Aussies At Their Brilliant Best

(By K. S. Duleepsinhjf)

Melbourne, Jan. 6. Australia won the third test by playing their best and most brilliant cricket this season and fully deserved their victory. India made a fight of it and if they had driven home their advantage at three critical moments, the match might have been much closer.

Tojo Begins To Buckle A Bit

Tokyo, Jan. 6. hard-faced Tojo deflantly placed his own case before the International Tribunal and made a special plea before the world for his Emperor and his country. He was the arrogant one- time dictator still when he ended his cross- examination with the rasping declaration, “I feel I committed no wrong" for the war which began under his government with the sur- prise attack on Pearl Harbour.

But he was only a desperate debater-hiding be- hind hombast and obscurity-when fighting at the end to clear his ruler and his nation. Tojo never

At a meeting of the General Committee held at the Softball Association's Headquarters on Mon- day night, it was announced that the Associa- tion had accepted a Trophy presented by the "China Mail" to be competed for annually by the Ladies League. Other trophies donated so far are the Molthen Shield for the Senior Lea- gue and the Hongkong & Shanghai Hotels Ltd.. International Shield.

During recent games, the ball had been batted right out of the playing field frequently and to avoid n misunderstanding on the part of base-runners, special ground rules were laid down by the meeting: also in view of the impending erection of a fence around the C.B.A. park, ground ruice cater to that eventually were also decided upon. are as follows:
