"OUT" IN THE COLD

South China's team spirit WEEKEND SOFTBALL

puts them out in front in the Championship race

By I. M. MacTAVISH

South China delighted their faithful fans when they beat Kit- chee by three goals to one in what should have been the match of the season at the Hongkong Stadium yesterday afternoon.

Far from being a great occasion this game came very close to being as big a flop as we have had to watch in a long time. Only 16,000 fans braved the cold weather and answered the call to see the clash of the season's two top teams. The other 12,500 fans who stayed away were the knowing

DODGERS, SCAA MAKE SURE OF MEN'S JUNIOR AND LADIES' TITLES

By

The weekend softball results were as expected.

In the Junior division the Austers went down once again and are still without a win. This time they bowed to the Dodgers who have now won the championship. The score was 8-3. The Indians lost further ground when the Pandas beat them 8-5 and in the other Junior match the Stardusts bowed to the Giants 21-3.
