DING-DONG ENCOUNTER CANUCKS START SHORT
(By “GRANDSTAND")
DESPITE the slippery condition of the ground three softball games were played on Sunday, the Recreio Bees Canadian Chinese tilt furnishing the highlight of a curtail- ed programme.

Spicy light Satinlight Confusion Bay Mount Hope Bay Eve of Harvest Gretber
The dual winners were the only ones to have a canter prior to the start, which saw eight of the nine entries-Burford Craigavad did not accept-get away in a line. Spicylight (Mr. Wei), which had drawn the rails position, attempt ed to go out as pace-maker, only to be displaced by Mount Hope Bay (Mr. Proulx) at the football stands. These two were setting a fast pace and Satin- light (Mr. Hearne), leading the re- minder of the field, was quite four lengths behind, followed closely by Burford, Eve of Harvest (Mr. Poy) and Confusion Bay.
SPICYLIGHT FALTERS
Burford went up to third place when nearing the Rock and at the 14 mile starting gåte Spicylight faltered bad- very ly and Confusion Bay, going nicely, was slowly overhauling Mount Hope Bay, which, had by this time a lead of six lengths. Entering the home straight Mount Hope Bay was leading, followed by Confusion Bay on the .outside and Burford on the rails, but it was
soon apparent that the race was between Burford and Confusion Bay, which, despite running wide, had a small advantage. Opposite the public stand Burford, hugging the rails, had its neck in front and it held this ad- vantage until the last 50 yards, when Confusion Bay, still well on the out- the side, in order to make use of harder ground, drew level with a last, determined effort, and the judges' could not separate them at the post.
In the meanwhile Mount Hope Bay
received little opposition and finished third, three lengths behind, with Spicylight, which staged a comeback over the last quarter, fourth, and Gretber (Mr. Chao), which had run last for four-fifths of the race, fifth. Eve of Harvest was sixth, Satinlight, third favourite, seventh and Eve of Heaven (Mr. Hoo Pak-ming) eighth.
