SCORE WOULD INDICATE

Says "HANLINCODE"

The main rugger matches played off at Boundary Street, Kow- loon and at Sookunpoo, on the Island, on Saturday afternoon must have been a rather unusual experience for ruggerites in Hongkong.

It is not often that one sees a wet ground and a greasy ball in this part of the globe, much less for these factors to be accompanied by the actual rain, and heavy rain too, that causes these playing conditions.

After what promised to be a hot day with a hard ground, it must have been rather a pleasant surprise for the players when the dark clouds gathered and the rain started to fall. On the other hand, it did tend to cause the scrappiness which prevailed in all the major games played.
