HOW H.K. C. C. WERE THWARTED OF VICTORY
'DADMINTON
BIG CHANCE
MISSED
BY KOWLOON TONG
Should Have Beaten The V.R.C.
· (Bý "Varitan”).
Kowloon Tong lost a great chance of earning their first two league points in the men's doubles division of the badmin- ton league when they enter- tained V.R.C. last night. The visitors won by the odd game, decision being left until the last encounter of the evening. Earlier on the home team had its opportunity, but Gray and Chan un expectedly lost to M. M. Soares and 1. Lopes and this proved to be the turning point.
With the V.IL.C. leading 4-2 after Kowloon Tong had won the first two games of the programme, the home pairs staged a good recovery. Leung and Pong engaged Soares and Lopes in an exciting encounter before win- ning 24-21, and White and Wong fol- lowed. this up by beating Barrello and Soares,
Everything then hinged on the last game stween S. A. Rumjahn and C. N. da Silva and Gray and Chan. The V.I.C. couple were in irresistible form and walked away with the game, conceding but six points.
This is the nearest Kowloon Tong have been to winning a league match this season and it was unfortunate for them that Grny should choose this match to be in such poor form.
NINE FOR ELIOT HALL Up at Eliot all the champions of the league continued to take full toll of their victims. St. John's wore lod to the slaughter and as expected lost all nine games. Ellet Hall played the same pairs as those which best C.R.C. last week, and only in two gamen did they concede double figuros.
F. H. Kwok and G. A. Smith took 10 aces from C. 0. Lou and C. S. Heng, while Roland Koh and Norman Smith collected 13 aces from K. Y. Lee and K. S. Liow.
Detailed acordo,
'KOWLOON TONG v. V.R.C.
S. A. Gray and P, Chan (Kewidon) beat Barretto and J. Soares 21-7; 1st to C. N. da Silva and S. A. Rumlahn 6-21; lost to M. M. Soares and D. Lopes 0.21.
P. Loung and J. M. Peng (Kowloon) beat Barretto and Soares 11-11, lost

Port Vale were at home and won by two goals to nil. On Saturday last they went to Sunderland and drew Z-2. Port Vale are now at home to Hartlepools or Grimsby-Reuter,

There was some excellent cricket played on Satur- day last, and the weather was ideal. The most im- portant match, from the point of view of the destination of the Senior Shield, was that between the Hongkong Cricket Club and the K.C.C. It was a desperate strug- gle, and the spectators were treated to a great many thrills, both of big hitting, and of stubborn defence.
