FOUR MORE MATCHES IN THE "CHINA MAIL" CHALLENGE CUP COMPETITION WERE PLAYED OVER THE WEEK-END AND THERE WERE ONE OR TWO SURPRISING RESULTS, THE ELIMINATION OF THE PAY SECTION BEING THE CHIEF ONE, I THOUGHT.

Third Battery played their first game to date and after a good recovery put out Scottish Com- pany's "E" rink, composed of members of the Kow- loon Dock platoon. As both the first battery teams won they can be said to be going great guns,

November 10 there will be a full programme, possibly morning and afternoon as the Final is scheduled to be played on the afternoon of November 17.
