This first division league match between South China and Kowloon Motor Bus yesterday was a fine entertaining game commendable of football. Both sides played with enthusiasm and if the final result was just right might, quite easily, have been very different. When Mr Douglas blew his whistle to signify that time was up the big scoreboard at the far end of the Hongkong Stadium read

WEEKEND SOFTBALL
Indians Unlucky To Lose 6-7 To Dodgers In Extended Game
By OLLY VAS '.
There was not much to cheer about in the week's
softball matches at King's Park.
The Squawa played truunt and gave a walk-over to `
the Toreros in the Ladies' league. In the Senior League the Braves stayed closely on the hoels of the league-leading Cheyennes by beat- ing the Pandas 8-5.
There were some close finishes seen in the Junior section. The Cheyennes bowed to the Giants 4-5, the Austers lost their ninth straight game when they were trounced 4-16 by the Cardinals and the Indians were a little unlucky to lose to the Dodgers by 7-6 in an extended game. The Pandas beat the New Asia College boys 15-5.
