BRAVES SHOULD BEAT THE USS ORCA IN TOMORROW'S FEATURE MATCH
Says "SNOOPER”
My prediction is that Ed Carvalho's champion Braves will beat the alugging USS Orca outfit in the feature Senior "A" return softball tussle on Sunday at 2 p.m. at King's Park, but the gobs may pull a surprise in this eagerly-awaited clash which is expected to draw another capacity crowd of fans. Preceding the Braves-Orca battle royal, the Warriors face the youthful Rexes in the morning session game.
It will be remembered that the Orca ballplayers were almost through in the first round meeting but for the magnificent spirit of the Braves who rallied in the seventh to tie up the ball game and then went on to beat the sailors by 3-2 in the eighth. The Orca lodged a protest in the seventh and later the Protest Board of the Hongkong Softball Association upheld the objection. The first round game will be replayed from the seventh canto next Sunday (January 17).

A 100-1 Slice Came Off For Richard Burton
Supreme moment in the golfing life of Richard Bur- ton (Coombe Hill) came with a three at the 18th hole at St Androwa, which won him the 1939 Open Championship from Ameri- can Johnny Bulla by two shots.
This, however, did not provide his biggest thrill. It was a 100-1' shot in a London tournoment the same year. He recalls:
"The most thrilling shot, and the one I remember best, was at the 480-yard 8th hole on the Moor Park High course,
"My drive was sliced; Anished behind trees. A No. 4 iron could have got the ball over them but not on the green a probable 6.
"So I decided on a 100-to-1 shot and it came oft. I sliced a brassto shot almost half a cirelo round the trees.
"It was no half-hearted effort. The ball widzzed its way to the green and finished 5ft, from the pln. Down went the putt for a 3. This enbled me to Úe for the £300 first

In the first game Wales have had to field a weaker side than they hoped to, as the Welsh Regiment have refused to allow any of their players to be selected, as they have a friendly inter-unit match on Saturday..
This is not the spirit that is wanted in, the Colony's rugger and the Welsh Regiment should realise that in rugger circles they have been highly criticised in the last few days for their defection from the Internationals.
