FILIPINO STAR NINE ROUT HONG KONG.

LEE AND HACHIUMA HAD VISITORS GUESSING.

A 4 TO 3 VICTORY FOR THE " STARS."

[BY HONOLULU KID.]

A farce in the first innings-thereafter a great ball game with Lee and Muchiuma going to the mound. That was the opening of the local baseball season at Happy Valley yesterday afternoon, when the Filipino All Star Nine walloped Hong Kong by a mere 14 to 3. But there was not as much difference in the respective abilities as the score would indicate.

It was a good awakening after baschall'e winter hibernation, and the uncompleted stand at the Happy Valley diamond was crowled with fans, when the All Star Filipino playera, who are on a tour to Japan by the President Picrec, net and routed n selected nine of flong Kong.

Cockey pitched the first inning for Hong Kong, and the local team's backbone was broken in this innings. It was no joke to concede six runs, of which two were circuit swats, in one single crato.

When Lee and S. Hachiuma took the pills in hand some capital baseball was seen and the visitors' hitting power was checked.

The first home run was bagged! By Toribio. He walloped out to right field and galloped in grand style. Following him, Rivera pull ed off another homer at the first bit. He packed so much force be- hind his swat, that he had time to return to third to step on the surk and cantered home again.

Bernales then went to first, and Laboon put him to second. Ylanan, taking the plate the second time, got the first sack, hut Liboon was put out at second.

Corkey in this inning walked one, and gave away nine hits. The visi- tors were six to the good in this opening canto,

Libon twirled a good game for the visitors, and was successful in Blauking Hong Kong in the first moiety. Hachiuma openeit for Hong Kong and hit down to third at the first awing. He got to the first sack.

Cockey took up the willow, and Hachiuns stealing to second was put out. Cockey was struck out. Leonard took a walk to first, and Zafra failed to bring him home, as he was struck out after two foul bils.

In the second, with Lee on the mound. the first three Filipino wielders all had a hit, but owing to snappy field work, they were also blanked.

The same treatment was meted out to Hong Kong and in the third the visitors were again treated to a dose of their own medicine, which they repaid by striking out Harnez and Cruz and only conceding one hit to Hachiuma, who Bied to pitcher.

In the eighth both teama bagged one each and the visitors added another in the ninth. The game terminated with the scores stand- in favour of the ing at 14 to 3 Manila boys.

The Game Bummarised. The score shows that the Fili pinos were a better ball team than the local players. But taking everything together there was not the margin that the score would indicate. Lapses by the first pit cher, and a flock of errors brought about their downfall.

The beautiful catches by Kuanno at centre field were the feature of the gaine.

That the visitors are healthy } wielders of the willow, there is no doubt, but had the local players understood each other, the scores would not have been so big.

The umpires, Kante of U.S.S. Helena and Mixon of U.8.5. Pompganu, were on the alert, and nothing escaped them.

Hong Kong players were S. Hachiuma, 2nd Cockey, P.; Leonard, L.F., Zafra, C.; Shim, R.F.; Alves, S.S.; Kasano, c.f.; Saido, 1st base; Cruz, 3rd b.; Bub stitutes: Lee, P., Harnez, at b.; Y. Hachiuma, e

F.M.S. GOVERNMENT CRITICISED.

Speaking at the seventh annual general tweeting of shareholders of the Sungei Way (Selangor) Rubber Co., Ltd., in Glasgow, Mr. Thomas North Christie presiding, said interi alia: Our Dutch rivala have wax- d wealthy and strong under the encouragement we and Ceylon give them, and for the next eight months of this year they will send into the market more rubber than witt] the British Malayan compulsorily restricted countries. A great Eng- lishman of letters has said: "We ser farthest into the future -and that is not far-when we most care- fully consider the facts of the pre- sent if we adopt those spectacles,

future holds for us British a second. place in the world's supply of rubber. This is just what the Stevenson Committee foured when, in May, of 1922, they emphatically stated that no compulsory scheme of restriction could be recommended unless it extended to the Dutch.

Clearly, sooner or later, it maust come to the inevitable contest for the premier position between the British and the Dutch growers, and at present we are putting their hoarse in order for the struggle and not our own, Next month onwards, they will per nere export quantities about 50 per cent, above ours.

Gate Money.

Gate money may be charged at League matches. Clubs charging gate money will, after paying therefrom the expenses of printing, posting, advertising, police and gatemen's charges, pay to the funds of the League five per cent, of any balance. A match statement and cheque for suma due under this rule will be sent to the Treasurer within 72 hours of the match.

About Withdrawals.

Mr. W. E. Hollands, hon. secre tary of the League, having com- mented in his annual report on the withdrawal of teams in mid-season, it is interesting to note that the Club de Recreio (semior champions) have submitted an additional rule which, seconded by the "Portu- guese Staff, Hong Kong & Shang- hai Bank Football Club," reada as follows:

Should a Club withdraw from the League before the completion of the first half of the season, its records shall be removed entirely from the League table.
