Marked with a rare exhibition of baseball, the Volunteers defeat- ed the Japanese by the score of 7-8 on Saturday on the Causeway Bay diamond.

The battery of "Letty" Bowen, and Wing Lee was too much for the lads from the land of the Rising Sun, and although Bowen tanned dve, he walked nine. How- ever, he was backed well by the fielding, Wing Lee proved himsel most efficient in his throws, to second base,
Mikuni Ditched throughout the game, but the Volunteers knocked the balls at will. N. Leonard: scored the only home run of the game
