TRIUMPH OVER

Sensational Play In Last Two Innings.
McINNES MAKES DEBUT
(By IKE).
South China, 1932 champions, came on terms with the Hong Kong Americans in the Hong Kong Base- ball League yesterday when they won a splendidly fought game at Caroline Hill by 11 runs to 2.
The Chinese were 2-1 down at the end of the fifth inning but then scored 10 in the last two innings to record sensational triumph.
South China had their usual line-up, but the Hong Kong American
were handicapped
by the absence of their cap- tain and wizard pitcher, Al Huebner. Biggs, their crack short-stop from Canton, WAS unable to get here, for the game and was sadly missed. Al. Bowen pitched all seven rings for the Americans. This WAS Al's. first big game on the mound, as the only other game he pitched in was last week when the Americana beat the "President Coolidge" by a score of 16-5.

Scott, the son of Lord Eldon, is 55 and Bourn is 30..
Amazing play on the greens by Scott, who borrowed: his brother's putter, gave the veteran the title. He was 5 up at the turn and 4 up at the 27th.
The American challenge was frustrated when Scott beat George Dunlap, the American Walker Cup player, by 4 and
