FROM BIG DEFEAT BY C.B.A.
AFTER A BRILLIANT START St. Joseph's fell away badly in the First Division League game against Eastern at Caroline Hill yesterday and were beaten by 5 goals to 1.
A. V. Gosano played at right back for the Saints, where he partnered Costa, and did well, but the inability of the intermediate line to hold the attacking forwards threw ad- ditional work on his shoulders.

With several members teering Manning the previous day, and
others having played softball in the YESTERDAY'S RESULTS
heat of the midday sun, it was obvious that the Saints were a tired team shortly after the start.
Added to this their passing, parti- cularly, in the forward line, left much to be desired. The forwards were seldom in position to receive a pass.

Lee Tak-kee played an improved game from last week and worked hard throughout. Gaan also played better Kwong Wah and though in need of practice, will do well later.
The attack of the Eastern team led by Cheung Kam-hoi was in great

One of the reasons why instruc- tors advise their pupils to assume a relaxed attitude at address is because it induces a smoother body turn. Some even suggest that the player carry the sugges- tion of ease at address to the point of laziness. You have all seen the tall, rather slouchy in- dividual, who belied,both his energy and looks by belting the ball some two hundred and fifty yards down the fairway, Without- putting a vigorous bodily effort Into the blow he swung his club smoothly and with gradually in- creasing acceleration through the ball.
Such a physical state allows the body to turn underneath the head with a minimum of strain. This allows the head to remain in aTM stationary position, chin pointed back of the ball in orthodox style, while the golfer makes his stroke. Adherence to such a policy will in time create a grooved stroke. It may never be as efficient as that of Bobby Jones, shown here, but it will help you win many a Sun- day match.

form. He distributed the ball well to both the wingers and was always in position to receive a pass. The wingers were not as dangerous as usual, Hsu Ching-to did not indulge in any fancy work, but crossed the ball when in possession.
Leonard gave the Saints the lead early in the game while the team was still fresh, but this lead was short- lived when Thom Chao-tak had Sammy Tsang beaten with a fast grounder to the corner of the net.
Eastern took the lead when Cham Kam-hoi headed in. Sammy. Tsang was at fault with this goal, - he ran out to intercept a centre and missed when Gosano had Cham Kam-hoi covered.
Chan Yue Ting scored Eastern's third goal.
In the second half St. Joseph's start- ed attacking but though the Eastern was on the defence for a time the Saints could not get within · shooting distance.
Bad feeling then started to creep into the game, and several players were fortunate not to receive match- ing orders.
Cham Kam-hoi- missed a penalty but the same player increased East- ern's lead shortly after and before time registered his "hat trick."

THE SAPPERS' HOCKEY TEAM did not show their
usual form against a much faster C.B.A. eleven on C.B.A.'s ground on Sunday and lost 1-0.
Play was confined mainly to the although their passing generally show- Sappers end up to half time, and only fed need for improvement, several at- brilliant work by Heath for the En-tacks were made at C.B.A.'s goal. Just gineers saved a heavier defeat. From before the final whistle, Fowler E.. their occasional raids on the C.B.A.'s looked dangerous in an attempt to go goal Sappers showed a lack of polish through but was stopped by Goodwin, in finishing,
Result. C.B.A. 1 F.R.E. 0.
Foley beat Bond, centred, and Lock- hart in saving Ellesly's shot turned the ball round the post. From the corn- er C.B.A. were slow in getting off the mark and gave Ellesly the opportun- ity to net. The centre forward, how- ever, was slow and was quickly rob- bed by Ainsley.
C.B.A. SCORE
Austin showed some excellent stick work by completely baffling the Sap- pers defence. Taking the ball up to the goal line he cut in beating two of to the defenders and finally passed Fowler, S., who netted for C.B.A.
Confident work in goal by Heath for Sappers prevented Austin and the Fowler Brothers from adding C.B.A.'s score.
An amusing incident occurred when Gilchrist broke his stick in an attempt to clear from a breakaway by the Sap- pers.
C.B.A. continued to worry the En- gineers' defence and just before half time Fowler S. broke through and nearly scored for C.B.A.
Half time C.B.A. 1 F.R.E, nil. C.B.A. opened the second half in grand style, Austin, Millington and Fowler E. being the most dangerous of the forwards. Sappers were at last showing signs of settling down and

It's the mellowness of BOOTH'S Dry Gin that makes it so much to be desired in cocktails. Such mellowness comes only from treble distillation and maturing in sherry casks and BOOTH'S DRY is the only GIN which receives such care in ite mak- ing. It is not to be wondered at that - the 1st prize, Cocktail in the Inter- national Cocktail Competition was male with Booth's Dry.
