NOTICE
THE HONG KONG JOCKEY CLUB
The Tao Kong team, is made up of students from the Tao Kung Domestle Science School in Taiwan and was first formed in 1955.
The following year the team was selected to represent Taipe! In the Eleventh Talwan Pro- vinelai Sports Meeting and 1 won the Ladies' Softball cham- pionship against such formid- able opposition as the well- known Ching Heul and Yu Shon squads both of which have been seen in action locally.

Their performances afleld brought them recognition in an- other sport, baseball, May 1937 they were chosen to represent Taiwan against A Japanese Girls baseball team.
In October of the same year
they ofce again represented Talpel, this time in the 12th Sports Meeting and they relulti- ed their softball title by beating Yu Shan in the play-off.
A well-balanced side could easily be formed from this array of local talent but the big ques- tion is whether there will be any semblance of team-work: Silva will place emphasis on batting and has not yet decided on the starting nine.
The Big Question
The winners? · Taiwan, with- cut a doubt. A HK victory would definitely fall into the category of “major upset."

They will play a three-game series oguinst local opposition during their short støy 'in the Colony.
