THE PLAYERS. THE CROWD AND RESULTS IN THE AMERICAN

THE DIAMOND

FIRST GAMES REVIEWED

By "Bingle"]

Pour teanis have been in action since the League opened, and enough has been secn of the players to form a opinion. It now remains for the Kioras to make their debut. I also appears that the inevitable army of rope liners-except there isn't a rope-will do much to' sway the fat at some of the teams one way or the her, as they did in

former gears,

Now for the players. A locul seribe whose idea of baseball, and parti- cularly of the art of pitching, is like a blind man's idea of water-colnir, bas been blowing the trumpet loud and clear for Koga, the pitching ace of the Japanose pack. Well, all I can say is that Koga did not show up to the large headlines which the same scribe ha lavished upon him.

•

In my opinion I think Tsukagachi,: the southpaw, car twirl a better game, It is a problem, though, whether he can last the seven inning. I doubt it, from the exhibition he gave on Satur- day last. But he certainly has a better aped and is able to put nerosa some good curves and drops. He also sells

some smoke ones, too.

Two more League games played yesterday evening at the V.R.C. and resulted in a win for the King's Own Scottish Borderers and for Kowloon "A".

The first game was between Kow- loon "A" and the Royal Navy, both teams lining up as follows:

Faulkner,

This gang have so far showed the best fielding side, and even at bat they aren't so far behind. Ed. Chang is all right as a pitcher and I think he will improve with more practice. The great thing is that he and Matty Finlayson and Ferguson. Chang understand each other, and The Borderers predominated the what they do not know about teleplay from the start and the Chinese graphy is not worth mentioning.

The Filipino crew have certainly made a good start, but it is problematic whether the good work can be kept up. Alvares, as a pitcher, is good for the

razzberry, and he will be more rattled than a rattle-snake.

In Selding, this crew can rely only on about four men. The others are not per manently safe, although they show a flash of brilliance at times. They car also boast of a coupla of batters, and they are Zafra and Terry Leonard. Even they, wherr confronted with a pitcher of Ruffin calibre, will not shine in the way they did when eating out of Russakoff on Sunday. I do not think they can keep the shield.

ARMS AGAIN

ROBBERS WITH REVOLVER

AND DAGGERS

'COUP SUCCESSFUL

Yesterday afternoon armed rob- bers raided the premises of the Shan Shing Transportation. Co., No. 18, Eastern-street.

Three men were concerned in the coup, and according to the victims, they all spoke the Punti dialect. They visited the place on the pretext of discussing business. Suddenly a revolver and two daggers were pro- duced, and the manager, his wife,; son and two assistants were herded in a cubicle where they were bound and gagged. Then two other rob-: bers entered and fastened the door behind them.

A systematic search of the place was carried out. From the safe, which was forced open, they took $500 in Hong Kong notes, and $806 in Chinese 20-cent pieces. Other things stolen included jewellery worth $414.

The robbers. all made good their escape.
