PANG LEADS HITTERS.

[By the Kid.]

South China showed no mercy to Lingnam University by walloping them yesterday by 31 to 4 in a baseball game at Caroline Hill yesterday. Although South China did not play up to expectations, they were good enough to teach their younger rivals some base. ball,

Winter Fong, pitching for the Canton students, was a pazzle for the first five innings, giving South China just two runs and striking out such hitters as Matty. Chang and Tommy Chan. His puzzles didi not last long, however, for when! the Southernera got to him in the sixth, there was no stopping them, as Matty Chang's boys made nine rung in the last 4 innings.

Tuft Fong, making his first ap- pearance on the mound, was reliev ed by Ed. Chang in the second innings after the students showed signs of heavy hitting. Ed. Chang did well, holding the students in check during the remainder of the game.

ENTHUSIASM

RUSH TO CHEER THEIR MAJESTIES

STIRRING CLIMAX TO BRILLIANT WEEK.

A memorable Ascot, historic for the quality of its racing and unsurpassed in the brilliance of its weather, reached an unforget- table climax on June 17 when the King's horse, Limelight, won the Jersey Stakes.

Astonishing scenes of enthusiasm followed his Majesty's victory. A mass of people, cheering, shouting, and waving silk hats, rushed from the Royal enclosure to the unsaddling stall,

Through them walked the King and Queen, his Majesty's face wreathed in smiles, to congratulate Limelight's trainer, W. Jarvis, and the jockey, Joe Childs.

Rarely in the history of the "spert of Kings" has there been

a more popular victory, or a warmer display of enthusiasm. Race- goers of long experience declared that the scenes were unparalleled in the history of Royal Ascot,

The totalisator set up another record. Its turnover for the four days exceeded £250,000 — the greatest sum ever invested in the "tote" at a British meeting.

On August 14, Andy Wilson, ex-captain of Scotland, for six years captain of Chelsea, and one of the outstanding figures of Bri- tish football, leaves for France, where, in his own words, he is going Tavish "to make the Nimes club into a real football team."

Andy's post must be peculiar. He has been made manager, captain, and trainer-coach of the club, and, more important still, he has been given a free hand.

"I am to model the team as I know from practical experience it should be moulded," he said to a London newspaper, "and I am not dependent on the whim of theoretical and paper experts among directors who have never kicked a football in their lives."
