PLAYED UNDER DISMAL WEATHER
AND POOR · GROUND
CONDITIONS, LAST WEEK'S SOFTBALL PROGRAMME offered little entertainment to the handful of steadfast fans that turned out at
the Kowloon Football Club to witness the four-game card.
Opening the day's proceedings, the Cardinals received no opposi- tion whatsoever from the Little Flower Club and garnered sixteen safeties off the hurling of L. Rosario to register a 19-1 victory. Efegenia Babida pitched hitless ball for the winners and received sound. support from Rosita Bagalawls who celebrated her return to the local diamond by connecting for three hits in five trips to the plate.

SEVEN-A-SIDE RUGBY
Middlesex Thoroughly Deserved Their Win Over Sing Tao
Persistency Won Lai Wah Cup For Civilians
BY "PILAT"
Though the League programme over the week-end was the shortest this season, only two matches being played, the results were not without interest.
In the Senior Division, SING TAO, hitherto potential champions of this section, were given an unpleasant shack by MIDDLESEX on Saturday when, in their last difficult hurdle, they fell a cropper, los- ing to the "Diehards" by the odd goal in three. With this defeat Sing Tao's hopes of winning the championship also faded away and they will probably finish in third position.
