There was no disgrace in their defeat. because they were matched against inen who have been playing the game ever since they could run. George Denyer and "Taffy' Foley were the only two Sappers who managed to do anything against the Mindanao hurl... ers. The Engineers were without 'Flash' Ratcliffe, but 'Bernard' Shaw, 'Snip' Taylor and Freedy Fox were at the bases. The game was of a very poor standard and the Sappers failed to show their usual fight; one might almost say they lacked real interest in the game-most unusual for such a keen bunch as the Sappers.
