Recreio “A”
Again Defeated
RECREIO “A” suffered their fourth defeat of the season when they met the
Police Recreation Club on
Saturday at Happy Valloy, repeating, though under less imposing circumstances, the surprise of last year.
As A result, Crnigengower Cricket Club, having played only vino games, are ahead by five points, and seem assured of the First Division Champlonship.
The time is unofficial, but Hang's quality can be judged by the fact that he beat Tsang Cheong-ming. Lat Tsun aprinter.
Second time on Saturday that was prominent was that of the powerful Sing Tao trio-Shek Kam-pul, Ng Nin and Wong Chi-hung-in the 150 yards medley relay at the Chinese Batting Club gala at North Point.

Words of Appreciation Probably Misinterpreted
Local Authorities Unconcerned
(By "Tinker")
WHAT APPEAR to have been a few words of com. pliment both to the country and the hospitality of the Australians have, I think, received a little too much pub. licity and prominence at this end of the line. "Reuter's" message the other day that the Eastern-Sing Tao touring football team in Australia had expressed the opinion that they would like to remain down there savours to me of just a natural expression of appreciation.
Soccer "Tests" Even
SYDNEY, July 19 (Reu- ter)Australia beat China, represented by the touring Eastern-Sing Tao Football team, by five goals to two in their fourth Test match held here to-day.
In quite the same light can be viewed the second part of the cable that some of them would like to open up, business down there, for Australia at the mo- ment must be quite a hive of industry for the War Effort.
The fuel that "United Press" car- rled no reference to the wishful; Thinking adds weight to the bellef that the whole is just the outcome of a few words between "Reuter's" representative and one or two of the team, possibly the manager.
However, since the printed in Hongkong rumours. have: been flying around in their usual *****64 | manner.
China won the First Test at Melbourne 6-4, lost the Second at Sydney 2-4 but won the Third at Sydney 5-2.

Great Attraction THE tourists have had an enormo
ously successful tour to dale, and the presence of a wholly Chin- ese eleven who are capable of good football has undoubtedly been #1 major attraction to the Aussies, who have flocked in great numbers to see them play.
The teams they have met have been amateurs and the "gates" have no doubt been shared in ac- cordance with Amateur ruling, and though we are really in ignorance up here as yet. It is just possible 'Dat thoughts of professionalism have been entertained,
However, I should imagine that like at Home there is a great differ- ence between amateur and profes- sional succer down there, and I wonder how the team on tour would measure up to the latter?
