THE United Services side put up quite a good show on Sunday 'in only losing by the odd goal in five to a strong Colony side. They were in no sense disgraced and in fact with a little luck might quite conceivably have won.

ST. ANDREW'S are not going to find it easy to field as strong a team this year as they did last season. W. C. Choy, I understand, will play for
Chung Wah, and Freddie Wong is on the sick list and is not likely to be available.
Ernie Fincher and Henry Kew, two of the pioneers of the game in the Co- lony, are due back from leave shortly, however, and I have no doubt they will turn out for this club despite the fact that they are both members of Kowloon Cricket Club, which returns to the League this season after ព lengthy lay-off.

WHILST on the subject of KC.C., I
am told that A. E. P. Guest, A former St. Andrew's player, will turn out for the cricket club. The nucleus of this team therefore will be Guest, A. L. Fisher, P. Wynter-Blyth, A. Kevan and possibly J. L. Anderson when he returns from leave.

Mindanao's only error was.com- mitted by shortstop Badrick: after a hard try for a fly off Hal Winglee's
bat.
Hits: H.K. Ball Club 8, Mindanao 7. Hong Kong Ball Club, going to bat first, tallied one marker in the first canto. Omar, with two away, walked and scored on two wild pitches.
Mindanao answered with one count in their turn to bat; Keplinger was safe when Joe Bowen muffed a fly at * right-field and later scored on Bad- rick's single. Ball Club added three more markers in the second...when George Souza, All and Winglee scored on two walks, two hits and two passed balls.
In a rally in the last frame Ball Club netted three more runs on three hits, an error and a wild pitch.
Mindanao were blanked for three innings. They came back with one run each in the fifth sixth ”” and seventh. As usual the blue-jackets fought hard all the way but the breaks were against them. "Red" Keplinger's two bagger in the mixth was the longest clout of the tray and only one double-killing was pulled; Omar to Terry Leonard, to catch Douglas out and nail Badrick, who was a bit too slow in getting back to the initial bag.
