Doubles, two rounds will be played, but owing to the fact that there are only four teams in the Ladies' Doubles, three rounds will be played in this latter section. On the whole, the badminton league has met with ready response this season despite the difficult times at present, the new entry of Sokol being especially welcome, as is the return of St. John's University to the competition. It is To-day and To-morrow! at 2.30, 5, 7 and 9.15 p.m. to be regretted, however, that two former enthusiastic clubs have found themselves unable to participate this year; these teams are the Clube Lusitano and the Swiss Club.
The club which is hardest hit through loss of players is the Union Church which will be unable to call on the services of H. C. Eardley and his sister, Decima Eardley. These two players were the leading members of the Union Church last year but left for Hongkong recently.

Miss Eardley has also starred in her own right, having Doubles and the Mixed The Union Church team will not be entirely crippled, however, as the two reliable brothers, G. D. Chelmis and N. D.

Ballingall is a valuable acquisition for the Ladies' and Mixed Doubles.
