Erratic Pitching...... Milton Goo, twirling for South China, was as erratic as usual, He had five strike-outs, but threw some awful stuff up in be- tween times. He gave five free passes, two in succession on elght. pitched balls.
However,
fielders got him out of the hole there, with the bases full and two men out. In the fourth he was up, in the air again, but managed to pitch his way out.
The flelding on both sides was very ordinary, and there was not a great deal of baseball brains in evidence most of the time. Matty Chang always looked good for a hit and came across with a lovely wallop right through the centre for a classy home run. This was easily the best hit of the day, and came along in the third innings, Matty was first man up, and-South China bunch- ed two more hits, with three fielding errors, to put on another two before the procession ended,
South China started off with two runs in the first canto, look- ing good enough to win right from the jump. The Hong Kong boys seemed short of practice,. and will do better than this when they get properly going.

`S.C.A.A. SPORTS:
What must have been a record attendance at any Night Swim- ming Fete yet held in the Colony, was seen at the South China Athletic Association's beach at North Point on Saturday. A good programme of events was or- ranged, and was carried through without a hitch. In the open events members of outside clubs were in the limelight, particular- ly in the Men's Open 100 Metres when V.R.C. stars were placed first, second and third. Mias Yeung Sau-king proved a shade too fast for her. British. rivals in the Ladies Open 100 Metres, Free Style beating Mrs. Jean MacMahon, by a fifth of a second, with Miss P. Hunt placed a close third.
Mr. Ed. da Roza gave one of his excellent diving exhibitions, and the closing item was a Water Polo match between a Services team and a team composed most- ly of University Old Boys, the latter team proving too strong! for their opponents. 8. H. Wong was the outstanding player, and had it not been for the inclusion of L. Roza Pereira in the Services team, the margin of defeat must have been decidedly greater. The second session saw an improve- ment in the play of the Services, who were finally rewarded by a goal from Roza Pereira, the final score being 3-1 in favour of the University..
The teams were as follows:- Services:-Trice, Gray, Reeds, Oliver, Gray, Lewis, L. Roza Pereira."
University; 8. H. Wong, S. V. Gitting, D. Laing, E. Zim- inern, K. O. Chau, M. C. Li, P. L. Tan.
Mrs. Luke, after a short spaech by Mr. Li Shiu-lan, distributed the prizes at the end of the sports.
