KITCHEE 4, EASTERN O

-Eastern's Attack Falls To Pieces With A Lame Chu

By "TOUCHWOOD”

What a miserable exhibition Eastern, the de- fending League Champions, gave at the Hongkong Government Stadium yesterday, playing with a ten-man team. Chu Wing-keung hurt himself in the 15th minute when he kicked the ground instead of the ball and though he returned to play after the 26th minute, his foot injury so hampered him that he was a passenger for the remaining period.

Kitchee, after being held to a scoreless first half, slammed in four rapid gonds to which their opponents had no reply. Chu Wing-keung's injury was the main reason why the Eastern forward line falled to net any goals. The Eastern forwards have always depended on Chu to muke the openings and when he could not 'perform this task it came as no surprise that Kitches had things their way for the best part of the match.

Blackhawks Claim Sole Possession Of Top Rung In Pennant Ladder

By “TIME OUT”

Playing determined ball before a large crowd of supporters at King's Park yesterday, Olly Vas' youthful Blackhawks daimed sole possession of the top rung in the Men's Senior "A" Pennant ladder when they ousted the Warriors with a narrow 1-0 count.

Right from the shout of "Play Ball!" a red-hot pitching duel ensued with a series of goose-eggs decorating the scoreboard until the top of the sixth frame when the determined Hawks finally broke into the run column with a resounding over-the-fonce triple off Budji Dhuber's hickory,

LEAGUE CRICKET

THREE TEAMS STILL IN THE RUNNING FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP

By "RECORDER”

Three teams remain in the running for the First Division Cricket League Championship. Though the Optimists were well and truly beaten by the KCC at Cox's Road on Saturday and are now three points behind KCC and Army South, the key match comes next Saturday as Optimists meet Army South. KCC have Army North and the Scorpions left to play and both these teams are capable of upsetting them.

KCC won quite decisively by 70 runs. After declaring at 168 for eight, they left the 'Optimists some two hours' batting time and dismissed them for 98 with some minutes to spare.
