(By "Bingle")
Fans got thoir money's worth over the wook- ond when three swoll games were`played at Caro- line Hill. Upsetting the predictions of all the dopestors, the Hongkong Baseballers, led by Doc Molthon, were only defeated 8 to 6 by the youth- ful Chinose Baseball Club, instead of the wide margin that was expected on Saturday.
