H.K. Brewers' Chance For Double Week-end "Killing"
Sappers Tangle With Chung Hwa Maroons
Double-Header To-day ·
(By "BALL FAN")
"PITTER-PATTER, pittor-patter, patter, no gamo, ball fans, so you'd botter scatter," has been the thome phrase the past few ball-playing days. at the Chatham Road stadium, giving the gashouse mob that dreary weather fooling and keeping them on the guossing shelf as to whether or not old Sol will line up with his cagerly awaited, "consistent sunshine form."
The carded triple header over the week-end opens up as usual this afternoon at 2.15 with H.B.'s bubble brewing beermen in a "just like that" fracas with South China's red and blue men. The Royal Engineers expect to check in with a clouting victory when they tackle the Chung Hwa Maroons in the nightcap. TO-MORROW morning's "day
of rest" tilt brings Dhun Ruttonjee's Brewmon back to the ball park for a chanco to make it two week-end wins in their fray with "hot poluto” Hamelin's Sappers.

OPENING the card to-day at
2.15 p.m. Dave Leonard, that red hot torridero, will probably take the mound in this "ensy go" against C. B. Wong's de- pleted South China nine, and the bambino should chalk up an easy victory in his first hurling effort of the season.
Ski Powinwski.. Tony Governude | und Johnny Schaberg are booked to call this one,
The beer barrel Brewmen made Just about the smartest deal during the hot stovo session when they acquired that sizzling mlie, Tony Alves. This new keystouing Brewer has been the shining star on the Ruttonjec infield since the start of this season, and his heady work up at the platter in "laying them where they ain't" has added extra power to this II.B. run-producing
attack.
However, veteran George Sousa has not displayed the dash of old, and has not dished in with that same confidence of other years.
Silent George has been an important.cog on the Leonard ball machine for many years and Brewer fans are ex- pecting the side arm shortstop to resume his brilliant play of past sea- sons before long.
With Waby uning declared a free agent, South China's chances of win- ning at least one game this season appear just about finished.

Veteran Ernie Moy's enticing "no Julee tail seould find the beer sluggers right on the spot, and the Caroline HUI men are in for a long bail-shagging session on the broad green expanse of the Chatham Road ball park.
