WEN-ROZARIO MATCH WAS THE BEST OF LAST NIGHT'S SEMI-FINALS AT RECREIO

By "ARGONAUT"

In the opening semi-final matches of the Colony Badminton Championships at Recreio yesterday, C. C. Wen of Kowloon Tong scored a glorious three-set triumph over Recrelo's youthful champion, Francis Rozario, to reach the final of the Men's Junior Singles event.

Prolonged applause from the packed hall at the end of the gruelling battle was suitable acclamation of it being the best match of the evening, in which both victor and vanquished were equally deserving of praise.

The Junior League Playoff Series

By "GRANDSTAND”

The Blackhawks chalked up their first victory in the playoff series when they nosed out Rexes G-5 on Saturday aided by a first inning splurge of four runs manufactured around a trio of bunched up blows.

Winning pitcher Joey Graca was in rare form and yielded only one hit which was a safe bunt by A. M. Wahab in the initial canto and paved the way for one Rexes' run.

Last night's games were play- ed in bad conditions, there being a greasy pitch and ball and a blustery wind with drizzle in it.

That alone could upset the most carefully laid plans and it is then that the fit, hard player who is up on the ball and can seize any opportunity has the chance of shining.
