THE CHINA MAIL, JUNE 15, 1940
BASEBALL
CHUNG HWA-H.B. MATCH
BEST GAME
OF WEEK-END
"SKIP'S" FORECAST FOR TO-DAY
FIRST DIVISION
1
(By "Grandstand")
OF THE THREE TILTS slated for the week-end the Hong Kong Brewery-Chung Hwa game this afternoon is the only one which should provide some real entertainment to baseball bugs.
Results of to-morrow's games ap-
pear to be foregone conclusions; Hong SWIMMING Kong Baseball Club should take Roy-
al Engineers to town in the opener and Mindanao should be able to give South China a neat lacing.
To-day's encounter between Hong Kong Brewery and Chung Hwa should attract fans in droves as the fray pro- mises to be one of the best this sea-
:son. As the result of this game will have a lot to do with the Champion-
ship. both mentors, Abe Liu and Hal "Babyface" Winglee, will be fielding their strongest line-up and every play- ver will be on his toes.
H. B. FAVOURED
Baseball critics and guessers fav- our the Brewers to top the Abemen on account of the formers' batting prowess and better outfielders. Maybe the critics base their opinion on the Brewer's performances last season, because so far this year the Winglee- men have not done so well with the -willow wand. In three starts
they have only chalked up 25 hits, while Chung Hwa have already clouted 38 safeties in four League games,
some
Bill Chang will again start on the Mound for Chung Hwa with fresh instructions from the one and only
be Abe Liu. Nip Lum will trucking behind the plate and Grand- pop Leung is assigned to cover the first hassock. Grandpop promises to do better this time than he did last Sunday, when he dropped no less than three. Choy covers the keystone -and Tuffy Chinn guards the hot corn- er. Versatile Wally Ching will be cavorting at short stop and will be in readiness to take over mound duty in -case Bill Chang needs help to mow down the Brewers, Babe Chinn, A. Chan, Al Lau and Loong will be the fly-chasers out in the pastures:

TOUGH GAME EXPECTED
BETWEEN C.C.C. & C.S.C.C.
(By "Skip")
AFTER LAST SATURDAY'S compulsory rest, lawn bowlers are anxious to get back into the fray again this afternoon and the weather prospects as I write seem
favourable.
The Champions will be at home to Kowloon Dock and although the latter have out a team well up to the aver- age,
I think the King's Park Team should win quite comfortably.

Unless Mindanao show Nam Hwa mercy, the second game of a double header on Sunday will be no less than a merry-go-round. Coach Wing- lee reports that the South China squad are gradually shaping into form, but very slowly, and little can be expected of them this year. The boys are trying hard but you can't very well make good ball players out.

In Third Division, Prison Officers are at home to the Indians and, in spite of the latters' recent success, I win must tip the Stanley team to comfortably.
There should be a closer game be- tween the Electricians and Craigen- gower; the latter have won all their three games and, as they are playing at Ming Yuen, should be able to re- tain eir 100 per cent record."
