MALAYA-5 HONGKONG-3
BRILLIANT BLACKWOOD & ACROBATIC ONG PROVE TOO GOOD FOR HONGKONG
By I. M. MacTAVISH
This was a game of names. Names like Blackwood... Ong Kim-Hock and probably most important of all from the final result point of view. . . Lau Chi- lam.
The first two names are those of the players who carried the visitors to victory .. yet strange to relate it is the third one, that of Law Chi-lam, that de- vided the vital pattern of this match of two very contrasting halves.

27 Brigade Too Good For RAF Island
In Saturday's Match
By "PAK LO”
On Saturday afternoon the Club "B" went down unexpectedly to a 5 points (1 goal) to nil defeat at the hands of the Navy, but elsewhere the games went as predicted. Club "A" overcame Garrison Island by 11 points (1 goal, 2 tries) to nil, though again the Club took things easy, this time however in the second half when leading comfortably.
At Sekong both games produced large scores, the 27 Brigade proving them- selves too good for the RAF Island whom they beat handily by 23 points (1 goal, I penalty goal, 5 tries) to 8 points (1 goal, 1 try).

Dodgers And Yankees Now Two Games Each
World Series
In
New York, Oct. 7.
Tail Tom Sturdivant, base runners at his back in almost every inning, ignored the pressure of his first World Series start today to flatten the Brooklyn Dodgers, 6-2; and square the World Series for the New York Yankees at two games each.
The cool Kansan with the blazing fast ball, unruffled by those Dodgers dancing on the base paths or by two errors behind him, thrilled a Yankee Stadhum crowd of 60,705 as he survived a bases-filled Dodger rally in the ninth and finished up his pressurized job by stranding eight base runners on six scattered' hits.
