The Hong Kong Americans greed the Public Schools by 61 runs, strong challengers to the Japanese. It is a long time since we have seen a strong combination like this. For several seasons they had been sorely in need of some heavy batters and they seem to have found them in the present line up. In Lawrence they have a great burler. He struck out ten men in their match against the Mindano and he sure throws a mean ball: Hearther their first base man is quite at home with the bat. and on more than one occasion I have seen him sending the old apple way -over centre field to bring the men A little on the three bases home. more work out of their infeld squad will greatly improve matters and at the rate they are going they ought to provide plenty of excite- ment.

A well. balanced team this year under the old warrior will give the rest a good "go" for the honours.
The Chinese and the Americans are crossing bats to-day and a good game, is expected. The Americans will be starting with confidence in Lawrence, their pitcher, who has been playing quite above the average so far. The Chinese will be, depending on "Matty" to do his stuff. Their infeld play as far as I can see is not impressive. A lot Inare is needed to make it formid-. able. The game will be interesting from any angle as both these teams arc very evenly balanced and matched:
