CRC-S. CHINA MATCH MAY DECIDE THE "B" DIVISION WINNERS

Says "ARGONAUT"

What may perhaps be the deciding game of the Colony Men's "B" Division tennis league will be played off this afternoon at Tai Hang between Chinese Recreation Club "1" and South China Athletic Ar sociation.

Two thrilling replays between these two Clubs were necessary last year to decide the Championship, the first match being washed out halfway by rain.

In the second replay, South China caused a stunning upset when they defented the Tai Hang club, who 'included K. C. Dao in their team, by a convincing margin of six sets to three.

Of particular interest. In this afternoon's game in view of the appeal for sportsmanship that preceded this season's League tennis, will be the line-ups of

two clubs.

In their last outing, the Chinese Recreation Club fielded 100 percent "D" team, but the same could not be said of South China with Patrick Poon and Tony Liang in their opening match line-up,

The Softball fraternity congregated at the Peninsula Hotel on Saturday night to celebrate the end of another successful season with their traditional Presentation Ball, where champions and also-rans laid aside cares of the diamond and indulged in un evening of merriment. There were about 400 present.

Highlight of the function was the announcement of the winners of the Most Valuable Player ballot and when Tony Osmund (Seniors), Harry Louie (Juniors) and Alice Mar (Ladies) were called up in turn to receive the Association's award, the vociferous acclamations left no doubt as to the popularity of the vote.

Prior to the distribution of prizes,

"Doc" Motthen, Preal- dent of the Association, made a short speech expressing his pleasure at the support received on and off the field in the cause of Soliball, and particular men- tion was made of his gratitude to his hard-working Committee without whom success could
