"General" Chang Kam-hoi Hongkong Footballer Only One Surprise In
Inspires Troubled Tigers To Another Grand Victory
By I. M. MacTAVISH
'Hold that Tiger' is no longer merely a catch line in a popular song it is the watchword of every local team that comes up against the lively Sing Tao soccerites.
At the Club Stadium yesterday afternoon the young Tigers showed that, in- experienced as they are supposed to be, they are capable of fighting back when they find things are running against them.

First Round Of Seven-a-Sides
By "PAK LO"
On Saturday the first round matches of the Blarney Stone Seven-a- Side Tournament were played off on the Navy ground at Causeway Bay in the afternoon, and under floodlights on the Club ground in the evening.
The continuity of the afternoon games was marred, from the spectators' point of view, by the Intervals which were interspersed between the games. Tuls was due to the number of last-minute scratchings and no blamé can be attached to the Tourna- ment organisera.

Braves Slaughter The Powerful Pandas; Navy Beat Warriors
Hard-hitting Braves slaughtered the once powerful Pandas 25-7 in a one-sided game and U.S. Navy downed the Warriors in a sixth inning rally to win 13-8 in the Senior "A" League softball matches at King's Park yesterday.
The Tribesmen started on the assault with lightning speed and before the first half inning was over they had already batted luckless young pitcher W. K. Wong of the Pandas out of the box and put the game on ice.
