NO LEAGUE BASEBALL TILTS PLAYED: TWO ENJOYABLE PRACTICES

(By "Bingle")
Only two ball games were witnessed during the week-end, but neither was a Loaguo tilt. Saturday's game was called on account of rain, and because the Chinese Baseballers could not field a team yesterday, U.S.S. Mindanao claimed a forfeiture from them. The game was a friend- ly fixture between Britain and China in which tho former got a glimpse of things to come in the forthcoming International Sorios.
