U.S. NAVY BEAT S. CHINA "B" I

19-4 IN SUMMER

LEAGUE SOFTBALL MATCH

The US Navy, represented by the USS Fose, broke into the winning column when the sailors trounced South Chinn "Bees" by a 19-1 score in the Summer Soft- ball League at King's Park yesterday. Victorious pitcher was Dunne Bratton whe was only relieved in the seventh by "Lefty" Frank Moore after the issue of the ball game was beyond all doubt.

Feature of the game yesterday was the prolific number of errors charged to the Caroline Hill "Bees", last season's junior leaguers In the Hongkong Softball Asso- elation Winter League. All in all, the Caroliners committed 20 errors against the Navy's five.

TOUR DE FRANCE

Snow Capped Mountain Climb Reduces British Team To Five Riders

Briancon, South France, July 14.

The snow capped mountains of the French Alps today reduced the British team to five riders in the gruelling Tour de France cycling marathon. Ten of them started out from Le Havre for the 2,786 miles tour.

Ian Steel of Glasgow was today's victim. "My legs were giving me so much pain that I just couldn't keep on," said the 20-year-old cycle mechanie from Glasgow.
