SAINTS DEFEATED BY CHAMPIONS IN GOOD OPENING GAME Tsang And Leonard Outstanding For Losers Fitness, Combination SARAZEN STILL HAS GRIP
Will Take St Joseph's Far
SOUTH CHINA “A," champions, started their football season yesterday by defeating St. Joseph's by 6 goals to 3 at Caroline Hill before a large crowd, but for the first half and a period of the second they were fully extended by the Saints.
The Saints played hard and in the first half more than held their own but in the second period the lack of training told and the defence was overrun by the Chinese forwards --only the inspired goalkeeping of Sammy Tsang saving the Saints from a bigger defeat.
The Saints' defence was solid and the quick tackling of the intermediate line upset the Chinese forwards and it was not until the later stages of the game that the Chinese were able to indulge in their inter-passing.
Lee Wai-tong who led the attack scored two good goals but he had a hard afternoon against Hussain who used his weight to block the centre forward. Fung King-cheong and Tam Kwong-sum led Hormiball a merry dance while Pereira found Lau Tau- man a tough proposition.

Kowloon Jorge:
The Chinese defence was riot so impressive, Leung Wing-chui in the pivotal position did not have the bet- ter of Leonard though Soong Ling-9. sing and Lau Hin-choi gave him every assistance.
Had the Saints been in fitter condi- tion a different story would have been told. Few of the players had had any training and there was little combina- tion in the forward line. Lee Tak-kee who came into the team at the last moment did not fit into the side and was at sea with the rest of the attack and added to this he was not in his best form.
D. Leonard, in spite of what has often been said of his declining form
played one of the best games he has done for many seasons. Two goals were scored by him. He was assisting the deferee when able and his passes to his other forwards left little to be desired, and if the remain- ing forwards had combined better or had better understanding, the South China defence would have had a try- ing time. His passes
to the left wing and his ball control were

Leonard gave the Saints the lead in the first minute when he headed in a perfect centre from Castilho. Shortly after he just missed increasing the lead when he sent in a hard drive.
Fung King-cheong equalised for the Chinese and just before the interval the same player head in from a cen- tre from Lau Tau-man.

ON GAME
By BEST BALL Gene Sarazeň believes a large amount of his golf success, or any golfer's success for that matter lies in the grip. He is one of the few in the upper crust of pros who employ the interlocking grip. Way back in 1922 at Skokie Country Club, Glencoe, III, he won the National Open title in a surprise victory. Sarazen was so confident, some of the pros thought it might be best if he were taken down a peg or two but were unable to do anything about it for Gene went. blithely ahead with the task at hand and won. Since then he has been in the thick
of many an Open; his sensational shots and. low rounds always in the news.
Sarazen attributes a measure of the efficiency of his grip to the fact that he used to do a little odd car- pentry in his young days and this strengthened his right hand. This hand, by the way, he figures sup- plies most of the momentum and control throughout the stroke in variance to the theory of many players, who think the left hand plays a major part. Sarazen now keeps in condition throughout the year by working on his farm in Connecticut, appearing at odd in- tervals in tournaments, where to the consternation of the other golfers and fans alike, he proceeds to knock par loose from its moor- ings.

Such mellowness comes' only from treble distillation and maturing in sherry casks' and BOOTH'S DRY is the only GIN which receives such carc in its mak ing.
