The Hong Kong Ladies' team gets better every week and although not at full strength on Saturday gave a very good account of itself, being somewhat unfortunate not to -secure two points.

Miss Maureen Booker, following her sis- ter June by some three weeks or so, made a welcome return to the team and showed plenty of dash whilst also revealing a lack of practice.

Miss Gray, as ever, was an Inspiring back and very little got past her. Miss Dorothy a very Watson and Miss June Booker are

In the Brawn Cup, "Y" Ladies, who, so a little bird told me, have their eyes on the championship, badly missed the ser- vices of the two members of their side who were assisting the senior team and suffer- ed their first defeat, going down to D.G.S. .by the only goal of the match.

Miss Nancy Maxwell and Miss P. Crofton saved the situation on numerous occasions when "Y" were making desperate efforts in the second half to equalise.

SOME BAD LUCK

(By “SPORTSHAWK ")

A CAPACITY ATTENDANCE of approximately 8,000 spectators gathered at Caroline Hill yesterday afternoon to witness an exceptionally fine game between China and Ire- land in the "Sunday Herald" Charity Cup competition in which the former won by 4 goals to 2 after leading 2-1 at the interval.

Both sides were compelled to make China's pivot, Hsu several positional changes owing to close check. the inability of some of the "schedul- ed" players to turn out.

Handicap to Avon, Oak Bay thus recorded its only other place during the second half when it finished a short head behind New Star, the favourite. Mr. Tang nursed his mount to perfection, refusing to give it its head early on or to be rushed when over- taken at the 14 mile starting gate.

Mr. L. Dunbar's Baffin Bay, surprise win- ner of the Fremantle St. Loger, would pro- bably have won the Queensland Autumn Champions had Mr. Hearne been up. As it was Mr. Hearne was booked to ride Mrs. finished Chips and Taggart's Lancashire fourth, while Buffin Bay was fully extend- ed to come within two lengths of A Grand Time.
