest focussed on his coming match with Eric Boon for the British light weight championship, Danahar has not been able to remain entirelyjtidden during training, and we ...

My Perfect Course

... ONE day I would like to make a golf course. I suppose every golfer feels this way, and many of those who imagine they have a flair for this kind of job do the best they can towards it by getting on the green committee at their club and making alterations on their course, moving tees and bunkers and reshaping slopes, etc. But i would like to make an entirely new* course one so difficult that ...

Dashing Forwards in Light Grey and Scarlet

... QN a beautiful stretch of turf in Southchurch Park, Midlands beat East by 4 goals to nil in a women's divisional hockey match. The game was always fast, clean and open. No one player was outstanding and the feature of the game was the sustained onslaught on the East goal by the whole Midlands forward line. In their light grey divided skirts and scarlet socks they certainly looked very ...

Where to Dance this Week-end

... By Ashley Courtenay WHERE can we go for the week-end where there will be a dance? is a question readers often ask me. For at this time of the year, when the golf course may be waterlogged and the weather acting generally as a de terrent to other forms of recreation, dancing may be one's only week-end exercise. And though I have not yet attempted to compile any list of hotels where dancing ...

Out, Damned Spot!

... By A. Croxton Smith ONE can imagine Dalmatian people adapting Macbeth to their feelings and saying, Out, damned spots, when they get a dog that carries these markings too plentifully. This thought came to my mind on reading the very admirable Year Book for 1938 pro duced by the British Dalmatian Club and edited by Mr. Martin S. Fisher. There, among many features of interest, we have an ...

Jai-Alai

... PROMOTER Mike Jacobs, of boxing and all-in wrestling fame, has found another game to attract New York, and since it has proved a box-office draw to the famous old Hippodrome, perhaps it will be tried out on the British public before long. It is , pronounced Hi-Li, and claimed to be the fastest game in the world. Actually it is the old Basque game of pelota which found its way to Cuba, via ...
