CAT AND MOUSE GAME IN LAI WAH CUP FINAL YESTERDAY
(By "Veriton")
THE least said or written about the Lai Wah Cup final payed yesterday between the Chinese and Civilians, the better... SUFFICE to add that it was about the worst game ever seen in this competition, and for that matter, any other local tournament, and that the Chinese won by only six goals to one (I say "only" advisedly) was their funeral entirely."

Ex-Stoker Reynolds, well remembered Hongkong boxer, unsuccessfully challenged Jack Hood for the welter-weight title of Great Britain at Birmingham last month.
The erstwhile navy man took the count in the ninth round for the first time-in his career, but he put up a creditable display as the following special round by round account of the fight, desrribed by a special correspondent of the Portsmouth Evening News, clearly shows.
Round 1-Reynolds at once carried the stoker waste his strength in rush- the fight to Hood, and carly landed ing about the ring, and then picked Roynolds's armour a heavy right swing to the jaw, again loopholes in the Stoker rushed to close quarters Once Hood did unleash himself and home both hands to the and scored with both hands but Hood crashed cheeked him the next time with a head.
