AFTER THE LORD MAYOR'S SHOW!
So-called Big Game turns out to be one of the poorest this season
By I. M. MacTAVISH
Thank goodness the Peruvians did not see this effort! ! In a dull, drab, lifeless first division soccer game played at the Hongkong Stadium yesterday Kitchee beat KMB by three goals to onc.
That is just about the beginning and the end of the story for this was first division stuff in name only. From start to finish there was never a sustained hint of anything 're- sembling the accepted soccer arts and the only enthusiastic cheer of the match came when the referee blew his whistle for full time.

Braves trounce the Renville' in disappointing game
By OLLY VAS
The U.S. Navy team from the "Renville" put on a display of softball as it should not be played when it got a severe trouncing from the Braves yesterday at King's Park, to the tune of 22 runs to 6.
What was expected to be a tight match ended in a runaway victory for the defending champions who put on an awesome show of batting strength against a completely demoralised and flustered Navy side.
