evenly contested that an extra ond had to be played before the K.F.G., pair.emerged winners by 4 chote.

Hung's pair lost a glorious chance to qualify for the Third Round when they led 15-12 at the 15th, but they then allowed their opponents to level the scores at 17-all at the 21st. It was just the chance that Field and his partner wanted, and they showed it in no uncertain manner by chalking up a four at the extra end. Detailed scores were as follows:-

Field 1 0 0 0 2 1 0 2 1 0 2 3 0 0 0 1 1 0 2 0 1 4

Whether or not the H.B. man- agement had sufficient reasons for adopting such an attitude, I am not prepared to discuss, but it can be assumed that one of the reasons for them to sever their connections with the League has been due to the loss of valuable points which would affect their pennant (nçes considerably.

It should be realised that the League is bound by its regulations, and the only grounds recognised by the League, on which a post- Iponement can be granted, is when Ja minimum of three players are affected by military duties, unless a postponement is privately ar ranged.

Therefore, Mindanao was the

only party empowered with, such an authority, and should have been consulted by H.8. As far

The Ruthian blow went for four bases,

Umpires selected for this after- noon's opener are Lou Pawloski, Stan Leonard and Bill Chang.

To-morrow's Game

The way it looks to me, it seems that Lou Pawloski's Mindanao mace-maulers are due to add another notch to their five-game winning streak, when they meet the Mohawks at 10.00 a.m. tu- morrow.

Chuck Waggoner's resuscitated hopes of Mohawks finishing in First Division, with two victories to their credit have suffered a severe setback with the news that most of the teams' mainstays, in- cluding Johnnie Schaberg, Bernie "Red" Johnson and Larry Ham- lin, will be away from the Colony

It is more unfortunate that the news should come at a time when Schaberg is developing into h |first-class flinger.

The wise step now would be for the H.B. to withdraw their re- signation and re-open the case for further consideration, whilst refusal on the part of Mindanao to take the points would, indeed, be a sporting gesture.
