The following is the full text of the finding of the Protest Committee of the Hongkong Baseball Associa- tion in the matter" of the Filipino Dragons gamo:
We, the undersigned, having been appointed as a committee to pass on the protest filed by the Filipine Baseball Club against the S. C. A. A. Dragons for playing Mr. Abo Liu in the game of Dragons v. Filipinos, Sunday August 7th, the protest being based on the allegation that playing Mr. Liu was a violation of Article

IMPRISONED FOR ASSAULT
ON CONSTAELE.'
Sentence of three weeks' hard labour was passed by Mr. R. E. Lindsoll on the Chinese woman who, on August 9 at Second Street assaulted a Chinese constable with an axe out of a spirit of revenge.
The woman was defended by Mr. D. McCallum and when in the box yesterday told his Worship that she was not aware how the

he wished to do so. Words led to blows and when witness saw her daughter assaulted she went to ask the constable to desist. constable, however, promptly ar- rested her and gave her a good thrashing.
We love given the matter deep consideration and base our decision on the following:
1. That Article 9, as at present constituted, is loosely worded and may be so interpreted as to allow the playing of caspal visi- tore to the Colony, in which category we place Mr. Liu, but 2. That in the opinion of this com- mittee the intent of Article 9 is to the effect that only bona fide residents of the Colony are eligi- ble to play and we recommend that the article be amended so to read in order to avoid future misunderstanding.
3. That we and the
Dragons at fault in not putting Mr. Liu's name before the Committee for his eligibility to be passed on and that the best interests of base- ball in the Colony are not served in playing casual visitors to Hongkong in League matches. We believe both teams to have acted in good faith and sincerely hope they will accept this decision in the spirit in which is is given--that of good sportsmanship.

The daughter, corroborated the mother's story and added that, in- censed by the assault which the her constable was inflicting mother, some of the neighbours joined in the fight against the con- stable and it was possible that one of them might have struck the con- stable the blow which caused his head to bleed.
At the end of the evidence Mr. McCallum submitted that it would be grossly unfair, if a secume did take place, that his client should be made to bear the brunt of the whole, affair. He added that it was impossible to inflict so slight a wound with so heavy an axe.
His Worship said that he must convict, especially as the defence's witnesses could not show how the He re- constable was wounded. S.minded Mr. McCallum that the
