Saturday was a blank day as re- gards sport, only one thing arrang- ed, timely, a Service sailing rac. at the Yacht Club, taking place.
Sports landlord through th heavy rain comprised all matches in the Tranis League 'nni - Dawn Bowls Lengue; the Baseball League match between the Filipinos and the Japanese the friendly Football match (serend of the series) be tween the Hong Kong Chinese Athletic Association and the Queen's Royni Regiment at Sokunpoo, and the opening matches in connection with South China Athletin.

Another attractive event, which had to go. by the hoard was the opening night fête at the Victoria Recreation Club. This was a great disappointment to many, as some excellent competitions were promis. ed with the Army and Navy taking part in a team race, and the 1st Craiser Squadron playing a Water

The II.K.B.C. was in top for yesterday and walloped the S.C. Tigers to the tune of 25-44 in a seven inning game. Cockey, the Ameri- cai pitching ace, twirled an excel- lent game. He successfully held the Tigers at bay for the first five innings. In the sixth, the Tigers made a rally and assisted by a flock of errors, were able to scramble four men home. In the seventh and last canto, Cockey blanked them

"A" DIVISION.
The first position in the "A" Division, has been definitely secured by the Chinese Recreation Club who have played and won all their six natches: The Indian Recreation Club run a close second with one match lost und will probably finish second, having to meet only the United Services Recreation Club to complete their fixtures. On form they should win that engagement. The Kowloon Cricket Club are in the third position with four matches won and two lost, while the other Clabs will, in all probability, finish in the following order: University (4th), Hong Kong Cricket Club (hth), Mitsui Bussin Kaisha.
